Advantages: Build quality, excellent photos, sheet feed, CD printing
Disadvantages: Slow speed on highest setting, ink expensive, included instructions poor.

It uses 2 ink cartridges, 1 black and 1 five colour, colour cartridge, approx £12 & £20 respectivly. Great savings can be made using 3rd party suppliers of ink. It can be connected via USB or LPT1.

The PCMCIA adapter to use this, and plug it straight into the printer, comes with the kit. I understand that an additional version for SmartMedia will set you back in the region fo £42. Excellent supporting software is supplied, and so the card-reader acts like a new drive of your PC, automatically load onto screen thumbnails of your shots, etc. Brilliant! For a serious digital camera owner, it's the way to go!... Read review
