Lexmark X2470 Color All-in-One Inkjet Printer

 (18 customer reviews)

The print quality of this printer STINKS, simple as that. Just to print a simple manuscript in black ink, the black ink is not black enough. It made my professional manuscript have a fuzzy-gray character to it. When I want to print in bold letters, it is hard to tell the bold print with regular print because the black print option is not black enough. Again my bold print look like a fuzzy-gray as if a person who lost his reading glasses. That is how fuzzy the print quality is on this printer. When I print in color the color contrast is TERRIBLE. I tested this printer on a picture I downloaded from the internet. The print was nothing...nothing like the color internet picture. It had very poor color contrast and the picture I printed did not even look like what was on the internet. Overall this printer is of poor quality and poor printing quality absolutely.

You know, I had an old Lexmark Z-32 printer. Man that was a very good printer because it had excellent print quality...Read more

These clowns who gave it one star rating and etc. have no clue about anything at all. First of all, not all printers bring a USB cable so not sure why all these people are whining for. Also, these people are expecting a 55 dollar printer to be the best which it isn't at all. The price is cheap and when you buy cheap stuff, it sometimes isn't all that great. If you want a great printer, then go drop over 100 or 200 bucks on one.

This printer is decent and works well. For 55 dollars, it was worth it. Ink isn't that expensive if your willing to buy the 2 in one pack for 35 dollars over at Staples. Other than that, this printer does not bring a USB cable so buy one if you're going to buy this printer. If you're someone who just wants to print documents and is a light user, go and get this printer. If you're more of a business person and uses a printer a lot, avoid this and get something more expensive.

What do you expect for an "all in one" unit for about $55? You get what you pay for. That being said, it does NOT print good enough for business use. It does print good enough for school reports, shopping lists, code print outs if you are into web design, receipts from paying bills online, and other basic utility work.

The scanner works decent as well, again, for BASIC home utility work, not for business. The ink cartridge is a ONE unit model for about $20, and gives about 50-90 pages of decent printing depending on quality settings in software. Again, decent for an "all in one unit" that you just want for BASIC needs at home.

There are other features with this unit such as FAX and copier, I haven't used the FAX but have used the copier mode, and was satisfied. I am pleased with the unit for the price, relative to my needs! :)
