Advantages: Excellent quality and speed, easy to use

Disadvantages: original ink expensive

I bought this printer some eight months ago. It has continued to impress me with both its speed when needed, and its quality.

The test photos provided which you can print looki astounding with ink dots almost impossible to see, except on very light areas. I have printed out many a photo on it, sticking with 6" x 4" paper because of its availability and because my digital camera is "only" Imegapixel and may struggle for resoultion.

The printer does struggles with large grey areas - my daughter sschool cardigan in this case - which comes out very red spotted. I assumed that this may be a problem with all printers, and indeed my father in laws newer 870 also struggled though less so. The extra 2 colours may have helped, or the drivers may be improved. But this is the only photo that I have seen problems with.

The printer comes with Photoshop 3.1 - basic but adequate to start with. Ink can be expesive though there are many many generic inks around at half the price which I am about to try out.

The rpinter has consistenly ranked in the top one or two in many magazines for many months. It continues to get cheaper and cheaper. Search around, you could get a bargain
