Lexmark P6250 Ink Cartridges

Lexmark P6250 Printer Review

The Lexmark P6250 multifunction printer is designed for the home or small office user. Its fresh, bold colors will appeal to users with a modern sensibility, and its compact size makes it a great choice for college dorm rooms or tight office spaces. Print speed is impressive for the price, at 22 pages per minute for black and 15 pages per minute for color. Lexmark P6250 ink costs are higher than competing models, adding to the cost of ownership.

The Lexmark P6250 sports a very compact design that becomes even more compact when not in use. Its vertical input paper tray can fold down over the main unit, and its front output tray can slide back in, giving it a very compact footprint that measures only 7 inches by 17.1 inches by 13.1 inches. The unit only weighs 10.6 inches. This makes it perfect for users who wish to put the printer away when not in use, as it could even sit on a shelf. The machine comes with a color Lexmark P6250 inkjet cartridge, but users planning to print a lot of black text will want to purchase the optional black Lexmark P6250 ink cartridge, as it provides deeper blacks and more economical black printing.

The machine has printing, scanning, and copying functions. It can not fax over a phone line, but the included software lets users easily send internet faxes, which is a very convenient compromise. There are memory card slots included for digital camera users, and the LCD panel can give a preview of photos before printing.

In a review of the Lexmark P6250 inkjet, Cnet gave it a rating of 3 out of 5 stars. They liked its compact and stylish design, as well as its ease of use. They disliked its slow printing speeds and high ink costs.

Overall, the Lexmark P6250 is a good choice for low-volume printing needs and tight spaces. Print speeds are a bit slow, and high ink costs could get expensive in the long run.
