The P4350 is Lexmark's newest multifunction device (MFD) and the design is an improvement on previous models.
Combining a flatbed A4 scanner with an inkjet photo printer in a sleek and stylish case, the P4350 will also produce colour photocopies. The memory card reader built into the control panel spanning the front of the unit grabs image files from every major memory card format, while a USB socket enables you to print photos direct from a Pictbridge digital camera.
A range of image manipulation features make getting the most from your photos simpler. Dedicated resize and rotate buttons at the front of the unit allow you to alter the dimensions and orientation of photos, while the menu button gives access to basic image editing settings, print quality and paper size options.
Images can also be previewed on the 1.7in colour LCD screen or printed as an index sheet of thumbnail images. The inclusion of a page preview button to the left of the display lets you print draft photos before moving on to the more expensive photo paper for the final print.
The printer houses a three-colour cartridge (cyan, magenta and yellow) along with a photo cartridge (light black, light cyan and light magenta). Image quality was good and on a par with other MFDs, but not a patch on the capabilities of more expensive dedicated photo printers.
As far as photo print speeds go, the Lexmark won't break any records. Waiting more than six minutes for an A4 colour photo at top-quality settings can be a real drag. The Lexmark P4350 might not be able to produce pixel-perfect prints, but you do get a lot for your money.
