Advantages: Very very VERY cheap to run, if you know what you are doing. Reasonable quality
Disadvantages: No USB cable supplied

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 ...
...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 ... Read review

Advantages: easy 2 use, a range of printing techniques
Disadvantages: read on

I bought this printer and it offers good colour quality. As ink ject printer, it is slow but it id good quality and you can print leaflets, flyers as we. The picture quality isn't perfect but it is alright for personal use at home. I found the printing speed average on pictures and document. The colour on output is good as long as your settings are good which you do at the start up. It is easy to use and you connect it by USB and the installation ...
...printed documents and I have faced no problems - a year so far - but with pictures, it is slower and the quality isn't that good so really it is dependent on what function do you want your printer th perform - fast and good quality output or cheaper and slower alternative. ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap! fast print speed
Disadvantages: low quality

...off coursework i bought this Lexmark z815 for £30 from asda. It came with cartridges in the box so no worries there, it prints text at a reasonable quality and at a reasonably fast speed too. I was very impressed at what i got for such a low price, seeing as i am used to paying almost this amount for one printer cartridge! obviously this isn't the greatest printer ever, it is fine if you just need to print out text but i wouldn't recommend it for ...

Advantages: Small
Disadvantages: only one cartridge at a time

I bought my Z13 at a car boot for only £5 - a real bargain, as it also came with a colour ink cartridge, not used. I got it home and put it in the small space available and it fitted perfectly. It looks really neat and tidy if you fold it all up and can be hidden away in a corner or on a shelf, It is compatible with all the computers I have owned. It connects using USB. The worst thing about this printer as it only has one ink cartridge which means ...
...ink. There are 4 compatible cartridges for this printer, 17,27,16,26. SOFTWARE The software was well set out and very easy to use, and has a lot of functions and the help system is great. and I was impressed as I have had problems with all other USB printers I have owned. It was fast enough for me and it printed photos overall I am very impressed with it and the print cartridge is still going and i have had it 3 months. ... Read review

Advantages: cheap, good for black ink, easy to buy cartridges, "low ink" warning
Disadvantages: annoying software, not so good for colour printing or high quality stuff

...this option from within the Lexmark options screen (via Control Panel), unless you like to hear "Printing started!" in chirpy American every time you press print. Usefully, it'll monitor ink levels and warn you when they get low, with a link to the supplier's website. I get good results generally with black ink, variable with colour (sometimes either the blue or red ink seems to 'cut out'). Occasionally pulls in the paper at a wonky angle, say 1 ... Read review
