Lexmark X2470 Ink Cartridges

Lexmark X2470 Printer Review

The Lexmark X2470 is a multifunction inkjet printer designed for the home or small office environment. It offers excellent printing, scanning and copying capabilities in a compact package. Print speed is fast, at up to 17 pages per minute for both black and color prints, and reasonable Lexmark X2470 ink costs make it affordable in the long run.

Users looking for a compact machine with a lot of functionality should be impressed with this model. Even with its many features, it measures only 6 inches by 14.8 inches by 11.3 inches and is very lightweight at only 10.7 pounds. This allows it to fit into the tight spaces of a home office very easily, and it can be moved around and stored if needed. The unit has a flatbed scanner for copying and scanning functions, but some users might miss having an automatic document feeder for faster scanning. Copying speed is up to 12 copies per minute, for very fast operation.

Lexmark X2470 ink cartridges are not the least expensive for an inkjet unit in its class, but they are reasonably-priced. The color printer ink cartridge included with the machine is capable of printing both color and composite black, but most buyers will want to add a dedicated black Lexmark X2470 ink cartridge for more economical printing. Using the color printer ink for composite black is a very expensive method.

In their review of the Lexmark X2470, TrustedReviews.com praised its low price and excellent black print quality. They also liked its PictBridge port, which allows users to connect many digital cameras directly. They found its print speeds to be a bit slow, especially in comparison to earlier models.

Overall, home and small office users will like the Lexmark X2470's combination of great features, low price and compact size. The low price of Lexmark X2470 ink also makes it an economical choice in the long run.
