Lexmark Z2420: Review
Review: Lexmark Z2420

If you need a basic, convenient, and easy-to-transport printer, then maybe it's time that you try the Lexmark Z2420 Network-Ready Wireless Inkjet Printer. This is a superb printer with great advantages and features to deliver the printing you need for a reasonable price. The most notable feature of the Z2420 model is its wireless-b/g functionality, which is great for using the printer with laptops and other wireless-enabled devices. And because Lexmark is one of the premiere printer companies in the world, you can feel satisfied knowing your prints will come out clean and colorful every time.

As mentioned above, this inkjet printer has many advantages. First of all, the Z2420 is a wireless printer, meaning it does not require any wiring for you to print. This printer is great for an office that already has a tangle of wires. It's not limited to the office either; this model can even be used for mobiles which have a print option. The most convenient aspect of the Z2420 is that it is ultraportable, slim, and lightweight, allowing you to transport it often if need be. Measuring just 4.9" x 18" x 9" and weighing a meager 6 lbs means that the Z2420 is one of the most versatile color inkjet printers on the market today. And because it is fairly priced, this printer won't put a dent in your wallet.


Rating:  4.6 out of 5

Value

For the price, this printer may be a steal. While wireless-ready printers are up-and-coming in the printer market, Lexmark took the challenge of developing an entry-level network-ready model that prints and performs well at a reasonable price. Lexmark's strongest competing point is marketing products with low prices, and the Z2420 inkjet printer is no exception. For the features, performance, and print quality, this model would be strongly recommended for home or small office users looking for a basic, inexpensive printer that doesn't have all the bells and whistles of more expensive printers.

Features

Because the Lexmark Z2420 Network-Ready Wireless Inkjet Printer features an input capacity of 100 pages, it is a great time saver for big print jobs. It can produce 25 black copies in one minute and 18 colored copies in the same time. This model has individual 4-ink cartridges to give a wide range of color shades and allow users to change each cartridge only as needed. The Z2420 features a print resolution of up to 4800 x 1200, which allows for perfect print quality and crisp images every time. Wireless-b/g and USB 2.0 connectivity not only provides you with an easy connection to your computer, but also compatibility to print with multiple devices.

Summary

Overall, if you want a high-performance printer that is affordable and portable, then the Lexmark Z2420 Network-Ready Wireless Inkjet Printer could be your next choice. Because it features wireless connectivity, you can use it just about anywhere. This model produces high-quality prints very quickly, making it versatile enough for your home or small office. It is great value because it offers both performance and functionality for a relatively-low price. While it is not the best printer on the market, it definitely ranks among the best valued.
