The Lexmark X4650: Keeping Printing, Copying and Scanning Simple
The Lexmark X4650 is a serious-looking, all-in-one laser printer that will meet the print, scan and copy needs of the home user and student – without burning a hole in your wallet.
The X4650 does not boast a particular specialty, however its balance of features, performance and usability make it a reliable all-in-one choice. With the X4650, be particularly on the lookout for the:
- Wireless capabilities, which give you premium flexibility in who uses the Lexmark X4650 and when it can be used (not to mention no messy wires).
- USB port – connect straight into your PC.
- Excellent text printing speed.
- Ease of set up, the supplied tutorial CD giving it a head-start on the majority of multifunctions on the market.
If you are a photo fanatic, however, the X4650 may disappoint compared to some of the other MFC’s on the market. Though, in this price-range, the no-nonsense approach of the X4650 laserjet colour printer will please the majority.
Lexmark X4650 Printing
Focused particularly on the home-user and student working within a budget, the text printing speed of the X4650 model will impress those looking to churn out the pages – assignments, letters and presentations will be conquered easily by this inkjet model.
In draft mode (which is a particularly high draft quality), the X4650 ejects a satisfying 12 pages per minute; with normal mode bringing the rate down to 8 ppm – competitive and more than adequate for home and occupation needs.
In terms of colour photo printing, however, the X4650 falls somewhat short of the mark, managing regular 4×6-inch photo printing at over 10 seconds a pop. And the quality, even with a dedicated cartridge, is below par.
The X4650 model uses a black and a tri-colour cartridge, with the option of fitting a photo cartridge instead of the black for six-ink photos.
Lexmark X4650 Price
Pricing is where this multifunction laser printer comes into its own. Circulating at around $100-$160, you will appreciate having all your primary printing, scanning and copying needs covered with minimal fuss in the build-up.
