Advantages: Quick printing and handy memory card slots.

Disadvantages: Noisy and slow when copying.

I have had this printer several years and have been fairly pleased with it. As a general printer for the PC it gives good results with a quick print speed. I purchased it as I like to print out some of my own photographs at varying sizes. I would say it used to do a very good job of this although I would say the quality does seem to be deteriorating now.

The copier gives good results and if you put it up to the best quality (using the easily navigated menu on the printer) it even copies photographs well. Sometimes it seems to take a long time before it starts to copy and makes quite a bit of noise whilst it "thinks" about it. I have never quite got to grips with the scanner, I used it a few times but struggled with it and have not really had need for it since.

The ability to load in a camera chip is one of its most useful functions, you can even print single photos direct from the memory card without bothering to load them on the computer so can be very quick if you only want a couple of prints. It is also useful for getting photos off the microsd card in my phone/ For the price this is avaiable now I would say it is a good buy for its versatility.

Summary: Excellent value printer with all the knobs and whistles!
