Bought for printing out mainly text as I was starting college, upon unboxing I found that there was no black ink cartridge supplied. However, if you scout around amazon, you will find that number 17 and 27 ink cartridges are extremely cheap, so I ordered a no 17 black for around £7. After having done so, the printer was still cheaper than most of the competition. I now mainly use it for photo printing on glossy 4x6 paper. For this the quality is good enough, though it doesn't do borderless. The main advantage of this printer is the refill possibilities. The coloured caps come off the cartridges and they are very easy to refill. I run mine - I kid you not - on food colouring. There is no reason why not, the colours printed are rich and if it ever breaks the print head, the cartridge would have been in the bin long ago so it is no loss (the print head is built in to every cartridge). I have done around 80 4x6 pictures as well as some A4 pictures since buying the printer and I have not yet bought a new cartridge. This makes the biggest problem of owning this printer - the expense of keeping it full of ink - no longer a problem. (If you don't want to experiment yourself, look on youtube, there are tutorials showing you how to open the cartridges)
