Lexmark P700 Ink Cartridges

Lexmark P700 Printer Review

Are you tired of making endless trips to a photo lab for prints? Do you wish you could make your own high-quality photos at home for less? The Lexmark P700 is a color inkjet designed to create excellent photos without much of the hassle and complications of competing models. Despite its sharp output quality, printer ink replacement is simple, with only two types of Lexmark P700 ink.

The construction of the P700 is typical of most budget-minded models. It is made of fairly sturdy plastic, and is reasonably solid, though it probably won't stand up to much abuse. The output tray is located in the front, and is retractable, saving space. The input tray sticks out from the top at the rear of the machine, which makes it somewhat prone to damage, but it can also be retracted for storage, though this does require emptying the paper supply.

The main tradeoff for the P700 involves the printer ink. Unlike some photo inkjet models, it uses only two Lexmark P700 ink cartridges: one for black and one for color. This simplifies the process of purchasing and replacing Lexmark P700 ink greatly, but it means that wasted ink may be a problem, as users may need to replace the color Lexmark P700 ink cartridges before each tank is totally empty.

Still, the photo quality is quite good, especially when keeping the impressively low price of the machine in mind. It makes it a very good tradeoff between simplicity, price, and functionality.

The Lexmark P700 is a model firmly aimed at the price-conscious photo enthusiast. It makes producing great photos at home a simple reality. The savings over a typical photo lab may not be much, but the added convenience will be more than worth it for buyers who find themselves making frequent trips.
