| The X85 it talks, it makes very good picture prints, black is easy to refill, color not easy, has highest resolution I've found and better than X83, the previous modle. It cost least as a new modle than others for "all in ones" print/copy etc. A few not so bad considerations include the non-print space at bottom of page 1/2" is blank and side borders 1/4". This can sometimes be a problem but can be managed; others are even around sides 1/4". It will print off line and you have to restart the computer to get copy. If two printers running on one computer the Lexmark will not act as primary printer and it is more difficult to reset the default settings to become primary but like all printers you must have that printer plug in at startup, turning on computer while other not in line. It takes ample time to learn the techicals having two printers on one system. Overall, the X85 is a fun product and carries larger ink capacities than most brands, but can cost slightly more. It will handle all systems within the past 5 or so years. As the real old systems I'm not sure and not sure about systems with CD/DVD"(+}". disks. |
| I purchased my X85 6 months ago, since then, I got a lot of troubles with this priner. The first time I used it to print a color photo, it came out all pink. called customer service, they send me a new catriage, now the color is still not right, the images are either too blur or two dark. Also the copy does not seem right. sometimes the first couple of black copy came out all black ink, after a few times, it will do copy. the quick mode does not work properly either. And it constantly lose connect with my computer ( I use window XP). Finanlly I got fed up with this printer, and I call customer service again, now they have 1800 or 1888 number for technical support, upon my request, they agree to send me a new model x5150 with a reasonable extra charge. The new X5150 works great with photo printing, now I can send picture to my family and friend printed from my printer. Compared with X5150, X85 is a trouble maker. Would not recommend this, but Lexmark customer service is not bad. |
Very good and simple to work and it talks to you.
A trouble maker
