Advantages: sleek looks, not the ususal vanilla unit in the corner, quiet
Disadvantages: Slight premium when initially buying the printer, some ink can be expensive

...I was fearful of the Canon ink being at a premium.This has proved not to be the case, with the ink no dearer that other manufacturers. The cartridge set up on this printer lends itself to to ink economy with its separate units, and that is all before you even consider ink re-sellers. Quiet in operation, superb printing in all modes, including photo reproduction, excellent connectivity and great looks make this a definite recommendation ... Read review

Advantages: Perfect CD printing, Photo paper printing and normal paper printer quality!
Disadvantages: Large in size and has a few problems in CD printing (as explained in main review)

...ink being not even geniune Epson Ink, was perfect and high quality. The problems that i had was after i set everything up, and was about to test print my first few CDs, the printer said something was blocking the printer head. I had to restart the printer several times, and restart the computer 2 times to get it back to working/printing condition. What i learned was that when you want to print on CDs, you turn on the printer, and wait until it has ...
...ebay, and really it does not affect image quality as i have been using Epson for years and never bought genuine epson branded ink. Plus you can save a lot by buying Epson (in particular R285) because you can buy a CISS system for it reducing your printing costs significantly!!! ... Read review

Advantages: photos
Disadvantages: cost of ink

HP are one of the leading printer manufactures in the UK at the moment, this is simple because their printers not only offer great quality of print but they also offer anyone printers for any needs which targets the whole of the printer market out there. The HP PhotoSmart D7360 touch screen is an quite large 86mm in size. This offers the ability to view photos on a great quality colour screen and the ability to even edit them too before you press ...
...the only bad thing about HP cartridges are there quite expensive. Looking on eBay though the cheapest I have found all these six for is about £25 altogether. Which isn’t that bad as it works out at around £4 per cartridge which will last you quite along time, especially if you don’t really print much things off. The actual print quality for this printer is really good and even though I was expecting quite a good print from this one, ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant Prints, Individual Cartridges, Good Tech.Support
Disadvantages: Sometimes hard to find cartridges

...It has a connection for Canon cameras that have the some connection. USB connection Power lead. Individual cartridges. The best thing I've found about it is that I don't have to fork out over £20 for a cartridge at a time, instead the choice that having individual cartridges means that I pay around £9 a time for colour and £11 for black. The print quality is fantastic and its easy to choose which settings you need. It also has the ability in ...
...much more. The only problem I have ever found is that sometimes it can be hard to find the cartridges, this was a particular problem when I first got it but now its a little older its easier. The print quality is amazing, I was so impressed, the tech support is great too. There are drivers to download for free on the internet which helps a great deal, especially if you use it for one or more computers and/or lose the CD with the drivers on. When ... Read review

Advantages: economical
Disadvantages: A bit of messing around to use third party cartidges

I have had this printer for over a year now - I bought it when they had just hit the market. Looking at the price now brings a tear to my eye (£54 is an absolute bargain). I shopped around at the time & paid around £90. Cartridges were a bit expensive, but third party cartridges are now available & remember that the use of four separate ink tanks prevents a lot of wastage. The installation of third party cartridges does require the removal & refitting ...
...is logged by the printer - so bye bye warranty! I would say it is quite economical with the ink - I have only replaced the cartridges a couple of times & it does see a reasonable amount of use. If you use the bottom paper cartridge, the lid can stay closed & it looks really neat on the desk. Major benefit is the direct printing of CD/DVD's. Amazing quality. I don't tend to use the printer for photo printing a great deal - but when I have the quality ... Read review
