Advantages: Prints up to A3 size, prints high quality prints

Disadvantages: Only one paper tray, no screen when using USB port.

I really like this printer. Firstly it is made by a good brand who know what they are doing.
This printer prints up to A3 photo quality size and prints onto all types of paper. The speed of the printer is very good, even at high quality it prints at good speeds.
The quality is fantastic, i have only ever had one problem with it when the paper got a little stuck but this was partly my fault as i had not loaded the paper correctly. Apart from that nothing has gone wrong with it.
There is only one paper tray though, so if you have A4 paper loaded and you want to print onto A3, you have to swap the paper around.
There is a USB port on the front so you can print images straight from a USB drive, the only problem is there is no screen so its not easy to know what you are printing, i recommend just connecting it to a computer.
The price is a little steep but this is slowly falling.
It is a good A3 printer producing good quality images.

Summary: Good printer and fantastic if you need prints in A3
