The overall look of the printer is great. It is silver with dark grey trays and I feel it fits perfectly into a modern home office, although it is a slightly bulky size.

I have found this printer very easy to use, it connects to the PC through a USB Port. For straighforward printing it is pretty fast and produces a high quality print out.. For photocopying (which can colour or black and white) with a simple press of one button. There is also the facility to send send faxes which is simple to use. The fax facility is not used through a phone line, it is operated through the PC's modem once the user has scanned the document into the all-in-one. I have found this to be suitable but if you wanted to fax large documents, I imagine it could be very time consuming.

The scanning facility is very quick compared to our old scanner and again is of a very high quality. The scan quality is bright and clear and picks up tiny details very well. I have scanned many photographs into the PC and the quality is excellent. Once the all-in-one has scanned the image the software gives you the opportunity to choose which program you open the image with.

It also has an easy to use troubleshooting facility, that if a problem does occur can take through simple steps to correct the problem. the instrucitons have comprehensive text and images to assist the user. It also gives advice on how to improve print quality (i.e. for photographs), print double sided etc.

The only problem, I feel with this printer, is that I have found the ink cartridges to be very expensive, (around £35) unless refilled at Cartridge World, (around £18).

When I initially received the Printer it would not work, I called the Dell Service Centr and they replaced it for a brand new within 3 days. The service was excellent and I have not had any problems with the new printer.

Overall, for just over £100, this all in one printer is everything a home office could want!
