2 . Introduction

Click here for full-size image.Despite what marketing hype might have you believe, it's rare that a new product not only improves on previous models but also introduces something a little different. This certainly applies to printers, so from time to time I'm going to use this column to spotlight some of the more unusual and interesting models that might turn up in your local computer store.

I'll kick off my product watch by taking a look at Lexmark's $200 P450, an inkjet printer for 4-by-6-inch photos that is the first to include an integrated CD burner. (Click on the thumbnail photo at above right.)

3 . No PC Needed!

The P450 is designed to be used as a stand-alone device for printing, organizing, and storing your photos. As such, it can't connect to your PC at all, which is a bit of a shame. Still, the intention is that you can use the printer to store images onto CD-R discs or a USB key or thumb drive. Thankfully, the CD burner lets you write to the same CD-R disc multiple times until it's full.

The P450 supports only JPEG photos, but there are multiple means to queue them up for print. You can use a CD-ROM disc, a USB key, the direct-print (PictBridge) port compatible with most digital cameras, or the printer's built-in media card reader slots. These slots support Compact Flash, MultiMediaCard, SecureDigital (SD), Smart Media, Memory Stick, and XD Picture Card by default, plus Mini SD and Memory Stick Duo via optional adapters. Another option is a Bluetooth adapter to let you print photos directly from a Bluetooth-equipped (and likely camera-equipped) cell phone.

The P450 also has a composite-video TV-output connection and slide-show mode so that you can connect the printer to a TV (I used a media card and USB key) and view photos. Click on the thumbnail photo below to see this capability:

4 . Out of the Box

The P450 uses a single three-color ink cartridge (one $22 standard-yield cartridge is bundled) to print borderless photos in sizes 4-by-6 inches, A6, Hagaki card, or L, all at up to 4800 dots per inch. Lexmark claims that if you use its $40 4 by 6 Photo Printing Kit (140 sheets of photo paper and a high-yield print cartridge), you can achieve up to 140 prints for $40; that's roughly 29 cents per photo.

I found that with no PC connection to make, no software to install, only a single ink cartridge to click into place, and an automatic alignment mode, setting up this printer was a breeze. And it was just as easy to operate with the help of a pared-down number of control buttons and a 2.4-inch, pop-up color LCD display offering logical menu navigation.

Given that you're not able to hook this printer up to a computer, I definitely appreciated the ability to perform simple touch-up tasks as you select each photo you wish to print. Basic editing options include rotating 90 degrees, cropping and zooming, red-eye removal, image enhancement, and color effects (gray scale, sepia, antique brown, and antique gray). All adjustments are previewed on the display.

You can also print photos in three quality modes: photo (maximum), normal, or draft.
