This is a good printer, accurate, reasonably quick. However, the quality isn't up to photographs which is a shame. They will just come out looking poor quality sadly.
The biggest problem with this printer is the expense in buying new ink cartridges which it gets through amazingly fast. Each one is about £20 and can only be bought from dell. The ebay ones are useless as they only last a few pages for this printer.
However, for a cheap printer, this is really good as it is reliable and with constant use it doesn't let me down. Its perfect for someone at university like myself as it is small and will print of the journal articles and essays easily.
I think it is a worthwhile buy, but only if you aren't planning on doing major printing on a daily basis, much better for the occasional user who jsut need it to do the basic job.
