PrintSent vs Traditional Lexmark Printers
Dealertrack expects Lexmark network printers, so that's what most dealerships buy. But for documents that end up emailed anyway, a virtual printer does the same job without the paper, toner, or maintenance. Here's how PrintSent compares to a traditional Lexmark printer.

The Bottom Line
What it comes down to
Traditional Lexmark printers produce great paper — but most dealership documents are emailed, not filed, so the paper is just a step on the way.
PrintSent delivers the same full-fidelity document straight to an inbox, removes the per-device cost and maintenance, and still lets you print to any printer when you genuinely need a hard copy.
