Lexmark X3430 Printer Review

Though this inkjet printer is no longer in production, the Lexmark X3430 still has a number of the modern features that small and home offices are looking for. It is compact, affordable, simple to set up and operate, and versatile. In fact, the X3430 can perform three functions in black-and-white or color: copying, scanning, and printing.

Designed to handle the printing of up to 1,000 pages each month, this unit is ideal for low-volume businesses or homes. It has a rectangular shape and sleek, white frame that measures 6x14.8x12.4 inches. With only one Lexmark X3430 ink cartridge required for operation, the machine weighs just 9 pounds. Any small desk or table should be able to hold it comfortably.

Only three colors of Lexmark X3430 are used in this machine, cyan, magenta, and yellow, which will combine to make black amongst an array of other colors. Having only a single Lexmark X3430 ink cartridge to replace will minimize operational costs, but each one only yields 185 pages. Users that print frequently may be replacing the printer ink often. Fortunately, some third-party vendors offer remanufactured versions of the Lexmark X3430 ink at a lower price than the OEM versions.

Compatible with Windows operating systems only, the X3430 can be connected via USB 2.0 interface, or images can be loaded directly from a digital camera through the PictBridge port or from memory cards through the open card-reading slots on the front of the unit. Ethernet and wireless are optional upgrades. The basic control panel has a few buttons and a 1-line LCD for accessing settings and changing functions.

Up to 17 pages per minute can be printed, while as many as 12 copies can be made in a minute. The scanner is a flatbed surface and offers a 48-bit color depth, perfect for restoring old photographs at an interpolated resolution of 19200x19200 dpi. The maximum resolution for printed pages is 1200x1200 dpi for black-and-white and 4800x1200 dpi for color. Various media types can be printed on, including labels, transparencies, and photo paper.

This device is versatile and affordable, with remanufactured Lexmark X3430 printer ink keeping operational costs to a minimum. A one-stop shop for most daily tasks in the office, this inkjet machine is worth every penny and an invaluable asset to small businesses.
