Lexmark X6650 Ink Cartridges

Lexmark X6650 Printer Review

The Lexmark X6650 is a multifunction inkjet printer designed with homes or small offices in mind. It includes wireless printing capabilities and a number of photo features, as well as some nice business features for getting work done. Print speeds are fast, at up to 25 pages per minute for black and 18 pages per minute for color, though actual speeds will be slower. Lexmark X6650 ink costs are reasonable, though a little higher than competing models.

This model seems to be geared toward both work and play. It has a number of excellent photo settings, such as a PictBridge port for connecting digital cameras and memory card slots for connecting memory cards. It also has a few business-minded features, such as its automatic document feeder (ADF), which can feed up to 25 pages quickly and easily for scanning, copying or faxing. Also included is a full-featured fax function with transmission speeds up to 33.6 kbps.

While the cost of X6650 Lexmark ink cartridges is not much more expensive on a cost per page basis than most competing models, heavy users might save money by choosing a model with a higher upfront price but lower operating costs. The black Lexmark X6650 ink cartridge has a capacity of 175 pages, while the color cartridge has a capacity of 135 pages. Since printer ink is a major expense for any model, it is worth comparing printer ink costs when considering a purchase.

PrinterComparison.com gave a thorough review of the Lexmark X6650 inkjet unit and found it easy to set up and easy to use. They also liked its wireless connectivity and memory card readers. They found its LCD screen too small to use for many functions, however, and direct printing from PictBridge to be difficult.

Overall, home users who want good photo features along with a fax and ADF will find a lot to like. Users who do a lot of printing may not like the Lexmark X6650 ink costs.
