Lexmark X4200 Ink Cartridges

Lexmark X4200 Printer Review

Do you find that faxing is still a large part of your home or small office workflow? The Lexmark X4200 may just be the solution. It is an all-in-one inkjet that can scan, print, and copy, but much of the emphasis is on excellent faxing features, and it even includes a telephone handset, which is becoming increasingly rare for machines aimed at the small office. It has a control panel that will be familiar to those coming from a larger multifunction machine, and it is very easy to use.

One of the more complicated aspects of setting up the X4200 involves connecting the phone line, as users can connect it a few different ways depending on whether they wish to use it as a phone, connect a separate phone, or even connect an answering machine. The manual does a good job of describing these different setups, however, and it is nice to see this much flexibility in an inkjet, even if it does mean a bit more complexity.

The X4200 has too many features to cover completely, but one of the highlights is in its printing features. Users can print more than one page on a single sheet, which is great for archiving documents while saving paper. Another highlight is the efficient printer ink system, which makes replacing Lexmark X4200 ink very simple.

Speaking of printer ink, the cost of Lexmark X4200 ink cartridges are a bit high, especially given a fairly small page yield for color Lexmark X4200 ink. A possible solution to this problem are compatible Lexmark X4200 ink cartridges, however, which are much more affordable than their OEM counterparts.

The main target market for the Lexmark X4200 is buyers who want a more fax-centric design than the average all-in-one. The flexible setup options and great feature set allow it to fit into almost any small office environment with ease.
