Lexmark X5075 Ink Cartridges

Lexmark X5075 Printer Review

The Lexmark X5075 is an inkjet printer designed for the home or small office user's multipurposes. It has a well-rounded feature set and includes XL Lexmark X5075 ink cartridges, for more economical printing. Print speed is fast, at up to 24 pages per minute for black and 17 pages per minute for color, which is faster than competing models that print with HP 88 Cyan ink.

Unlike many models, the machine includes high-yield Lexmark X5075 inkjet cartridges in the box. Although there are standard Lexmark X5075 ink cartridges available, the high-yield cartridges are the best value on a cost per page basis. For uses with large volumes, a solid ink printer might be a better choice, such as the Phaser 8560 that features Xerox 108R00723 ink. The machine is fairly compact, especially for its robust feature set. Maximum printing resolution is 4800 by 1200 dpi, for very sharp prints, though printing at the higher resolution settings will result in slower printing speeds.

The Lexmark X5075 ink printer can print, scan, copy and fax. The 30-page automatic document feeder makes it more suitable for business use than units with only a flatbed scanning surface, giving users more flexibility. Maximum scanning resolution is 600 by 1200 dpi at a 48-bit color depth. Faxing and copying can be done standalone, without the need for a computer connection. Copies can be reduced or enlarged from 25 to 400%.

User reviews of the Lexmark X5075 ink printer are mixed. Users praise its low price and economical ink costs. They also like its large feature set. Some users reported problems with faxing, including lost faxes. The machine is designed to store incoming faxes into memory when out of paper, but some users have been unable to recover some faxes.

Overall, the Lexmark X5075 ink printer provides a good mix of features for a very low price. Print speeds are fast, and print quality is quite good. The high yield of the inkjet cartridges helps keep ongoing costs low, more so than Dell MK992 ink, making the X5075 a very economical choice with low operating costs.
