Amazon.com Review
The Z25 is one of those printers whose price is lower than those of its replacement ink cartridges, so it's a real bargain only for those who print infrequently. This is very much an entry-level printer, where Lexmark has battened down all the hatches to produce an inkjet device at very little initial cost. Its simple design, which sees the rear paper-feed tray fold down on top of the printer when it's not in use, has a simple pullout tray at the front to catch the printed pages. There are just two physical controls, a power button and a paper-feed button. Everything else is done under software control.
To set up the printer, we inserted the single, tricolor cartridge (a second, black cartridge is an optional extra), loaded the printer driver--which supports any version of Windows from 98 on or Mac OS from 8.2--and the Z25 was ready to go. The driver is well-designed and offers useful information, such as ink level and automatic detection of cartridge replacement. It also speaks to you with progress and error messages.
In our tests, without a black cartridge, black text came out looking dark brown, rather than truly black, and because the printer must lay down all three colours, the print speed was low. A standard five-page text document took nearly 5 minutes to print, giving the Z25L a real-world print speed of just over 1 page per minute (ppm), far less than the rated 9 ppm black and 6 ppm color. It's best to invest in the second cartridge.
A 3-by-5-inch photo came out surprisingly well. Although we saw some dithering in areas of steady tone, the colors were bright, if not completely accurate. The 1,200 x 1,200 dpi resolution is high enough for most needs but is realized only on premium photo papers. The print time, at just over 3 minutes, is pretty good, particularly for a printer in this price range.
The Z25L comes with a one-year exchange warranty, during which time Lexmark will swap out any faulty device. It has a heavy duty cycle of up to 2,000 pages per month and is comparatively quiet in operation. Overall, the Lexmark Z25 represents very good value for money. --Simon Williams
Product Description
The Lexmark Z25 is a versatile, high-performance printer perfectly suited for small business, home office and individuals who demand the highest quality possible from a color inkjet printer. With 1200 x 1200 dpi, the Lexmark Z25 easily outclasses its competition. The Lexmark Z25 delivers higher definition than ever achieved before delivering output so sharp and vivid, that photo quality prints and laser sharp text are possible, right out of the box. Accu-Feed paper handling virtually eliminates paper jams while handling a wide range of paper from envelopes and transparencies to paper stocks.

Big Pain.......2006-08-22
I concur with the previous complaints with efficiency and cost of cartridges. However, my dislike for this printer is associated with the jamming that occurs when printing a larger print file. As a previous evaluation noted, the printer jams and you end up wasting lots of paper and ink re-printing. The printer worked fine for the first few months. As the usage increases the paper feed begins to have problems with feeding paper that is aligned properly, and jams when the paper is eskew because the feeder mechanism pulls paper faster on the right than on the left, leaving a printed page crooked, if not jammed before completion.
I would not recommend this printer unless you are into frustrating yourself. So long, Lexmark.
Print Quality Very Poor.......2005-02-09
Prints well for the first couple of runs. Cartridge runs out quickly. Cartridge build is nothing more than a foam sponge inside - very poor design.
You get what you pay for.
A classic razor and razor blade situation - Don't buy this.......2004-11-12
I was sucked in by the low price of the printer but the ink cartridges will have you paying through the nose (the editorial review already mentioned this). The low productivity per ink cartridge will have you buying cartridges very often, for me it was every three or four months and with the total cost for two cartridges being around $90 without no generic cartridges available the printer was definitely not worth it.
Actually, the cartridges can be refilled but there are other problems with that.
The printing quality is okay but with the market for printers so large there is no reason to settle for this. Now I'm looking for a new printer and I am definitely not buying a Lexmark again.
Cheapest thing in the world.......2004-08-03
I must say I'm not a stickler for print quality and print speed, so I didn't notice that the blacks came out dark brown, or that printing a full-page photograph took more time than it should. What I have noticed is that this printer will never feed more than one sheet of paper without jamming. That is to say, it might get the first page through alright, but when it goes for the second sheet, it feeds the right side of the sheet too quickly, starts printing at an angle, which crumples the paper, and jams the machine. In, fact, I wouldn't even reccommend leaving paper in the tray. Feed it manually, always.
I also have to say that the software (at least that which came with the Brazilian installation package) is irritating to the point of never wanting to print again. "Printing is starting" "Please feed paper" Blablabla, I'm not blind, you don't have to speak to me, just beep and that's enough. I take it back. No stars! This printer is going to printer hell when it dies, along with all its Z25 brethren. Avoid it like the plague.
Good quality for the price.......2003-03-20
This is a good quality printer for a very good price.
Printing is not too fast, but I never had a problem. The software is good and runs great with Xp. Ideal for home use.

Customer Reviews:
Don't buy cheap Lexmarks.......2007-11-20
They rip you off on the replacement cartridges. Even ones from third parties are expensive. I changed to an Epson photo printer and I can buy 6 color cartridge pack for under $20 (thru Amazon if you want). The cheap Dell printers were basically the same printer but they changed the top cap so you would buy their cartridges (they also rip you off). What they don't tell you is that the Lexmark cartridges fit into their printers.
Product Description
This professionally Remanufactured Lexmark 10N0026 (#26) Color Ink Cartridge is an original Lexmark 10N0026 (#26) inkjet cartridge which has been through one cycle of service and has been recharged. The 10N0026 cartridge has been thoroughly cleaned along with the printhead nozzles. Then the OEM 10N0026 was inspected for any possible shell leakage, tested on the operation of all electrical circuitry and finally run through an actual print test. If the cartridge passes our rigid standards, it is a remanufactured 10N0026 for your Lexmark printer! This quick-drying, dye-based ink offers optimum performance and productivity with superior resistance to smudging and bleeding.
We offer a 100% Quality Satisfaction Guarantee on our Remanufactured 10N0026 ink cartridge.
Lexmark recently released a low capacity 10N0227 #27 Moderate Use Color ink cartridge. They contain half the ink as the 10N0026 (#26). We recommend only using the higher capacity 10N0026 cartridges and ink refill kits instead of the lower capacity 10N0227.
For use in the following printers: Lexmark X75,X1150,X1185,X2250,X1100,X1270,X1240 & Lexmark Z13,Z23,Z25,Z33,Z35,Z515,Z605,Z615,Z611,Z600,Z645,Z517 & Lexmark i3 & Other Compaq IJ650,Compaq IJ652
