Advantages: Looks good, high print quality

Disadvantages: Phantom paper jam error = printer broken

Just a very brief review from me as all of the other reviews have said how good it is (which I agree with...there is a BUT though!).

I picked this up when there was an offer on so the price of the printer ended up at around £20. A bargain. The ink isn't too badly priced around £15 which was half the price of Lexmark. The printer itself looks sleek, and it is quite large so needs a fair amount of space. I have had this printer for around 18 months and had no problems at all with it. The quality of the print for photographs is excellent and the ink lasts a fairly long time (much longer than the software that says "you need new ink" states anyway!).

Anyway, I tried to print the other day and the paper feeder wouldn't work. It just wouldnt roll the paper through and kept giving a "paper jam" error. I have no idea why this happened, I didn't do anything differently. I had a look on Amazon, and there are 17 other reviews thta give this printer a 1 star, and all of them have had the same fault as me so must be a problem with either that batch or a general common fault.

For £25 for 18 months use, its good value and a cracking little printer but don't expect it to last. I'm really gutted that I need to find a new one!!

Summary: Brilliant printer shame about the common fault :(
