Advantages: easy to use, print quality

Disadvantages: Uses ink very quickly, cartridges expensive

We bought this computer to upgrade our old Lexmark which had unfortuantely bitten the dust. We got it from Argos for £50 as the one we wanted was out of stock and the retail price of this one was £99. What a bargain. This was an upgrade on all accounts and immediately after printing off the test page I was thinking we have ourselves a little belter here. We immediately put it through its paces as we had 100 wedding invites to print off and it becomes quickly apparent that this thing guzzles ink like there is no tomorrow. Not ideal when you have a bulk printing session lined up and only one of each cartridge. Apart from that, the printer is very easy to use and being an all-in-one the scanner and photocopier are very good. It comes with a software package which makes using all of these things very easy indeed. All in all, I would recommend this printer to someone if you do not do too much printing as the cartridges are also expensive. Not for anyone who prints off pages and pages per day.

Summary: Not for people who do a lot of printing
