Lexmark E 330 Printer Review

Advantages: fast, durable, value-for-money, toner and photoconductor are separated
Disadvantages: black and white, not fully automatic print on both pages

...Introduction Lexmark E 330, a workgroup monochrome laser printer, is my main printer at my workplace. With the size of around one foot in all dimensions (Width: 39.6 cm X Depth: 35.3 cm X Height: 24.9 cm), the printer can be placed almost everywhere in the office; on a tables, cupboards, shelves, or else. It is a network printer which surpassed 40,000 pages right now, so, I have many things to review about!! Installation and Setup On the very first day if my use, I've used it as my personal printer. The driver for Lexmark E 330 is included in the package which I found it can easily be installed. You can plug it in USB or parallel port as you like. After that, the printer had to be installed in the network which was beyond my responsibility. The IT staff was there to set it up. I watched them and realised that, it was...

Review of Lexmark E 330

It really works it's life!!!

Advantages: Very long working life
Disadvantages: Installation might be a pain in the neck!

...own protection I strongly suggest you to avoid installing MarkVision (the Lexmark printing control panel facility) which was especially made by Lexmark to drive you nuts! However, after you are done with installation, you will start working with one of the most heavy duty printers ever! Lexmark recommends to print on paper stock of up to 180 gsm, while I have printed - with a little pushing - paper stock of up to 300 gsm with no problems. If you are a graphic designer, you will find Optra E+ (with PS2 enhancement) ideal for printing in-house newsletters and other mass mailing documents (brochures, flyers etc.). The Optra E+ prints at 15 (heavy graphics + pictures) to 30 (text + simple line art graphics) pages / min. Print quality is great for text and line art graphics while images are fine printed under PCL5 emulation...

Lexmark E120N - Networked Laser Printer

Advantages: Built-in network print server, fast printing, fairly low cost, support for Linux
Disadvantages: Non-trivial, but not impossible, network installation under Windows XP

...for this printer. When I spoke to them, they didn't think they could, but they may be able to in the future. This was at first a major problem for me, as Lexmark consumables are notoriously expensive. However, after reading up on it a bit, I find that Lexmark offer a 'Returns Program' toner, which is priced at a reasonable level, with the condition that the toner be sent back to them after use, presumably to compete with the likes of Cartridge World. As I have mentioned, the main requirement for me was that the printer supported Linux, and this one does. It also supports: - Windows 98SE,ME,2000,XP,XP64,Server 2003 - Mac OS 9,10.2,10.3,10.4 - Linux (as mentioned) The system requirements vary between systems, but are not unreasonable. The final requirement for me was that the printer support easy networking. This printer does indeed...

Review of Lexmark E 120n

A big but useful office printer

Advantages: Quick, efficient and reliable
Disadvantages: Expensive toners

...Lexmark may not be as well know as Hewlett Packard in the office world for their printers but I cannot see why not. I have been working with these units for sometime now and they beat the competition hands down. Why? Well, many reasons but first, let me describe one to you. The Lexmark Optra T610 Laser Printer is not something you are going to have at home. The main reasons being the sheer size of the things and the cost of buying one. However it is a powerful, high performance Printer which is both quiet and quick to print. It can handle you document management requirements much better than many of its competitiors and at a fairly reasonable business cost. They are both compatible and upgradable to keep up with the modern business environment which is constantly evolving. No more changing your printer every couple of years. These...

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...

Review of Lexmark X4650

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 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...
