Lexmark yesterday unveiled five new inkjet printers as part of its 2007 line-up, with an emphasis on wireless capabilities, affordability and ease-of-use.

The new line-up consists of two photo printers -- the Z1420 and the Z1320 -- and three multifunction units -- the X4450, the X3550 and the X2550. Of the newly announced products, the X4550 all-in-one and Z1420 photo printer include built-in wireless support for 802.11b/g. The X3350 offers wireless as an optional feature while the X2250 and Z1320 are traditional wired models.

The just-announced products will make up less than half the line-up for the year, with the complete 2007 range consisting of 12 inkjet printers from both the multifunction and photo printer categories. Six will feature integrated wireless capabilities while an additional two will offer the function as an optional add-on. The remaining models will be announced later in the year.

Find the right printer

  • Multiple options can be selected

    • Canon Pixma iP100 Inkjet Printer

      Canon Pixma iP100 Inkjet Printer

      It isn't cheap compared to standard printers, but the Canon Pixma iP100 has the highest resolution available in the mobile printer market and prints at an impressive speed to boot. If you simply must have a printer with you at all times, the iP100 should be the do-it-all at your side.

    • Canon Selphy ES2

      Canon Selphy ES2

      Although it offers no technical upgrades from its predecessor, an enhanced user interface and larger LCD display improve on the impressive ES1, making the Canon Selphy ES2 a pleasing choice for a dye-sub photo printer.

    • Epson Stylus Photo R1900

      Epson Stylus Photo R1900

      Epson's Stylus Photo R1900 photo printer is great for scrapbookers who want to print with pigment ink or advanced photographers who want to print large but can't justify the expense of a pro-level printer.

    • HP Photosmart A626

      HP Photosmart A626

      The HP Photosmart A626 is supposed to bridge the gap between the A826 and the A526 snapshot printers by providing lots of features, good print quality, and decent print speeds, but it falls short on the last two counts.

    • HP Photosmart D5360

      HP Photosmart D5360

      We can't recommend the HP Photosmart D5360 when the competition's all-in-one offers a lot more for the same price.
