Lexmark P315

REVIEW

By M. David Stone

The ink jet–based Lexmark P315 ($100 street) is a little different from other dedicated photo printers. Like most, it focuses on the 4- by 6-inch photo format. And like many, it prints directly from PictBridge cameras and a wide choice of memory card formats. But don't plan on using it to print photos from your computer or even for transferring photo files from a memory card to your hard drive. The P315 is strictly a camera accessory. It offers direct printing only, with no way even to connect to a computer.

Bottom Line

The Lexmark P315 takes the idea of printing from cameras and memory cards one step further than most 4- by 6-inch photo printers by not printing from computers at all. It's portable enough to take anywhere, but as it doesn't have a battery, you can use it only where you can plug it in.

Pros

Prints from PictBridge cameras and memory cards. LCD for previewing photos. Highly portable, with a built-in handle.

Cons

Does not print from computers. Photos are tacky immediately after printing. Even after drying, they are easily hurt by water.
