Full review
I bought this printer in the need and hope for something to do fantastic prints, something easy to use and cheap to run. What I hoped for is what I got. I have used this printer for a year now and haven't had any problems yet. It has a connection for Canon cameras that have the some connection. USB connection Power lead. Individual cartridges.
The best thing I've found about it is that I don't have to fork out over £20 for a cartridge at a time, instead the choice that having individual cartridges means that I pay around £9 a time for colour and £11 for black.
The print quality is fantastic and its easy to choose which settings you need.
It also has the ability in the print options to choose photo enhancer, image enhancer and much more.
The only problem I have ever found is that sometimes it can be hard to find the cartridges, this was a particular problem when I first got it but now its a little older its easier.
The print quality is amazing, I was so impressed, the tech support is great too. There are drivers to download for free on the internet which helps a great deal, especially if you use it for one or more computers and/or lose the CD with the drivers on.
When I plug it in to a computer with Windows XP it is instantly recognised.
It's easy to sort out a problem, doesn't take long. It gives clear instructions on screen when something goes wrong.
All the components easily fold down such as the paper holder and also where the paper comes out.
Sometimes its a bit of a pain to try and sort out envelope settings but apart from that I have no problems.
The colour is great, really vibrant and no lines on the page.
Its easy to set up, easy to sort out problems, cheap to run and it gives you something better than most printers. Choose between print quality, speed, also has a quiet mode! Ah bless!
Prices vary over the internet but it's a bubblejet which means it doesn't have the lines that many printers give when printing lots of colour.
