1.0 out of 5 stars
No black ink!!??,
By
This review is from: Lexmark Z735 Color Inkjet Printer (Office Product)
This printer has one cartridge; not a black one, but a color one. If you want to print black, it squirts all 3 colors. Spend a few bucks more upfront to save from getting ripped off month-after-month in ink.According to my web searches, the cartridge has a total of 21 mL (milliliters) of cyan, magenta, and yellow ink. If your printer doesn't have a separate black cartridge, this will be equivalent to a 7 mL black cartridge, since it squirts all three colors at once. For an example, the HP #56 has 19 mL of black for around $20. By the time you buy 3 Lexmark cartridges for a total of $60, you could have saved almost $40 by owning a more expensive HP, assuming they squirt proportionally. Don't get me wrong, if you print 10 pages per month, it might be ok, but if you print any small volume, you will be gouged.

Single Cartridge = fewer hassles,

This review is from: Lexmark Z735 Color Inkjet Printer (Office Product)
For people who don't print that often, or if you just need an extra printer, this is a great deal. As stated by other reviewers, the output isn't amazing, but it's fine for home-office use. This is very much a "you get what you pay for" sort of printer - no frills, no extras. In some ways, that's an enormous plus, it's simple to operate, and just as easy to own.Contrary to Brian Morris' rather useless comment (it's clear he doesn't own the printer), the single-cartridge system is actually very handy. You don't need to worry about the ink levels in two cartridges, and replacements are fairly cheap, at less than $20/ cartridge in most stores. Plus, the replacement cartridge is "Lexmark Cartridge No. 1" so much easier to remember when walking into an office-supply store than the jumble of letters and numbers used by other makers. Yes, I agree a dual-cartridge system can be more efficient, but it also makes everything twice as complicated, and simplicity is what matters here. My 85 year old grandparents are 100% satisfied and comfortable using this printer. I think that says volumes. In short - if you do a lot of printing look elsewhere this is not the model for you. Ditto if you want outstanding image quality, or are printing a lot of photos. But then... it's $35. So what would you expect? However, if you're using your printer fairly infrequently, and aren't too picky about image quality, this is perfect. It's also a great choice as a backup, or for young kids. Just be sure to buy a spare cartridge, the one supplied with the printer is only 30-40% full from the factory. It'll run out fairly quickly. Also - you'll need to supply your own USB cable.

Well-designed and Well-built,

My five star rating takes the very low price into account. The software is intelligent and user friendly; audio output supplements what you see on screen. When you turn the computer off the printer turns off as well making the cartridge last longer. Set-up and software installation is easy. Output while not top photo quality is quite acceptable for a utility home printer. The single cartridge is economical also.
