The brook of new printers hitting the market shows no sign of slowing down, with all the major manufacturers eager to fill every place, however small, with a printer of some explanation. Lexmark’s P915 Photo printer is a well-priced, six-color inkjet printer aimed at the home user and features an LCD screen and fast print speeds.

As befits a home printer, the P915 Photo Printer is no dull grey lump of plastic and is decked out instead in a somewhat less boring pale grey and tinny blue finish. With both paper trays comprehensive it measures 42 x 45 x 30cm, so it takes up a fair bit of desktop space.

The P915 Photo Printer comes with a 100-page feed tray and uses Accu-Feed paper handling technology to notice the media type, mechanically adjusting driver settings to make the best superiority print. It prints up to a maximum resolution of 2,400 x 1,200 dpi (dots per inch) for neutral printing and 4,800 x 1,200 when printing color.

Considering its price it’s a real surprise to find an LCD panel on the P915 Photo Printer; not only is there one, but the 2.5-inch panel is also color. It not only previews your photos (in stand-alone mode it also shows how the finished print will look), but also walks you through how to alter the print cartridges with a tidy little video, so you can see how to do it while you are altering them. And it displays a timer which counts down how long your print job will take.

All the controls sit on the front on either side of the LCD panel. To the left are buttons to rotate images seen in the LCD, and set the number you wanted to print? The power button is here as well. To the right sit the bulk of the control buttons, clustered around a larger toggle button. These control all the other functions related to printing your photos; print preview, choose, menu, stop/clear, resize and start. The tootle button itself has the dual functions of scrolling through your photos and selecting menu options.

At the far right-hand side of the front panel sits the card reader and PictBridge interface. The card reader reads all the normally used flash memory cards; CompactFlash Type I & II, Memory Stick, Multi Media, Secure Digital, Smart Media, Micro drive and xD cards.

Lexmark quotes presentation figures of 22ppm (pages per minute) black and 15ppm colour for the P915 Photo Printer, but these are, as customary, just engine speeds and were borne out by our tests of engine speed. In actuality it prints text at a shade under 8ppm, while this drops to 4ppm when printing a mix of text in adding to graphics.

Text superiority is good with sharp, unburned images. It takes just over a minute to print an A4 colour print on normal paper and five minutes when printing on glossy premium paper. Color prints show good color division and sharpness.

The P915 Photo Printer comes with Lexmark’s own Imaging Studio software which guides you through all aspects of your print job; printing photos in common sizes, attaching images to e-mails, printing from memory cards, printing albums of unreliable sizes of photos and resizing photos.
