This printer is easy to use from the start. From the setting up of the printer to the actual printing. The instruction manual and cd-rom are idiot proof. The cartridges are easy to install and readyly available to purchase (and not to expensive either).
The print quality is excellent even if you are using a low quality paper. Obviously the paper the better the quality. I use mine to print a lot of things for hand made cards and scrapbooking and get an excellent result with clear images and text.
This is an all round good printer/scanner/photo copier with lots of useful features such as printing straight from your camera and the 'fitting to page' button.
Excellent value for money and an ideal printer for families. Anyone can use it from kids doing school projects to mummy's that want to get a bit crafty!!

Sorry for the low rating, but I think that your Review needs a lot more information and detail to justify a higher rating. It helps if you write every product Review as if you’re writing for someone who has virtually no knowledge of what you’re reviewing, in clear non technical language. You might find it helpful if you read and rate some other peoples’ reviews (especially those that have been rated VH or E). It might give you an idea of the sort of things you need to include. It might also be helpful if you had a look at the Ciao guides to writing Reviews and Rating I found them really useful. If I can be of any help feel free to put a note in my gb. Rich

Sorry for the rating but you need to give a lot more detail to achieve higher ratings; for example you say it is not compatible with all cameras but you don't say which ones or why. Have a look at some other reviews to get an idea of the level of detail that goes into a highly rated review. If you edit this please leave a message in my guest book and I am happy to come back and re-rate. Lin
