Product Description
Think fast, photo-quality results are impossible to get from a "reasonably-priced" personal inkjet printer? Think again! The Lexmark Z31 with dual cartridge system offers the industry's highest resolution - 1200 x 1200 dpi - for amazingly vivid color photos and laser-sharp black text at a print speed of up to 8 pages per minute. And with the no-fuss, one-click driver installation, your Lexmark Z31 will be printing in no time at all. The Lexmark Z31: the compact, personal printer that brings professional quality color and black printing into the home.Offering you significantly higher resolution than most other printers in its class the Lexmark Z31 outputs professional-looking prints with rich, saturated colors, precise details and sharp edges. It is perfect for color photos as well as illustrations and presentation slides. With Lexmark's unique pigmented black ink and 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution, the Lexmark Z31 delivers sharp text with deep black characters and fine lines. 100% waterproof and specially formulated to prevent 'feathering', the Lexmark Z31 gives laser-quality results even on plain paper. Lexmark's revolutionary laser-crafted printhead, which is built directly into the cartridge, ensures high printing performance with no deterioration in quality over time. Each time you change the cartridge, you get a brand new printhead. It's almost like getting a whole new printer! You'll print your first page only minutes after your printer is out of the box. Just follow the simple set-up instructions, and Lexmark's one-click driver installation will do the rest. Once you're set up, the driver guides you, step-by-step, producing perfect print outs every time. In fact, each feature of the Lexmark Z31 has been designed for optimized ease-of-use.

Packed with 1,200 x 1,200 dpi resolution, speed rated up to 8 pages per minute (ppm) black and 3.5 ppm color, Lexmark's Accu-Feed paper handling, and optional photo printing, the Lexmark Z31 offers great features and modest performance in one economical printer.
To set up the Z31, we followed the getting started guide: we unpacked the printer, connected the parallel cable to our computer, connected the external AC power supply, installed the ink cartridges, loaded the paper into the paper tray, and installed the software. Next, the Z31 driver guided us through aligning the print heads. Finally, the Lexmark Instant Calendar application started automatically and printed a sample calendar page. The entire setup process was straightforward and took about 20 minutes.
In our tests of the Z31, we printed a variety of fonts and font sizes using each of the printer's three modes: Quick Print (600 dpi), Normal (600 dpi), and High (1,200 dpi). For black text, we printed three Quick Print pages in 45 seconds (4 ppm), three Normal pages in one minute and 19 seconds (2.3 ppm), and three High Quality pages in seven minutes and seven seconds (0.42 ppm). Similarly, for mixed color and black text, the results were 1.9 ppm, 0.97 ppm, and 0.25 ppm, respectively. (During our test, the printer driver provided audible status messages.)
The Quick Print samples showed some banding and stray ink dots, and the black text was slightly faded. Colors were also faded and not entirely accurate--red text appeared orange, and pink text appeared lavender. Normal samples showed modest improvement and sharper text. High Quality text samples were very sharp and colors were much bolder and truer to the original, but pink text still appeared lavender.
We printed a 6-by-8-inch color photograph in all three modes, with speeds of 0.57 ppm, 0.27 ppm, and 0.18 ppm, respectively. The Quick Print sample suffered from pixelation and faded color. The Normal sample was remarkably improved, showed no banding, and looked reasonably sharp even on ordinary paper. The High Quality printout was slightly better than the Normal one, and took more time than we expected (five minutes and 35 seconds).
Overall, the Z31 produces sharp text, bright colors, and lovely photographs, especially in High Quality mode. However, its slow printing speed in Hiqh Quality mode and tendency toward variation in color text in Quick Print mode may disqualify it among some demanding users. --Mike Brown
