Advantages: Good print quality, packed full of features

Disadvantages: Expensive to run

The lexmark X5470 is in general a good printer. With a resolution of 4800 x 1200 dpi, you will get a very good print. And it is also capable of printing 25 pages per minute in black and 18 per minute in colour.

On top of this it is also loaded with a 600 x 1200 scanner, 4 memory card readers, a PictBridge port and USB 2 capability. Making it a good all round printer for any home or small office. You can also use this unit as a fax machine with a speed dial option available to use.

The only two downsides to this printer is for one, in my experience lexmark printers tend to be un reliable. Secondly the cartridges are always more expensive on lexmark than almost any other brand. The cartrides that you need are the Lexmark No. 33 which is generally priced at £19.99 and the Lexmark 32 priced normally at £17.99.

To summarise, this is a good printer and a good price. But be warned that the running cost can be a little more expensive than a different brand of printer.

P.s dooyoo seems to think this is a phone, so ignore the rating of sound quality and battery talk time please :)

Summary: A good little printer for the price, howver you may want to consider other options before buying.
