Lexmark Z2300 Review

Lexmark Z2300 reviews say this low-cost printer by a respectable printer manufacturer fails on two counts: build quality and ink usage. About the former, users posting Lexmark Z2300 reviews on Amazon say the output is OK but the drivers, not so much; one consumer complains that it takes like, forever, to get a job going and canceling a job takes time, as well. Others report paper jams, inaccurate messages about empty paper trays, and a general level of disappointment with the cut-rate look and feel of the printer. But the loudest complaints concern ink. First, as numerous Lexmark Z2300 reviews note, the printer does not come with a black ink cartridge. Second, reviews on CNET and Walmart report that it drinks ink like crazy and replacement cartridges cost almost as much as the printer. As for the Lexmark Z2300's print performance, some users say it's OK but others ding its relatively slow speed, fuzzy text, and marred photos.

Specs for the Lexmark Z2300 promise speeds of up to 22 pages per minute (ppm) for text and up to 16 ppm for color. It features color resolution of 4800 x 1200 dpi and can print borderless photos.

With so many low-cost inkjet printers on the market, this is one you that's probably worth ignoring despite its super-cheap price. Based on the Lexmark Z2300 reviews that we read, ongoing ink costs will quickly eat up whatever upfront savings you may enjoy.
