Appearance
I think the printers quite cute and its fairly compact so will fit on the table next to your monitor. It's also a nice sturdy machine and would rate the build quality quite high apart from a slightly loose sliding paper tray.
Performance
The printer isn't the fastest available but it's not unbearable its colour prints at about 2 pages a minute. It does however pump out an annoying high pitched noise as it prints. The worst aspect of the machine is its 'recommended monthly print volume' is a minimal 250 to 1,000 pages so it can only be used for personnel use.
Quality of Print
The printer combines the sharp and fast text output of mono lasers with the crisp vibrant picture of colour inkjet although this was after a little tweaking as originally the picture quality was a little too dark
Features
Basically this printer does the job it's bought for, it doesn't have wifi capabilities or many other special features.
Ease of Use and Installation
It was fairly easy to install and remove, refill, and reinsert the bottom-mounted paper drawer although it takes slightly longer to put in the ink cartridges which I found a bit fiddly.
Cost of cartridges
While on the topic of cartridges the printer goes through them very quickly and they are not cheap making it very expensive to maintain. It's around £35 for a replacement black cartridge.
Overall
If you want a simple printer for personnel use with good quality colour prints and occasional text print this is this printer for you its also great value for money.
