Lexmark X3350 Ink Cartridges

Lexmark X3350 Printer Review

The Lexmark X3350 is a color photo multifunction printer designed for the home user. It has good photo printing quality and excellent photo features, but Lexmark X3350 ink costs are high, and text quality suffers a bit. Print speed is solid, at up to 22 pages per minute for black and 15 pages per minute for color, but high quality settings will be much slower. The Lexmark X3350 has a compact frame that will appeal to buyers with tight spaces, but it manages to fit a lot of functionality into a small package. It measures 16 inches by 20 inches by 9 inches, and weighs 12.5 pounds. While not the smallest unit in its class, it is not particularly bulky. The machine uses a single black Lexmark X3350 inkjet cartridge and a combined color Lexmark X3350 ink cartridge. The combined cartridge is more convenient than individual cartridges, but less economical, as it can lead to wasted ink if users use a lot of one color. High-capacity cartridges are available for a lower cost per page. The Lexmark X3350 can print, copy, and scan. It includes a PictBridge-enabled USB port for connecting digital cameras directly to the printer. Unfortunately, the LCD screen is not color, as with similar models, so it is not possible to preview or edit photos from the printer directly. This will likely not be a problem for the majority of users, but heavy photo users may miss the convenience. In their review of the Lexmark X3350, Cnet liked its budget price and PictBridge port. They also found its included software helpful, and liked its standalone copy feature. They disliked its large footprint, and found text quality to be blurry. They also pointed out its lack of memory card slots. Overall, the Lexmark X3350 is a very good multifunction device which will appeal to digital photo users. Its print speed and quality are good, but higher-than-average ink costs could get expensive.
