Portable Lexmark Photo printer for £29.99

mantisgeek

The Post Office shop on High Holborn (between Holborn and Tottenham Ct Rd tube in central London) are selling the Lexmark P315 photo printer for £29.99. It looks like a neat little machine and is ideal for those folks who want to print photos at home but don't have a computer as it has a built in LCD screen to preview your photos. I bought one for my Uncle for Christmas and they had a few more left in stock

Looks like a great deal as places like PC World Business are selling this for £75 (see this link) and Amazon selling it for £96 (see here)

If I were you I'd check out the price of the inks (as you'd be using quite a bit with photos!) before investing!

True, if you have umpteen photos to print, then it's worth having these printed from photo specialists or from your local supermarket as this'll be much more cost effective.

However, if you only wish to print a few photos at a time in the comfort and convenience of your own home then this is a great little printer for this. It can use either Lexmark No. 33 or No. 35 cartridges which are around £11 and £18 respectively, the latter being the high yield cartridge.

Fair comment.

My 5 year old son had one of these for Xmas - much more fun for him to see the photos printing out himself than going to get them printed - and as you can just pop the card in and print straight away with no PC it's simple. I'm not to sure as to the quality of the prints yet as I've only printed with his 2mp camera and not my own so I wont comment until I've seen it produce prints from my camera but the ones from his are pretty decent for a cheap 2mp camera with indoor photos
