| tjash2010's Full Review: Lexmark X5150 All-In-One InkJet Printer |
I was looking on the internet for a good deal on a printer for a family member since I am the tech genious and all my family and friends turn to me for advice and help and such. Anyways I found a good deal on www.ebay.com. The guy I bought from was a really big seller and still sells printers and all-in-ones now and goes by the name: e-Legend
I love this all-in-one the buttons on top for doing most of the stuff without turning your computer on. They are very very useful and I love them.
I love having an all in one its much more efficient then having a copy machine, scanner, Printer and faxer all seperate. I cant really use the scanner because my computer isnt by a phone jack but its good to know its there in the future. Below is how each funtion proforms:
Printer: The printing is very fast exspecially in Black. It spits all my documents out in no time and all and there is hardly any time between when you say "Print" on your computer to when the document starts printing unlike some other printers that take liek forever.
Scanner: In my opinion from what I have scanned so far my documents scan clear and easily redable or identical to the original and the settings for scanning are really easy to find and adjust to. There are buttons on the top to easily scan without going through hoops to find the scan button on your computer.
Warming up the scanner/copier takes about 45 seconds which defiently isnt fun to wait for expecially when you need a document FAST but other then that everything is fine.
Copier: The copier is really nice considering it is so quick. It is much more time saving compared to scanning the document onto the computer and printing it. For a black and white document to copy and print if the printer is warmed up is about 10 seconds.
Faxer: I havent used the faxer becuase there is no phone jack near my computer but it is good to know that you have a faxer incase you need it. From how this printer has preformed so far I would say it would fax documents pretty good. The only down is that you have to use the computer software to send a fax it isnt really a traditonal faxer.
This all-in-one is a very fast one it hard takes any time todo anything on it compared to my Cannon hooked up to my other computer. it takes one minute alone for the computer to process and send the document to the printer but with this printer its way way less then that.
The only down to this printer is the expensive ink. It takes 1 black and 1 Color cartridge. It you were to go to bestbuy the black would be 29.99 and the color coming at at 5.00 more at 34.99. Even from a discount ink site the ink cartridges are about 20 dollars each plus shipping. Canon cartridges are much cheaper.
Besides the expensive ink this all-in-one is a charm to have and I love it.
