All for one

Advantages: Focuses on friendships
Disadvantages: Concepts may be difficult for very young children to understand

...All for one. Another book by Jill Murphy, who over the years has been quite a prolific children's story book writer This one focuses on friendships, and is a great book to read to children who might be going through problems with friends, and who may feel they are being left out of things. THE STORY AND ILLUSTRATIONS. The story begins with Marlon, who is a dragon, and also the main character in the story, running out of things to do. He had done all of his favourite things, like drawing and making secret caves, and goes to his granny to say that he wished he had someone to play with. Granny and mum get him to tidy up his mess,and he goes outside where he finds his friends hitting each other with swords. They are playing the Three Muskateers and when Marlon asks if h can join in, they won't let him, because there are of course...

Review of All For One - Jill Murphy

lexmark x3470

Advantages: good cheap printer
Disadvantages: colour could be better

...Its possible these days to get printers that are really cheap, cheaper infact than the ink that goes in them itself. And this is another one like that. So here is a fantastic printer, made by Lexmark, who make and specialise in designing and making quality printers. Its does a lot of things and even has some capabilities built it that for a printer coming in at just £35 you totally wouldn’t expect. The printer is cheaper than some of their usual models, and it perhaps doesn’t look quite as good. There’s no glossy white or black finish like on their more stylish models and it does appear quick big and bulky. I think that they could have probably cut down a bit on the size as some appears just as waste. The buttons or rather lack of buttons on this printer could be looked at as a bad thing. However when I use...

Lexmark X2500

Advantages: reasonable price
Disadvantages: could be faster

...Lexmark make a lot of printers and all in ones these days, this Lexmark X2500 is at the higher end of the range, however it will only cost you a great, £35 from most places. Getting an all in one works out a lot cheaper than buying things separately, also it looks a lot better than having a load of separate devices everywhere, and of course it also saves a lot of space on your desk. The best way to describe its shape is to describe it as three separate blocks glues together to give an amazing, almost sculpture like looking all in one printer. The first section at the top, is home to the scanner, the bottom is home to the paper out section and the block onto the side of the printer is home to all the buttons that are on top of the printer to make them nice and easy to get to. They isn’t a screen on this however, which I think...

Lexmark Z 1520

Advantages: cheap, good looks
Disadvantages: a bit big

...Lexmark Z 1520 Lexmark are a company that have been designing and making printers for a while now, so firstly you know that they are great quality. However one bad ting about them is that their ink is quite dear compared with other printer manufacturers. You can however shop around, buy cheaper ink compatibles or even refill your old cartridges if you want to save the odd quid or two. The printer itself looks very cool and futuristic, its cool shiny white body and its black panels go well to give this printer a stylish edge against all its other competitors in the market today. It is however quite long and does appear quite big in the flesh. I cant help thinking they could have saved a lot of space and I feel that they really could have made it smaller and more compact. Also with this one, there’s the opportunity to do...

Review of Lexmark Z1520

love a lexmark

Advantages: cheap and does all the basics very well.
Disadvantages: no frills!

...Being that we have 2 pc`s at home and up till recently only one printer, we thought it time to get another printer for upstairs. as i mainly use the downstairs pc there was no need for anything fancy just something to print of a few pages or documents when required. The epson R300 is the printer i use downsatirs and this lexmark comes no where near being able to compete with it, as i use the epson for disc printing photo printing and all sorts which this lexmark just doesnt do. That aside as i said it was only a second printer fo light work i was looking for and this printer can easily take on that task, its very user friendly and fairly fast. It produces very clear print and images even when the ink is running very low which is one thing the epson wont do! Low ink in the epson leads to inferior printing. not so with this...

Review of Lexmark Z 645

Lexmark is very reliable

Advantages: wifi, screen
Disadvantages: 2 separate ink cartridges

...I bought this product around 3 months ago, i have always had lexmark printers, and i really liked the design of this one. It is an all in one, so a printer, scanner and copier, and the price ranges from around £30-50 which i think is reasonably good value for money. It takes two print cartridges, one black on colour, the numbers are 3 and 4 cartridges respectively, which are also fairly cheap. at between £13-18 depending on where you purchase them, I find the fact that it has separate cartridges for black and colour, better than those printers which just have one cartridge for both, as i personally use a lot more black than colour, so i only have to replace whichever one is needed as opposed to the whole cartridge, when there may still be colour ink left in it. It has an extendable tray which you can pull out while it is printing...

Review of Lexmark X3580

Lexmark does it again!!!

Advantages: Everything you need in one complete package, excelent quality scans, copy, and prints!
Disadvantages: Abit on the slow side when printing, cartridge status bar can be very unrealible!

...When the time came to send my Lexmark printer to the knackers' yard, I thought that an all in one machine would be the most economical choice! Since being happy for a number of years with my Lexmark printer I had know hesitation in purchasing another product from them! The reason I went for the X1180 model was it was the cheapest at the time and most importantly looked uncomplicated to use! Design When it arrived and I took it out of the box I was mildly pleased with the size (not as bulky as I thought it would be) but saying that it has a height of 16.3 cm and a depth of 30.8 cm which unless you've got a lot of space, which luckily I have, then it may not be practical for people with limited space. The machine itself looks stylish, a nice grey finish and only 5 buttons (I always think that the more buttons there are, the more...

lexmark all in one

Advantages: design
Disadvantages: could have a screen

...This is a fantastic printer for a low budget person, it does many things and does them to a great standard of quality too. Lexmark are a company that have been designing and making printers for a while now, so firstly you know that they are great quality. The best way to describe its shape is to describe it as three separate blocks glues together to give an amazing, almost sculpture like looking all in one printer.

They isn’t a screen on this however, which I think would be very useful, but still for a printer for under £40 what more can you really want. Having an all in one, doesn’t...

Lexmark X4650

Advantages: wi-fi printing, exellent scanning features
Disadvantages: ink prices

...The Lexmark X4650 is a superb all in one printer. Setting it up was easy and connecting it to my wireless network was no hassle. The included CD basically is a step by step guide in to setting the product up and makes for a no-fuss setup. Scanning is excellent as when scanning documents, the included software recognizes text and you can edit your document. Also copying is simple, just pop the paper above the scanner and watch it print out. The photo printing options are limited to a few options such as either; print all, print last photo taken, date range (per month) or photo number. Another thing that may let the printer down is ink cartridge prices as these can become pricey. Never the less this printer is worth buying and has many extra features and is really handy being wireless. Just to add, the printer does come with colour...

Lexmark For Your Home Office

Advantages: Size and Compact Device that does pretty much
Disadvantages: Toner Prices and Price Per Page

...and prices, the running cost for color pages comes out to be 11p and 3p for mono. Both these figures aren't really good! Overall Lexmark's X500n is an all in one device which is price reasonably. It produced decent quality text at a decent speed. Its biggest drawbacks are its complicated consumables and high page running cost. There is also no multi purpose feed! All this may limit its popularity. This device is perfect for small offices where too much prints are not required on a regular basis. Buying Lexmark's X500n isn't such a good idea when you work mostly involves printing graphics. Due to complicated and too many consumables, this isn't good for large amount of work too!...
