+ REVIEWS:
CNET reviews the Lexmark P350, they rated the printer 6.2/10 and write:
“The white-and-silver P350 is small and lightweight: It measures 127mm by 235mm by 147mm and weighs in at 1.84 kilograms. The fold-up handle makes it easy to tote around, but the included power cord and adapter put a bit of a damper on the portability…The good: Small, compact body, inexpensive, reasonable print costs,decent print quality, adjustable LCD. The bad: Slow print speeds, limited image enhancements, included desktop software is limited in range, no battery option.”
PCmag reviews the Lexmark P350, they rated the printer 3/5 and write:
“The P350 is faster than the P315, has the ability to print from a computer, and prints photos that are essentially waterproof…Output quality is certainly good enough for snapshots to hand out to family and friends. Every photo I printed displayed true photo quality, with subjects ranging from landscapes to snowscapes to portraits. That said, a few flaws prevent it from being ideal.”
+ PRESS RELEASE
Lexmark International today introduced the Lexmark P350 Portable Photo Printer, featuring new Evercolor II ink technology, and PerfectFinishTM Photo Paper as part of a photo printing system that produces photos of exceptional quality and durability. The Lexmark P350 has an estimated street price of £99.99*. The first to feature Lexmark’s new Evercolor II pigmented ink technology, the Lexmark P350 4-by-6 inch photo printer produces vibrant, borderless photos that print in as little as 75 seconds** with up to 4,800 x 1,200 dots per inch resolution.
Evercolor II is a pigment-based ink system that is meant to be used with Lexmark’s new PerfectFinish Photo Paper, a micro-porous photo paper that absorbs the inks quickly. Compared with conventional dye-based inks, the Evercolor II pigmented inks dry more quickly and are highly resistant to water. Together, Lexmark’s Evercolor II inks and PerfectFinish Photo Paper yield high-quality photos that are remarkably resilient and durable – lasting for up to 100 years in a frame and up to 200 years in an album***
“The Lexmark P350 delivers powerful ink technology in a compact, portable package,” said Najib Bahous, Lexmark vice president and president of its Consumer Printer Division. “With the Lexmark P350, photo enthusiasts and amateur photographers alike can produce lab-quality photos that are rich in colour and far more durable and lasting.”
Small and stylish, the Lexmark P350 is tough enough for everyday use, with an array of features that allows consumers to view, edit, print, save, organise and share their digital photos. It operates either as a stand-alone unit or connected to a PC or Mac.
Consumers can print directly from memory cards, PictBridgeTM compatible digital cameras, a USB flash drive or, with the purchase of an optional adapter, from a Bluetooth technology cell phone.
The large, adjustable 2.4-inch colour display makes it easy to edit photos, using one-touch colour fix and red eye reduction and the application of sepia, antique gray, antique brown and black and white effects.
