Advantages: Wifi, all-in-one functions mean not having to buy a separate scanner and copier
Disadvantages: Expensive ink
I like this all-in-one printer for a few reasons:
- Easy to set up. Not sure about MAC users but I use Windows 7 - shouldn't be that much of a difference.
- Good printing quality for basic documents and colours.
- This particular printer on its own does not cost a lot, and I have used it for almost 2 years without having any problem at all.
- I also like the wifi connections because I can share this printer with my flatmates without any hassle.
This being said, there are a few aspects which I think it can improve on:
- I don't usually print photos, but my friend has tried printing a picture on my printer and the quality is not great. So I think this is only good for basic usage, and not photo printing.
- Ink is expensive and I have to change it quite frequently especially the black ink.
- It is a bit slow at times!
- I am not too bothered by the noise usually, but some people may find it quite noisy while printing.
Summary: Reliable, good for basic everyday use but not photo printing
