Lexmark z22-The perfect package, low cost printer

Advantages: Low cost, good for package deal
Disadvantages: Ink cartridges very expensive

...I bought the lexmark z22 4 years ago as part of the package with my pc. I have since been very pleased with it and although it is not the highest quality printer or the fastest it is very "family friendly". I mean by this sturdy and has lasted ages without any faults or malfunctions. **Installability** Very easy to follow manual and was installed in about 5 minutes. It was ready to go straight away and the on screen installer was very straight forward aswell. **Speed** I believe this is the only downside to the printer. If you decide to print a picture with lots of colour in it takes a while. Although the finished product is always at a very high standard. Also i have not once experienced the paper getting stuck (which was the downfall of my last printer). **Cartridges** These along with the speed is the only downfall. These...

Review of Lexmark Z22

leXmarks the Spot

Advantages: Represents real value for money. Good resolution (up to 1200dpi)Colour & mono printing. Good support and manual
Disadvantages: None

...If you are looking for a real Value For Money printer, then you cannot go wrong with this offering from Lexmark. The Z22 Colour JetPrinter is an inexpensive, yet feature packed printer. I picked mine up in the USA for just $49.99, that's around £36 in English money. Having just moved out to the USA and money being a bit tight at first, this printer offered me just what I needed, excellent quality at an affordable price. This is certainly the cheapest printer I have seen but that does not mean it is lacking in quality. This is one case where the saying "You get what you Paid for" does not apply. Weighing in at a respectable 8lb, stone in colour and compact in size, this is a very aesthetically pleasing printer. Photographs print beautifully and if printed on photo paper, you arehard pressed to tell the difference between...

Review of Lexmark Z22

Cheap and Nasty

Advantages: cheaply priced
Disadvantages: not very long lasting

...they just didn't want to know . They knew the printer was dead and not economically repairable but would not admit it to me . I got this confirmed from 2 local computer experts , one of whom laughed out loud when I said it was a Lexmark !! ( Very reassuring ! ) The attitude of the company is disgusting and 2 years for a printer that I didn't use more than twice a week is not very long . Although I am aware printers are not necessarily that long lived !! I would never buy another Lexmark at all . The cartridge prices at nearly £28 for originals are a very expensive , when compared to rival manufacturers such as Epson , Cannon etc . The lesson here is quality comes a price and the Lexmzrk Z22 just is not reliable ....

Review of Lexmark Z22

Great Printer for the Money

Advantages: Compact, Quick and good quality
Disadvantages: none

...Printers come in many different shapes and sizes but fundamentally all do the same job. I have the Lexmark Z22 and have found it to be a useful and efficient providing good quality printouts relatively quickly. The printer is quite compact and well designed. The paper feed tray fold down so that when it is not in use it uses less space and clutter. Likewise the tray to catch the printouts is extendable allowing it fit into the main printer section also leaving more room. Changing the cartridge is very easy as when the front section of the printer is lifted it slides to the centre allowing the old one to be taken out before a new one is clicked in. It is compatible with Windows and Mac platform machines and is very simple to install. It comes with a CD that will launch when placed in the CD tray and then it will offer on screen...

Review of Lexmark Z22

Lexmark must be making a huge profit!!!

Advantages: Available at a wide range of outlets
Disadvantages: Relatively expensive

...seriously, Z16's retail at a rrp of £23.71 each. Cheaper deals are available (e.g. via http://www. cartridgepeople at £41.98 for two, inclusive of delivery). I usually buy at my local Tesco, paying anything from £18 to £22. **** Installation? **** On my Z605 and Z35 - very easy. Lexmark help by coding black cartrides with dark green tops and colour ones with light green. It's just a case of "clicking out" the exhausted cartridge and popping in the new one. The software does the rest. With Lexmark software you have to click on "is it a new cartidge/ has it been used before?" . This has never posed me problems. **** How do they perform? *** Well the print quality is excellent. Good definition (I use it mostly for straightforward text). The ink dries quickly, meaning that pages can be handled as soon as they are ejected...

Review of Lexmark Cartridge No. 16 - print cartridge (10N0016)

Nice price nice printer

Advantages: Low cost easy to install
Disadvantages: can not refill ink tanks

...I purchased a new computer and printer for my parents, and chose the Lexmark Z22, mainly due to its price. My parents do not use the printer very much, so cost and ease of use were the main factors required. The cost through PC World was £49.99, and it came with a colour cartridge. For an inkjet printer it prints very high quality colour, black or photograph copies. It prints about 8ppm black and about 4ppm colour, which is brilliant for a small inkjet. The cartridges can be expensive at about £22-£25 and the ink tanks cannot be refilled, but for anyone with a low printing use, it does not work out expensive. It can be connected by USB or parrallel, and is installed very easily and quickly. When I installed mine the colour cartridge would not work so I contacted Lexmark via their website, and they sent me a replacment...

Review of Lexmark Z22

The Cheap and cheerful ish Cartridge!

Advantages: Cheap, colour print is good, easy to insert
Disadvantages: Black comes out green! Runs out quickly VERY Quickly!

...Hello and welcome to this review! My gosh those trial cartridges that come with your printer sure do run out quickly! These cartridges are greatly priced, much cheaper than other brands such as HP! However, there is one problem I have come accross when using the Lexmark 1 Cartridge. That being - When black is printed, it doesn't quite come out black! Its more of a green colour. I understand this is because colours are mixed inside the cartridge to make black but the best colour they can make must be green:( I thought it may have been my printer however I bought a second and its exactly the same! I would definately say for the price of this printer and cartridge range It is good for people doing everyday printing, however if you are printing invoices etc and require that crisp look Im afraid you will not get it...

Review of Palm Z22

Is the ink running out for this printer's age?

Advantages: Excellent Quality
Disadvantages: Time it takes to print

...this printer the Lexmark Z22 is cheap and cheerful, the quailty is excellent, the storage space isn't alot., the colour quality is great, -------First Glance---------------------- my first glance was un-sure if this printer was up to the standard i was looking for, i thought it would be a printer, which would blur out some of the images, but it didnt and i was like 'yes great stuff lets get printing' --------Is it quality?------------------------ it is quality, prints out are excellent, but they do take some time to print out depending on the choice of colours, and how many different colours are used at once, the cartridges last along time,ive used at least 2 packs if a4 paper in at least 3 days and its still going, and although you may be thinking, isnt that due to the cartridge? well yes i know that is true, but i believe...

Review of Lexmark Z22

Brilliant printer!

Advantages: Speedy, good quality, great value!
Disadvantages: Cartridge cost, can't refill, awkward shape

...The Lexmark Z22 is a very cheap inkjet printer (about £50) which is well worth buying. Good print quality combined with a decent set of features makes it a very desirable printer. Installing the printer is easy. If you use XP, the generic driver is good enough, otherwise install the driver on the CD. After that's done, it's just about ready to use! Ink cartridge installation is also easy, with the cartridges just "snapping" into place. I find this very useful. Here are some of the main features: Black and colour printing, portrait or landscape, and three print qualities. The shape is a bit awkward, and it needs quite a big space, but other than that and the ink cartridges, I have no complaints with this printer, especially for £50!...
