Lexmark X8350 Color All-in-One Plus Photo Features with USB Cable

I purchased this printer at Circuit City two weeks and couldn't be more pleased with it. Installation went very somoothly, and I disabled my anti-virus program as recommended in the instructions. Set up was easy, and I was up and running in about 15 minutes. The printer controls are very intuitive, and my wife had no trouble doing her first scan for a craft project. The copy feature is especially handy, and I was able to make very acceptable copies of some insurance forms. We sent a test fax and it went through very easily. Ink was easy to install, and I am satisifed with the color and clarity of the print. Print speed is good. I plan to try the photo cartridge at a later date.
The most impressive feature of this printer is how well it is built. I compared the x8350 to several HP and Canon models, and was most impressed with the Lexmark quality; e.g. the paper tray is rock solid compared to the two other brands. This is a great all-in-one printer for the money. (the model I...Read more

This printer is incredible! Before I had a crap HP printer that was 10 years old and so this Lexmark is amazing! The LCD screen makes life so much easier and you can do so much at such a small effort.

The printer is very smart and I mean SMART. It knows if a telephone call is a fax or just a regular call, the printer knows automatically which place to copy from with its sensors because there are 2 places to put things you want to copy (inside the lid of the printer for single copies or on top of the printer for multiple copies at once), and the printer also knows what kind of paper(letter,photo,index card, ect.) you put in it without you even specifying. I could go on forever about how smart the printer is...

Now, to get to the actual print quality. The printer comes with 3 Premium Photo Paper samples for you to test how a photo looks when you print on it. I'll tell ya, it looks just as good as developed pictures from a store do(maybe even better). You can...Read more

Excellent value on Amazon.....This replaced an HP that was also an all in one, but it is loaded with many more features and is a much better price.
Only one drawback to the lower value all in one machines is that they all (the HP was about the same) make noise....sort of strange and a bit loud, when loading paper while printing, copying etc. It is bearable and I do tend to get used to it (expect it).
One other thing is that HP makes their cartridge sensors very picky....so you may or may not be able to get by with generics. With the Lexmark....no such luck, as they have chips in the cartridges that reset for low and critically low ink that the refurbishers do not know how to or otherwise cannot reset. I bought some of these at other places and some off Amazon.....they are annoying as they bring up a warning of low or critically low ink that has to be reset. Well, with high yield cartridges...and single print pages it would have to be reset (on the control panel) 400...Read more
