"Handsome inexpensive wireless printer"
Pros: Great looking, fast, inexpensive, wireless, good color printing
Cons: Instructions for ad hoc wireles setup not clear
Summary: If Apple came out with a printer, it would look like the Lexmark Z1420. It is gorgeous!
This is the least expensive wireless printer on the market.
I have a small space and use a laptop as a desktop replacement and got sick and tired of wires sticking out everywhere. I use a Sprint mobile broadband card for the Internet (no wires, no router). So, I had to setup an ad hoc wireless connection ( computer direct to printer). I had to call Lexmark for help. The wait time was less than five minutes and I actually got somebody on the phone who knew his stuff (Try that with that HP hellhole in India).
I printed the "Desert Landscape" picture from Vista Pictures on 8 1/2x11" cheap paper. Detail and color reproduction were excellent. I suspect good enough for simple brochures. CNET may possibly be right not to use the Z1420 as a family picture printer, but "hey" I send my pictures off; why bother, especially with all my misprints?
I compared the black print with that from two HP Printers and the HP's was indeed better, but I had to get a magnifying glass out to see the difference. I would not hesitate to print my resume with this printer, but I would probably not try to print the bible with it.
All in all this is a winner!
