The Lexmark Interact S605 has some nice features that could tempt someone buying for a small or home office. These high prices may be tolerable if you print fairly little, but they dampened our enthusiasm for this product. The high-yield “100XL” versions are a little more expensive than average: a 510-page black costs $25 (4.9 cents per page) and 600-page cyan, magenta, and yellow cartridges cost $18 each (3 cents per color, per page). The standard-size “100” inks include a 170-page black cartridge ($16, or 9.4 cents per page) and separate 200-page, cyan, magenta, and yellow color cartridges ($10 each, or 5 cents per color per page). Alas, the Interact S605 can’t work with that supercheap 105XL cartridge. You may have seen Lexmark’s ads for $5 ink cartridges on TV or the Web. Photos exhibited a slight greenish tint and high contrast that provided great detail in darker areas but made fleshtones look unnatural. Media slots support MS/MMC, SD, and xD card there is a USB/PictBridge port as well.įull-color, 4-by-6-inch photos (printed on letter-size paper) averaged 1.9 ppm on the PC on the Mac, a 7.5-by-9.9-inch, high-resolution color photo printed on letter-size paper in about 83 seconds (0.7 ppm).

The rear, vertical input try holds a scant 100 sheets, and the front output area accommodates 25 sheets. But otherwise, the Interact S605’s features are unremarkable: There is no automatic document feeder, just a letter-size flatbed scanner. Automatic duplexing (two-sided printing) is the other big plus. The touchscreen also gives the machine a cleaner look than a raft of buttons would. Not only does the touchscreen look great, but Lexmark did an excellent job with its icons and menu structure. Not only does the touchscreen look great, but Lexmark did an excellent job with its icons and menu structure, making it intuitive, easy to navigate, and well thought out. The Interact S605’s 4.3-inch touchscreen control panel is its standout feature. The Interact S605’s 4.3-inch touchscreen control panel is its standout feature. Unfortunately, that embellishment doesn’t fully compensate for the machine’s pricey inks and other shortcomings.

Interact S605 color inkjet multifunction printer avoids being just another $200 printer/scanner/copier by including a 4.3-inch color LCD touchscreen for its control panel (think iPod touch or iPhone).
