Review: Lexmark X8350 All-in-One
Furnishing a home office on a $200 budget? Lexmark's ready with a color inkjet printer, scanner, and copier in one desk-space-saving unit, complete with features often absent at this price such as a full-function fax, automatic document feeder, and flash-card slots, preview LCD, and optional six-ink color for photo printing.The Lexmark X8350 succeeds the model X7170 as the top of the company's inkjet-based multifunction lineup. But while that machine was all business -- small business, anyway -- Lexmark calls the X8350 an Office All-in-One Plus Photo, with features such as six-color borderless printing, digital-camera memory-card slots, and a color preview LCD. These target home-office entrepreneurs who stop work at five o'clock to organize their photo collection or help the kids with school reports, as well as small offices that create flyers or handouts with photos (e.g., real estate agents).
Complete with walk-up (no PC required) copying and faxing and a flatbed color scanner with automatic document feeder for multipage scans or faxes, the X8350 is priced at $200. That's not shockingly low these days, when multifunction units are chasing printer-only inkjets down the stairs to under $100, but it's affordable enough for a thumbs-up with some competitive units costing $300 or more -- especially when you have to stop and think to decide what the X8350 lacks.
