Lexmark is the first printhead manufacturer ever to use the Excimer laser in its production of color and black inkjet printheads. This precise laser allows the creation of smaller, more exact nozzles and ink channels within the print cartridge ink delivery system. The print quality of the Excimer laser-crafted printhead will raise the standard for inkjet printing and usher in a new era of high-quality printing available from your desktop. Lexmark's color delivery system uses specially formulated, concentrated color ink for intense colors on plain paper. Other manufacturers brag about their results on special coated paper but ask them about printing on plain paper. The inks used in the Lexmark printhead are concentrated so Lexmark uses more color and less water. This means less paper distortion, quicker drying and sharper, clearer colors.
