*Update: Lexmark has just informed us that the actual price of the Z645 printer is Rs. 1,800 making it the best value for money printer in India as of today. Moreover, the iP1200 has just dropped its price to Rs. It give's much higher quality prints, it's a lot faster and it did 220 pages in our tests, which is double of what the Z645 did.
What I do recommend is getting the Canon iP1200 instead. In a sedated state of mind I'd recommend it as a disposable printer, but I'd repent that too once the long-term cost comes back into perspective. The print quality is just average, the build is cheap and the speed isn't worth much either. So as you can tell, in the long run the printer is not really going to be very economical with its low print output.Įven with its highly appealing price, it's hard to recommend a printer that does nothing right, besides look cute. 916 respectively, but in our tests the color cartridge needed replacing after only 107 pages, which is the lowest page output we've ever seen from any printer. The price for the black and color cartridges are Rs. 2,499*, which sounds like a pretty decent price, but things don't really look too economical when looking at the bigger picture. On the highest printer settings, each document was printed in approximately 26 minutes, which is more than triple the time most printers take on the same test. If things are looking bad with this, the speed of the Z645 will really tick you off. In our font tests, readability was lost after font size 3 and even the bigger sized fonts showed slight ink spillage.
If you're planning to use your desktop to make any kind of presentation related documents or anything that would be distributed to the public, then steer clear off the Z645. On prints on glossy photo paper, and at the best print settings, the ink dots were quite visible and the printed image lacked any sense of depth.Ĭolor prints on plain paper come pretty bad and will leave a lot to be desired. Though the ink colors are bright and lively, the sharpness level is quite low. The Lexmark Z645 is definitely not one of them. There are some printers that cost low enough to be categorized under the ultra-budget desktop inkjet category, but in actual performance, give even the higher-end models a run for their money. Ultimately the Lexmark 645 was built to look good, but not be manhandled. With just a single button that does everything on the printer, there isn't much scope for confusion even for a novice.
