Advantages: Easy to use, cheap

Disadvantages: Driver takes time to install

Technology really has come on a long way. This printer is more than just a printer it really is brilliant. It is small, compact so easy to store at home.

I'm not very technologicaly minded so haven't figured out how to use the wireless function but a friend who has this device has and the wireless function is really good and reliable.

Overall, this was very simple to use, it has quick start instructions and took about 10 minutes to set up. The longest part was actually installing the printer driver on our computer.

Once this was uploaded it is very simple to use and well worth the money. It is a printer, scanner and photocopier all in one. It has an SD memory card slot so you can easily upload and print pictures. The quality of printing is actually very good.

It has a little colour screen that tells you what to do which is quite neat. It is easy to follow. When installing ink cartridges I had to scratch my head for a moment or two but if you can read basic instructions (which clearly I struggle with!) then you will be fine as they slot into place quickly and easily.

You can pull down the front cover, and it reveals the paper feed tray and an extra support slides out from its back. It is very compact and neat.

The printer itself can be purchased from £50-£60 and cartridges cost between £10-£15. all in all it is a brilliant and inexpensive printing device.

Summary: Value for money, What a bargain!
