Advantages: Fairly compact, good value, quiet, economical to run

Disadvantages: Quite a fiddly user interface

We recently purchased this unit to replace a HP G70 all in one unit which we had been using for 2-3 years.

Straight away it is obvious how technology had come on. It was much smaller - and the print quality is now almost up to laser standard (we only used to use the HP for colour and faxes as the quality wasn't up to much).

The unit uses 5 cartridges - one large black and 4 smaller ones - which are economical to buy. The software interface is good and easy to set up. The unit is ultra quiet - and in 'quiet mode' you can hardly hear it. It is also nearly as fast as our laser.

My only critisim is that the control panel on it isn't the easiest to use and i've had to delve into the manuals a few times to find out how to do things (I believe that these days you should be able to solve most things using menus!)

Highly recommended. I bought mine for £172+vat from www.ebuyer.com - who delivered within a week (cheaper the longer you wait)!

Summary: Good spec, good quality - economical machine.
