Advantages: excellent photo and text quality, easy to use, cheap running costs Disadvantages: slow, no borderless A3, not much A3 paper choice, longevity of prints
...I bought some good quality HP A4 photo paper to start with and the colour accuracy - to what it was on my computer screen - was amazing. It was exactly right. Some printers you can spend ages getting the print to look as it does on screen. So far, very impressed. A3 next. I looked around for A3 paper and was a bit disappointed with the choice. Canon and Epson have A3 paper readily available, but I couldn't find any HP A3 paper in shops. I don't like ... ...the images produced from the HP are just as sharp, if not sharper in some cases.

Advantages: Effecient, fast, durable Disadvantages: none found yet

The printer gives out color prints in almost less ... ...pretty cheap which comes at around 2000 rupees that is around 42$. The servicing of the printer takes very less time and the printer has a warranty of around a year.
The overall efficiency of the printer is too good and the printer works almost on everything, ranging from networks to usb cords, without any glitches. ...

Advantages: Very fast with excellent photo printing clarity! The ink lasts ages! Disadvantages: It is quite big and bulky but if you have a desk no problem!
If your looking to mainly print out documents with the occasional picture this printer is ideal! It has the benefits of a photo printer but has the speed of a document printer. Highly recommended!
Create marketing materials in-house Finish your print jobs faster Produce vibrant, natural colour in print Make a big impression The cartrdiges for this printer seem to last forever and as I am a student I am forever printing out documents and photo's! ...
