Lexmark Inkjet Printers

The Bottom Line: With so many other inexpensive photo inkjets on the market today, we can't recommend the Lexmark z2420--it's prone to paper jams, prints at a snail's pace, and produces unacceptable quality prints.

The Bottom Line: The Lexmark X3550 is a middle-of-the-road multifunction printer with an affordable starting price and reasonable ink refill costs. Photo prints leave something to be desired, but it performs the rest of its tasks acceptably well.

Specs: Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 600 x 1200 dpi

The Bottom Line: The Lexmark Z1300 isn't for everyone, but, for users who want to spend the bare minimum for occasional prints, it's quite a bargain.

Specs: Personal printer - Ink-jet - Color, 8.5 in x 17 in, Wired, 22 pages/min, 16 pages/min, 12 pages/min, 5 pages/min, PC, USB

The Bottom Line: For tight budgets where only the occasional printout is needed, the single-function Lexmark Z845 is a good choice. It can't match the feature sets, the print speeds, or the print quality of pricier models, but it's cheap and simple to operate.

The Bottom Line: The Lexmark X9350 is a decent choice for the budget-minded small-office user who needs an all-in-one printer packed with features and can live without top-notch print speeds and print quality.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 1200 x 4800 dpi

The Bottom Line: The Lexmark P350 snapshot photo printer is less expensive than the competition, but its slower print speeds and somewhat half-baked features make it less attractive.

Specs: Compact photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, 4 in x 6 in, A6 (4.13 in x 5.83 in), 0.6 min/page, PC

The Bottom Line: This is a decent budget-quality photo printer, scanner, and photocopier for amateur shutterbugs with PictBridge cameras.

Specs: Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 600 x 2400 dpi

The Bottom Line: This is a good beginning investment for new amateur photo enthusiasts; pickier shutterbugs should pay more for a better-performing all-in-one.

Specs: Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 1200 x 2400 dpi

The Bottom Line: Lexmark simplifies this easy-on-the-eyes multifunction so that it won't confuse you, but can you trade ease of use for quality?
