Scanning was reasonably clear and sharp. It does a decent job of scanning documents, photos and plain sheets of paper, but if you're planning on scanning anything with a little complex embossing or layers of paper placed on top of each other, the part that's not touching the scanner base comes out blurred. Scanning 3D objects are a strict no-no.

The colors were a bit dull in our scanning tests so a little software adjustment is advised after scanning.
Since the X 1270 uses the exact same cartridges as Z645, the cartridge capacity was also similar. We got 105 pages of print before the color cartridge showed signs of deterioration, which is very low by any standards. With the cartridges priced at Rs 842 and Rs 916 for black and color respectively, the page output just doesn't justify that cost.
Conclusion
The problem with the Lexmark X 1270 is that it offers something good, but under-performs in all its offerings. It's a good looking printer with a nice set of features, but the output is simply disappointing. The Lexmark X 1270 can be yours at a street price of Rs 4,490. But really, do you want it?
