My partner Eric and I would like to review the Lexmark X4550 together. We have been shopping for a color printer recently and are familiar with the specs of many comparable models. For that reason alone, we believe we could provide you with a comprehensive review.

Here's how we intend to test the printer:

Eric is a digital photographer and a metadata librarian at a university library. He manages all sorts of spatial information and we have been discussing recently how we can utilize his skill set and celebrate his interests (digital photography, photoshop, GIS map-making technology) as we decorate our new Brooklyn apartment.

Currently, we are under the thrall of a collection of NYC subways maps that emphasize strong colors and minimalist design (see kickmap.com). These maps never caught on in NYC, but we wanted to pay homage to them by printing them out on sturdy paper and featuring them as a motif in our home. We will definitely print out copies and frame them (possibly in antique frames that serve as a juxtaposition to the modern design). We were also considering using a decollatage technique highlighted on this site recently (remember the Andy Warhol posters) to cover our kitchen cabinets. We would like to try printing these maps in a variety of paper weights and finishes. We excited about gettin' creative with these images. This would be a substantial portion of our review.

Additionally, we have been taking pictures of racehorses recently and would like to print and frame these photos for our bedroom. Again, we'd like to experiment a bit and investigate a variety of paper weights and finishes.

We have a Nikon D-70 and would be happy to provide you photo documentation of our Lexmark-reviewing journey.
