Lexmark X9350 - Expert Reviews

Pros: Features, Price, Control panel

Cons: Disappointing top quality print output, Text output not up to scratch, Blocky design

Verdict: A good price combined with a great feature set makes it look good on paper, but photo-quality prints dissatisfy as does the text output

Review summary: The X9350 is a multi-function device that combines a sheet-fed scanner and copier, a colour printer and a fax, all in one unit. It's nicely designed, has a small footprint and best of all it gives ...

Verdict: The Lexmark gets full marks for its neat styling but is let down slightly by its slow print speed. However, it makes up for its drawbacks by bundling some very comprehensive scanning and printing software, including Abbyy's Finereader 6 OCR package.

Review summary: This machine is an all-in- one fax, colour inkjet printer, scanner and copier. It performs with varying ability, faces stiff competition from HP and Epson, but generally failed to impress us considering the price

Pros: Nice to have the wireless option, Bright and sharp printer colours

Cons: Expensive, Poor quality scanning and copying

Verdict: There's just not enough quality here to justify the high price tag

Review summary: Lexmark's top-of-the-range, wireless all-in-one machine has all the extras, but what about the fundamentals?

Pros: Wifi, Wifi, Well-designed control panel, Auto-document feeder

Cons: Photocopy quality only average, Photocopy quality only average, Slow printing speeds

Verdict: The Lexmark X9350 brags all the extras and wireless connection, but prints are average and slow to arrive.

Review summary: Using this machine away from your PC is a cinch as the onboard interface is very cleanly laid out and the menus intuitive to use. Speed wise, the inkjet engine is very competent as it finished our mono and colour print tests at speeds of 12ppm and 5ppm.

Verdict: The X9350's print engine strikes a good balance between speed and quality.
