Lexmark Z2320

Quality inkjet printing from a versatile lower-end machine

Written by Marcus Austin

The Z2320 is a conventional inkjet printer aimed at the lower end of the market that offers quality black and white and colour printing.

Text printing was smooth and detailed and did not suffer too much from the bleed that often mars inkjet prints.

It was good at producing coloured graphs and charts for business presentations and even did quite well with photo prints.

The Z2320 uses two cartridges to produce colour prints – one cartridge contains black ink, while a second contains cyan, magenta and yellow inks – so it cannot quite match the more subtle tones produced by printers with six inks.

Even so, the results are pretty good for a printer in this price range and the Z2320 can certainly be used to turning out the occasional 4x6 photo print.

The only disappointment was that we found it a little slow.

Using the normal quality mode the Z2320 produced about six pages per minute for simple black and white text documents and took a full minute to print a single 4x6 photo print – and twice as long when we printed the photo on glossy paper with the highest quality setting.
