Chips Inc. Releases Compatible Lexmark E-Series Chips
TARPON SPRINGS, Fla. — Chips Incorporated released the Lexmark E250, 350, 352 and 450 compatible chips.
The E250 printer utilizes a 3,500-page yield cartridge. The E350 and E352 printers are compatible with the same 3,500-page yield cartridge that is used in the E250 and are also compatible with a high-yield 9,000 cartridge. The E450 utilizes its own cartridges that are not compatible with the E250, E350 or E352.
The low-yield E450 compatible cartridge provides a 6,000 yield and the high-yield cartridge provides an 11,000 yield. All four of the cartridge chips (3,500, 6,000, 9,000 and 11,000) are available. These chips provide performance and full functionality equivalent or superior to the OEM offerings. All four of these printers provide duplex printing. Although the chassis and cartridge are very similar to the previous E330 and E340 models, there are subtle differences that will not allow an E330 or E340 empty to be used in these new models.
“Chips Incorporated is proud to be able to offer these first-to-market products to our customers quickly after newly released printers become available,” said Bob Rauber, president of Chips Incorporated. “We provide these solutions well before our chip competitors have a product available. These chips, as well as the rest of Chips Incorporated’s complete lineup of Lexmark-compatible chips, are unaffected by stealth firmware issues.”
