First, it’s basically a printer capable of 802.11 b/g wireless printing and compatible with 802.11n. The wireless capability makes it possible to produce top-quality prints for any and every computer within the same shared and secure wireless network. You may also opt to connect it to your computer with a USB cable. Either way, connectivity will surely not be a problem as you will also be guided by the installation software as you set up your printer.
Let’s talk about print quality. Boasting of a 4800x1200 dpi resolution and a printing speed of 25 black pages per minute and 18 colored pages per minute, this printer sure can perform in top form. Not only that, it has PrecisionSense technology that enables it to detect what kind of paper is being used, automatically adjusting the print resolution accordingly. You won’t have to worry about misaligned cartridges, as it automatically aligns cartridges to provide top-quality printing without hitches.
Photo printers are all the rave in the advent of photography enthusiasts; and this printer is certainly up to par. The Lexmark X4650 has slots that can accommodate digital memory cards, and several USB ports for flash drives and digital cameras compatible with the PictBridge application. This level of connectivity enables you to print photos without having to connect to a computer, letting you select which photos you want to print via scan back proof-sheet. You can even manage several photo effects right from the printer itself, like sepia, antique gray, antique brown, and black & white. This printer will produce top-quality prints, capable of printing with 6-colors and having an optional photo cartridge which is borderless in popular sizes.
Aside from being a brilliant printer, this machine also functions as a copier. Featuring 1-touch PC-free copying in both black and color, it is also capable of reducing and enlarging images with a range of 25-400%. Acting almost like a copier in itself, it can handle 1 to 99 copies and borderless copying in the usual photo sizes.
Another brilliant feature is it has a flatbed scanner that can easily handle thick books, paper or boards, performing still with 36-bit color depth and 12-bit grayscale. The software bundled with this machine also enables you to scan printed documents into an editable computerized format. Scanning to PDF format was never this efficient.
Don’t throw out your black Lexmark36, color Lexmark37 and optional photo Lexmark31 cartridges just yet, as the Lexmark X4650 is compatible with these ink cartridges. This printer is all about versatility. It can definitely handle the usual A4 paper and even the Lexmark Photo Paper and Lexmark Premium Paper.
Truly, the Lexmark X4650 does not disappoint. Try it and see for yourself that this machine is the epitome of quality printing and versatility rolled into one, for the price of one.
