Advantages: Well designed body, smudge-resistant inks
Disadvantages: inaccurate ink gauge, ink dries up, can't clean cartridges individually

The price was cheap. The design of the paper tray is good. This is the first printer I've had where the paper is not either dropped to the floor (my printer is on a shelf) or sucked back into the roller (Cannon) causing a jam. It had a sturdy feel. The set up instructions were inadequate and unnerving with bits of tape which I wasn't sure if I had to pull off or not before using. Although the ink was expensive, it boasted (and delivered) a reasonable ...
...a document printed on a Cannon!). I liked the idea of separate colour cartridges. I found the print quality perfectly acceptable and used the printer's options to lower the saturation. Draft quality was too poor to be useful but because the printer allows you save a Print Profile, I could set up a suitable equivalent. This latter feature has been very useful - I could specify paper size and orientation. It would have been more useful if it could ... Read review

Advantages: cheap, quick and simple to use
Disadvantages: very expensive ink and prone to leaving streaks

this printer is very much a basic printer, it is quite prone to clogging and leaving streaks on the paper, and recently has decided that it likes to eat paper! saying this though, it was a very cheap printer and does the job quite well, it is not too bad on ink, however doing a comparison against my old printer (same make) it seems to use a lot more black ink. and although the printer was extremely cheap and worth the money, the ink is more expensive ...
...printer was made before feb 07 there are no compatible ink cartridges and the built in chip cannot be tamperede with, but if the printer was made after feb 07, compatibles can be bought. but how you tell exactly when the printer was made, how long had it been sitting on a shelf in a warehouse! i do love the printer, its quite fast and quite clear for its lower end price bracket, and has detachable paper shelfs. great for small spaces. ...

Advantages: cheap replacement cartridges available if you shop around
Disadvantages: ink cartridges can be a pain...

...I decided on an the epson c84 photo edition. I searched high and low, in shops and on the net and am thoroughly satisfied with my choice. I previously had a HP, and I wonder why I never got an epson first! IT's far easier to use, doesn't have bits of bulky plastic sticking out everywhere, This printer comes equiped with a black ink, and one each of cyan, magenta and yellow. There's only a cd manual, sometimes an actual booklet would be useful! After ...
...any other catridges than the epson DURAbrite ink within the warranty period, it will invalidate your warranty. Apparently the printer keeps records of what ink has been used in it. When you change cartridges there is also this annoying warning that comes up to tell you you have just put a non epson ink cartridge in your printer. Overall though, its worth getting the printer and the cheaper inks. Especially if you are a keen photo printer. ... Read review
