I was first exposed to Lexmark back in 2000 when i worked for PC World. I was informed that they were used Epson Technology for their printers but i always associated the company with having expensive ink cartirdges at £30!!. Anyway, the company was created in 1991 with the objective of creating printers for both businesses and home use. They were also one of the first companies to offer cheap printers below the £50 mark and i bought this printer for £20 so this seemed a good buy.
Since Lexmark use Epson technology, I was keen to try it especially as it is was affordable and judging by the dpi(Black: 2400 dpi - x 1200 dpi - Colour: 4800 dpi - x 1200 dpi - USB), it had good quality for the price.
The Lexmark Z 640 printer is basic printer and comes with one colour cartridge which will print both colour and black. It also comes with the manual,printer power cable and the driver installationCD. The look and feel of the printer is rather cheap but i suppose this is expected. It is also a large sized printer so if space is a problem then i would probably not recommend this to you.
SET UP AND INSTALLATION ---------------------------------------- The printer was very easy to set up. Simply plus it in with a USB cable(not included) and install the installation CD and picture editing software. The printer is easy to configure via the windows wizard and you will soon be able to start printing.
After you have installed you have an option to check ink levels and you will be given some tips on getting the most out of your printer.
Print Quality ----------------------- I only bought the printer to print out documents and photos and the overall print quality is pretty good considering it is such a cheap printer. In terms of running costs, they are very high and buying third part cartridges can also be expensive and tricky to get a hold of.
Overall i'd say this printer was good value for money but running costs and the design of it let it down.

Good review. Personally, I've always found Lexmark quality perfectly acceptable, but they don't seem to have bought into the green agenda yet - since it's as cheap to buy a new printer as it is to buy new ink cartridges, they really reinforce the "throwaway" mentality.
