Lexmark X3650 Ink Cartridges

Lexmark X3650 Printer Review

The Lexmark X3650 is a multifunction inkjet printer aimed at home users. It has fast print speeds, at 25 pages per minute for black and 18 pages per minute for color. Its compact size and affordable price are impressive, but Lexmark X3650 ink cartridges tend to have a high cost per page.

Buyers who want a printer, scanner and copier in a compact and affordable machine will be impressed with its low price. The unit is also very easy to set up and to operate, making it a good choice for beginners. Making copies is simple, as the unit has 1-touch buttons for black and color copies. In fact, it can function as a standalone copy machine without the need for a computer connection. Simply plug it in and load a page on its flatbed scanning surface, and you are ready to copy.

While the upfront cost is important, printer ink costs are even more important. Unfortunately, Lexmark X3650 ink is more expensive than its competition, which is its main drawback. Further, Lexmark X3650 ink cartridges tend to have smaller capacities than competing models, meaning they need replacing more often, giving the unit a higher cost per page. Since printer ink is an ongoing cost for any model, this is a serious downside.

In their review of the Lexmark X3650, LaptopMag.com gave it a rating of 3 out of 5 stars. They liked its compact design and one-touch copy features. They did find it noisy to operate and wished for an LCD screen for more visual feedback.

Overall, home users who don't want to spend much for a multifunction inkjet may be drawn to the Lexmark X3650 because of its low price. It is worth considering, however, the high cost of Lexmark X3650 ink will likely make it more expensive than competing models in the long run.
