Lexmark X4250 Ink Cartridges

Lexmark X4250 Printer Review

The Lexmark X4250 is a multifunction inkjet printer created for home and small office usage. It includes many well-designed functions for a low price, but print quality may be a bit lacking. Print speeds are decent at up to 19 pages per minute for black and 10 pages per minute for color, though higher-quality settings will be slower. The high cost of Lexmark X4250 ink reduces its value.

For an all-in-one machine, it is compact, measuring just 7.3x18.3x11.7 inches and weighing only 8.52 pounds. It is easy to move around by a single person when necessary. A wide range of media types are supported, including envelopes, transparencies, greeting cards, photo paper and other common types. One downside of the Lexmark X4250 is the high cost of printer ink. The unit includes two Lexmark X4250 ink cartridges: one black and one color. Photo users will want to purchase an additional cartridge for the best production. With so many Lexmark X4250 ink cartridges to replace and purchase, it soon becomes an expensive printing solution.

The Lexmark X4250 can print, scan, copy and fax, and it is designed to handle nearly any office task. Its faxing speeds are very fast, at up to 33.6 kbps, and it can slow down transmission speeds to accommodate slower machines. With only an automatic document feeder for scanning, copying and faxing, users are limited to documents that can be fed through. A flatbed scanner would give more options, but potential buyers should decide for themselves whether this is an issue.

In a review of the inkjet printer, PC Pro liked the number of features included for the price. They found its operating costs to be high, due to expensive Lexmark X4250 ink and thought that its speed and quality were both lackluster.

Overall, it may be a good choice for a single user who has limited space, but others may want a machine with less printer ink consumption, better quality and faster speeds.
