Lexmark X2470

We've become used to printers replacing the universal colour cartridge with individual tanks, allowing you to replace one tank rather than having to j...

Low initial cost, One-touch buttons make it very user-friendly

Slow, single ink cartridge, barely adequate print quality

The X2470 is cheap on paper, but its running costs will stack up in the long run. Add to this the average speed and final quality that fails to match that of similar models and you have an MFD that may struggle to establish itself.

Lexmark X2470

Lexmark has packed a lot of features into the X2470 at a great price. But do you get what you pay for?

Lexmark X2470

Sixty quid for a device that prints, scans and copies sounds like an irresistible deal. As is often the case with peripherals, things aren't quite what they seem.

The X2470 is cheap on paper, but its running costs will stack up in the long run. Add to this average speed and final quality that fails to match that of the similarly priced HP PSC 1410, and this is an MFD that will struggle to establish itself as the...

Lexmark - X2470

In recent years Lexmark has majored on selling into the cheaper end of the market, euphemistically known as entry-level. The company's done very well at it and last year it introduced both a printer and an ...

In many ways the X2470 is what the earlier Lexmark all-in-one should have been. It now works with digital cameras and can even handle your reprints. It's only problem is that the increase in price brings it closer to some serious rivals from Canon and HP.

What Happened to Lexmark?

Pros? Well, not many.

Not a best bet

This is an all in one printer/scanner. It has some nice features found on most multi-function devices of this sort but nothing special or outstanding. It prints well, not great, scans well but not great and the price is ok but not ...

decent printing, scanning and copying

Ink costs that will drain your wallet

Lexmark X2470 Color Printer and Scanner

I bought the Lexmark Color Printer model number X2470 when the one I had received with my new computer stopped working. I tried to find the one that I already had or the closest thing to it because I liked it so much, but
