5.0 out of 5 stars NO Problem Getting Replacement Cartridges for the Z22 - Fast, August 7, 2001

This review is from: Lexmark Z22 Color Jetprinter (17F0070) (Office Product)

Having read all the reviews on the Z22, I felt the need to add a few positive comments: My operating system is Windows ME and there was NO problem whatsoever in installing the Z22 (I also have a scanner hooked in between: the scanner, NOT the Z22 gives me an occasional problem). This light-weight printer is small enough to fit anywhere (I was pressed for space!), has never had a paper jam (bought it in Sept.2000) and prints clear and concise -- both in color and in black & white on just about any paper. One reviewer comments that it is hard to get replacement cartridges: NOT SO! If you don't want to wait for someone to ship... In addition, I have purchased a "Universal Inkjet Refill Kit" and it works like a charm! Have refilled my black cartridge about 5 times by now and the color one about 2 times. The Refill Kits are a great alternative and that way, you alwayshave ink handy if you run out of ink at 3 o'clock in the morning... I'd recommend this printer to anyone who needs a basic reliable printer for general every day use and who isn't into any specialty printing, even though the Z22 does a good job on photos etc. as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for the price, August 27, 2000

The installation was quite easy and well laid out in the instructions. The print speed is rather slow, but the quality (especially on the High Quality setting) is fine for most users.

I've had this running for just a couple of weeks, but so far I'm extremely pleased with the deal I got. Installation was absolutely brainless, and the printer is half the size of my old one--it hardly takes up any desk space at all. Printing is fairly quiet, and monochrome printing is as fast as I could possibly ever need. The color-coded ink cartridges are a nice touch--it's impossible to get them mixed up. I've used several different kinds of paper and have yet to have a single paper jam. The colors look good, and dry surprisingly quickly, but the cartridge is small enough that I'm already on my second color cartridge after printing 35 brochures; in the long run, folks who use a lot of color printing on a regular basis may find that it's cheaper to spend a few more dollars on the printer in order to use a larger, more efficient ink cartridge. Color printing is also on the slow side--mine was averaging just 2 pages per minute. In general, I'm extremely pleased with the printer and have recommended it to a few folks. For standard home printing, it's a great deal.
