The Lexmark X6650 all-in-one is a reasonably cheap inkjet printer that has plenty of features including a built-in scanner, copier, fax, photo printer with built-in card reader and has wireless network capability.
The X6650 does not take up a lot of room with or without the paper trays open. The colouring is black and silver and is not difficult to keep spic and span. You can put up to 100 sheets of paper in the back paper tray and the output tray will take up to 25 sheets.

The built-in card reader on the X6650 is compatible with SD Memory Card, SDHC, Micro SD, MultiMedia Card (v4.1), MultiMediaCard Plus (v4.1), RS-MMC, Compact Flash Card, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick Pro Duo, xD-Picture Card, xD-Picture Card (Type M) and xD-Picture Card (Type H). Mini memory cards can also be used with the appropriate adaptor. A PictBridge port is also a feature of the X6650.
The X6650 is easy to get ready and it does not take long to do so. There are slots under the scanner/copier for the black and colour cartridges and the socket for the mains lead is located at the rear left side. It is also easy to load the software for the X6650 onto your computer.
The X6650 takes two sizes of ink cartridges. The 36 standard black will do an estimated 175 pages and the standard 37 150 pages. The high yield XL cartridges are better value at estimated prints of 475 and 500 pages respectively. Better quality photos can be printed on the X6650 with the no. 31 photo ink cartridge.
The X6650 is simple to use and has clearly laid out buttons for the various functions.
The X6650 took 22 seconds to print a standard quality test page of text with a colour logo. The quality of text printed was good and colour graphics were lively although banding could be seen in darker printed areas.
Photos printed on the X6650 were quite decent on a number of different papers although the quality from a dedicated photo printer was noticeably better.
The X6650 disappointed as a copier with washed out text and heavily banded sections of colouring.
In conclusion the Lexmarkk X6650 does not cost the earth and has a decent selection of features. For the money it isn't a bad buy but if you are willing to spend a bit more you will get better value for money.
