There are a lot of features in the Z1520 which make the spec sheet look good, but once again it's the core technology which lets the printer down. Black text on multi-purpose paper isn't as crisp as it should be and photo prints suffer from over-inking. It's time Lexmark upgraded its ink-jet technology, if it's going to compete with the likes of Canon and HP.
Against this, the wireless connection works well and increases the flexibility of the printer and the duplexer does rather better than its competitors in printing double-sided pages at reasonable speed. If you're happy with passable print quality and you're on a budget, check this machine out.
