Advantages: print, price

Disadvantages: gets through ink quickly

I'm not the kind of person that gets excited over computer peripherals but I can tell you that this is the best purchase I have made.

The printer has been reduced in price from over £200 to about £150-£160 and gives a quality of print that far exceeds some printers that retail at over £300.

The quality of photo printing (if you use photo paper) is breath taking.
I did a footy club calendar and my mates couldn't belive that a home PC could get such a quality result (unlike my footy team).

The printer is highly recommended in PC mags and on the internet.

The downside is that it seems to eat the ink up, but then I was printing a lot of photos!

Normal printing is fine.

The only problem that some people have relates to the rolls of photo paper that you can use (rather than sheets). Since I don't use this facility I can't comment.

other than that it really is a sexy thing !
(perhaps I am getting too excited !)
