As with its bigger brother the Lexmark Pro915, the Lexmark Pro715 is a bit expensive right now, as it's so new, but once it has been on sale for a few months, those prices are sure to be more sensible. Nonetheless, as it stands, £200 for a fairly basic all-in-one by 2012 standards, is a lot to pay and despite reasonable print quality and fair running costs, the Pro715 isn’t currently particularly good value for money.

Printing costs are a bit of a mixed bag. Lexmark’s high-yield black ink cartridge gives you a cost of less than 2p per page for printing simple black-and-white text. However, the high cost of its colour ink cartridges pushes the cost of colour printing up to 12.5p per page, making it the most expensive in this group test. The Lexmark Pro715 is, therefore, a good choice for home workers or small businesses that primarily need affordable black and-white printing, and only occasionally need to produce documents in colour.
