Lexmark X3480 Multi-Function Printer

The X3480 has more features than some of Lexmark's cheaper multi-function printers. Is it worth the extra?

Lexmark quotes ‘up to 17 pages per minute’ from the X3480 but you’re unlikely ever to get close to this. Although we managed to better 17ppm by printing a two-line text document in Quick Print mode (and excluding processing time), Quick Print produces...

Lexmark X3480 review

Copying and printing is as simple as it gets

48-bit CIS scanner ; 17ppm maximum colour print speed ; PictBridge

Single cartridge ; Print speed ; Running costs

Whatever strengths it has are strangled by far too many weaknesses

Lexmark X3480 All In One Printer Scanner and Copier

The X3480 is a compact All-in-One printer, copier and scanner. The blocky design might not be much to write home about but it feels sturdier than some of the recent efforts from Lexmark, but you have to remember that it's an AiO built to a price....

Simple to use and set up, price

Top quality print output leaves something to be desired, text output lacks punch, limited ink tank yield, proof sheet scanning issues

Basic, simple to use and with adequate results, the X3480 looks good value for money particularly at the half price currently available. However, problems with the proof sheet scanning for direct printing and the limited single in tank yield means I...

Lexmark - X3480

Lexmark must feel it has a winner with its current design of all-in-one machine. The little 'round-edge box with a chunk cut out' look has certainly become a characteristic of its entry-level multifunction machines, though the ...

The real danger for Lexmark in marketing this machine is that its price is higher than the normal entry-level figure. At £40-50, the price of the X24nn series, there's little competition, but at close to £100, the current price of the X3480, there are...

Lexmark X3480

The printer is easy to install It is relatively low cost It has a good print speed It is reliable, I've had little trouble with it since purchasing 6 months ago.

Average print quality - the printer only has one colour ink cartridge and the black is not not as black as could be for letters etc. Difficult to get hold of No. 2 cartridge required for the printer. The cartridges have a short print capacity before...

Lexmark X3480

good quality printing for photos. Not really any good for document printing due to poor black ink depth. One carteridge is a good idea.

A nightmare to set up for PC. I am an experienced PC user and had major problems. Had to install via website as disc was no good. Language was not english on purchase. My father got one of these also before me. It took me four hours to insall. He would...
