Advantages: Excllent print quality
Disadvantages: Over priced cartridges
Without a doubt, the 760 is a fantastic printer, and with a print resolution of 1440 dpi (dots per inch) no-one can deny that. The printer package itself is excellent, with being supplied with a selection of special papers, such as photo paper, glossy paper, and a few sheets of normal paper. The supplied software is also excellent, which includes many utilities to keep your printer running in tip-top condition, to keep it clean and to keep it running at peak efficiency. Using the special papers, and selelecting the correct paper settings in print setup, really does unleash the printing power of this exceptional printer. It will print photographs as if you had just picked them up from the shop, on proper photo paper. The printer is fairly cheap as well, considering its excellent quality, and retails at between £129.99 and 139.99, with that you get a good helping of special paper, and 1 black and 1 colour cartridge. There is only one part about this printer which I must moan about. That is the price of replacement cartridges. For official print cartridges for this printer are quite expensive, around £18.99 for a colour, and around £20.99 for a black (which is considerably smaller that the colour). So when you need to replace them both it is usually around £40 for a bit of ink!!! Sure, you could use third party cartridges in your printer, but I find that the print quality is noticable reduced. All in all, and excellent printer.
