There is a USB port on the front so you can ...  Read the complete review

Naturally, I had expected results on a A3 sized print to be at least equally as poor! The majority of printers are perfectly usable because most people only have need for A4 prints but above this size the range for printers becomes much more limited and since this is "A3+" size, ...  Read the complete review
