Lexmark Z 640

...and decided to Buy the Lexmark Z640 printer **Price and Availability** Cheapest Tesco.com and Tesco in store - £18.94 Comet - £19.99 Amazon - £24.95 Curry's - £25.00 @ the time of writing this review these prices where correct. **Who are Lexmark?** Well in my opinion Lexmark are one of the leading manufacturer that supply quality printers at affordable prices. Now according to Lexmark they supply printers to over 150 countries, the company was ...
...I have sold you the Lexmark Z640 printer, here are my final thoughts on this printer. You only get one cartridge which is the black and you need to buy the Colour one on the day to allow you to use the printer to its best capacity. The colour cartridge will set you back a further £19 at most retailers. The fact you are not supplied a USB cable was a pain in the rear too as these things are so cheap, beside the point I got a half decent one from Tesco ...

Review of Lexmark Z 640

...of searching I found the LEXMARK Z640 which was selling for £25.99 at Comet.

The printer is a very light grey colour, with a dark grey ...

...can get it cheaper from lexmark website itself. It is cheaper because they are doing promotion. It is now cost £19.18 for two (including VAT at 17.5%). In other words, it comes in a twin pack. The normal price is £22.56 (Including VAT). However the promotion of 15% off will be due on 24th April 2007. Design I will not say it is the nicest one. It is not ugly, very plain, not too big (although it could be smaller). It fits well with that price. Conclusion ...

Review of Lexmark Z 640

Bought for printing out mainly text as I was starting college, upon unboxing I found that there was no black ink cartridge supplied. However, if you scout around amazon, you will find that number 17 and 27 ink cartridges are extremely cheap, so I ordered a no 17 black for around £7. After having done so, the printer was still cheaper than most of the competition. I now mainly use it for photo printing on glossy 4x6 paper. For this the quality is ...
...of this printer is the refill possibilities. The coloured caps come off the cartridges and they are very easy to refill. I run mine - I kid you not - on food colouring. There is no reason why not, the colours printed are rich and if it ever breaks the print head, the cartridge would have been in the bin long ago so it is no loss (the print head is built in to every cartridge). I have done around 80 4x6 pictures as well as some A4 pictures since buying ...

Review of Lexmark Z 640

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 ...
...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 installation CD. The look and feel of the printer ...

Review of Lexmark Z 640

I bought this printer to just do a few "printing chores" at work. I was fed up with going into internet cafes to print out schedules, staff photos and profiles, etc., and so I decided to treat us to a printer to link up to my personal laptop, which I bring into work and which everybody tends to use. It is currently on special at Argos for £19.99, so I thought I'd have one, easy to purchase in the manner of all normal Argos walk-in transactions. You ...
...but thats only another couple of quid, and the lady on the till does check to see whether you want to buy one as well. It does, however, come with the power cable (obviously), so you don't have to worry about buying that. So I got it home, unpacked it, plugged it in to the laptop. It has a weird little box thing that you slot into the power section but which you plug the powerplug into, not difficult to figure out, then I just inserted the USB cable ...

Well, I bought my lexmark printer from currrys, this printer's printing quality is excellent. When you compare with some other quality printers sometimes we will not be able to tell the difference of their quality. To setup this printer is quite easy, anyone can do it . This is printer is compatible with Windows 98/Me/2000/XP. The printing speed of this printer is a bit slow but still it worths. A small problem occurs with printer is the Ink cartridge. ...

Review of Lexmark Z 640

I bought this from ASDA for £19.96, so it beats the prices I've seen everywhere else. I wanted something cheap and small to fit my desktop, and would be decent enough to produce black and white leaflets good enough for photocopying. So far it is good enough. The setup was worrying, only one printer cartridge, but that was ok, you can load just one or two, I have not come across that before. The noise is acceptably low and the speed is sufficient ...
...small enough for most home offices and actual print quality is fine for most jobs, though not for legal letters I'd say. I had to let XP install the drivers as the CD setup programme didn't want to work, so this might worry absolute beginners, as the picture-based large print install guide tells you not to use the XP new hardware wizard. But it was quick to setup regardless, less than five minutesout of the box. Better than my last, HP, printer! ...

Review of Lexmark Z 640

...insinct was to check the Lexmark websites for replacements - you can get (up to date price) 1 black and 1 colour for 22 pounds. I thought this was reasonable, but this being my first printer i dont know in comparison. You can also get them for cheaper on Ebay - but watch out for the 'compatible' ones - these might invalidate your guarantee. Printing speed isnt the best, but is acceptable. Print quality is high - first few prints seemed to have ...

Review of Lexmark Z 640

...and considered high quality. The Lexmark Z640, although quite sluggish, produces very decent printed documents. I find it impossible to tell the difference between documents printed at home, on the Z640, and those printed at college. You would not expect superb photo quality from a printer of this price range and you don't get it. However it does print colour documents reasonably well which is satisfactory for my own requirements. You shouldn't have ...
...laid out in easy to follow steps. Another good point about the Z640 is the paper feed which functions correctly. This is quite impressive as printers in the lower price bracket can (and most do) annoyingly shovel 10 sheets through with each request. One major disappointment is the cost of replacement ink cartridges. You will struggle to purchase both colour and black cartridges for less than £30, which considering the price of the printer is rather ...

Review of Lexmark Z 640

I bought this printer a couple of years ago and since then it has been nothing but trouble. It was OK to start with, printing at a good speed, good colour. But, however after about a year the printing began to become so slow it takes an eternity to print one page. Also, the colour isn't as good as it used to be so we are printing sub-standard things. Recently, the printer has given up completely and we cannot print at all. The printer is quite hard ...

Review of Lexmark Z 640

I bought this printer from Argos,as I had a letter to print out and the printer at my local library was broken. It only cost me £19.99 and I was really pleased with the price. I was quite disapointed when I realized there was no USB cable, but luckily I had a spare one. I managed to get it set up ok and the print out was fine. After about a week however the ink started to fade. The words appear red and do not even get me started on pictures.I thought ...

Review of Lexmark Z 640

I bought this printer in an emergency, and there is not much to say about it that is positive. Yes it is cheap but it's not good value. To start with it only comes with a colour cartridge so initially black is washed out and expensive to print as it mixes all the colours. The images are not that crisp even with realignment of the print head. It has silly software that talks to you (this can be turned off and should be) and does not come with a USB ...
