Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The Lexmark Z65P is a high performance color inkjet printer with a built-in memory card reader at an affordable price.

A support tray extends to hold printed sheets, and twin paper trays hold blank sheets. This is useful for having photo paper in one tray and standard paper in the other. Buttons on the front of the printer let you easily switch between the two trays. To the right of the printer is a memory card reader that supports uploads and downloads for Multimedia cards, SD cards, Smart Media cards, Memory Stick, plus CompactFlash type I and II and IBM Microdrives.

The printer is easy to set up and install and comes with a clear and detailed manual that guides you through the process. It connects via your USB port. There are two ink cartridges supplied (one black and one for the other three printing colors--cyan, magenta, and yellow), and these are easy to clip into place. The card reader appears as an additional drive in the Windows desktop. The printer has an advanced software driver that helps you maximize its capabilities. You can use the driver to easily choose different quality settings and paper types.

The Z65P offers 4,800 x 1,200 dpi resolution and quotes speeds of up to 21 ppm for mono, and 15 ppm for color prints. The speeds are ambitious even when referring to draft quality as they do. However, text output is prompt for an inkjet and when you crank up the quality settings, you get crisp output with solid blacks. Color printing, which for most people means photos, can be a more time-consuming affair. However, after experimenting with the settings you can get excellent results if using good quality photo paper. --Jason Weston, Amazon.co.uk
