Advantages: prints both sides

Disadvantages: could be cheaper

The market of printers is at an all time high, and as printers become more and more developed to satisfy all your printing needs, the all in ones have gone from strength to strength.
Lexmark have noticed the need for all in one printers, and have come up with many new all in ones, this one is one of their highest specification of models and is just a fantastic printer to go in any home or small office.

The basic design of this model is pretty much a rectangular cube. Its quite long in shape but very low for a printer. This makes it look really sleek and cool on a desktop.
Its white and grey in colour, with a black, almost glass like panel on the top, and on the pull put paper tray at the top of the printer too. Its these combinations of colour that make this printer look so elegant.
The buttons or rather lack of buttons on this printer could be looked at as a bad thing. However when I use a printer I tend to control all the settings off my pc anyway so I suppose it doesn't matter that much.
The three buttons that are included on this printer are the power button, the paper feed button, and the button for double sided printing. Yes, that's right double sided printing. This is defiantly a must have nowadays, as it can save a lot of time, and a lot of paper. This is something that I really do use a lot and its great if you're a company that needs to produce documents with work, then maybe your business logo on the back off the document, well all this and lots more can be achieved with this printer.

This even has capability for direct photo printing, this means you can connect your sd cards from your cameras or even connect a camera via USB, to the printer and print off your camera directly without the use of a computer. This is a great facility as it can save a lot of time and effort when printing photos. The only draw back though is the capability to see the photos on a built in screen in the printer which would have been nice to see added.

This also has the capability to be connected by a wireless network, so if you have wireless network in your office, or even in your home, then you can print off things using this printer, without it even being connected to your pc or laptop by wires. This means you could be literally anywhere in your house with a laptop and print off anything your working on.
Don't worry if you don't want to use this feature or don't think you'd be able to set it up, as you will still be able connect your printer by USB to your computer or laptop.

One of these printer will cost you around £50, which is really cheap for a printer that can do great things like this one can.
It looks great, it has fantastic print quality, and it can reach speeds of up to 30 pages a minute, so altogether this is an excellent printer at an amazing price.
