Advantages: Photo Quality, Photo Display screen,

Disadvantages: Expensive

Print Quality - The print quality on paper is as you would expect after paying this much for a printer. However, it really excels when it comes to printing photos. It has a special slot for standard sized photo paper and the quality of these photos is equal if not better than taking it to one of the photo printing kiosks.

Features - It can scan directly to a USB stick which is great if you need to get photos into documents. It also has an inbuilt memory card reader so you can put in your camera memory card and use the in built display to cycle through the pictures, enabling you to select which ones you wish to print, rather than using those annoying programs supplied with your camera.

Wireless - The unit uses wireless/Bluetooth to connect to your PC/laptop enabling you to print from anywhere in the house.

Set Up - Not the simplest unit to set up, but given what it does you wouldn't expect it to be, you do need to install software on any computer prior to using it.

Cartridges - The cartridges don't last as long as other printers I have had, but then again I never used to print photos off. The printer display will show the cartridge levels after each print, and will display notifications when a cartridge is getting low so you get plenty of warning time to order a replacement, so no surprises!

Expensive, but great quality printing and lots of features!

Summary: Worth paying the extra money for!
