User Reviews for Lexmark X5150 All-In-One Printer (Lexmark-17K0284)

Reviewed by: witchy

Duration of ownership:

Strengths:

Weaknesses: page feed, changing cartridges, support, printer is loud and slow

Overall Evaluation: The paper feeds crooked all the time! When I changed ink cartridges I started to get white horizontal lines on part of my page. I figured maybe I left something on the cartridge but no I had not. I reinstalled both the black and color, followed the on-printer window and instructions... still part of my printouts have lines or incomplete sections and not always in the same place. I can NEVER depend on the print I will receive whether I'll be able to use it or not.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Farily easy to operate. Fast black & white copies

Weaknesses: Ink costs are outrageous! Cartridges difficult to find. Drinks ink! Scanned documents faded & rarely legible. Not suitable for consistent, true-color photos.

Overall Evaluation: I purchased my printer primarily for digital photos. The Photo-Editing program is weak. A new cartridge will print true colors for a few pages, then blues look teal, grays appear purple and skin tones often Orange. I use only Kodak professional quality paper, have a nice computer with Windows ME. I use more ink printing trouble-shooting or cleaning pages than I do printing photos. I use several cartridges a month and have the same experience every time. Scanned documents are often streaky and faded and are rarely legible. Not much better quality than the old Lexmark I used for years. The old model was not a photo printer. Cartridges not available at discount stores, only at high-end office supply stores or on-line. After less than a year and a half, I'm shopping for a new printer that actually prints quality photos and have no doubt that it will pay for itself quickly. It won't be a Lexmark!
