In the recent edition PC magazine affirmed that Lexmark X3550 All-in-One (AIO) has a lesser total cost of ownership over a three-year period rather than printer models from Canon, HP and Kodak. This statement was followed after the Magazine tested the cartridges from a range of models to establish page yield, and then demonstrated how Rates per page and printer hardware cost interrelate to resolve the total cost of ownership.

It then explained how to calculate the total cost of ownership and thus used two possible situations to make the point that the comparative expenses for printers will differ in the basis of how many pages of what kind get printed. PC Magazine demonstrated that a user would spend a $275.83 on total cost of ownership for the Lexmark X3550 over three years similarly Kodak Easy Share 5300 printer model would cost $333.19 over the same period. This symbolizes savings of $57.36, or 17 percent.

The Lexmark printer reaches the user at a pricing of $79.99, and it features include print speed of 24 ( ppm) black and 17 ppm color; it has also got one-touch copy and scan and professional photo printing options. Other than all this the printer includes Lexmark's elite Imaging Studio Software, which permit users to crop, rotate and resize photos and also allows to apply photo effects like antiquing and sepia tones.
