Advantages: High quality photos, Screen on front, USB and Card Reader, Easy to use

Disadvantages: May take some setting up for perfect photos, Bit slow starting up and getting ready to print

I've had this printer for over a year now and although it takes a while to start up and start printing its one of the best printers iv'e ever had. I don't print too often but when I do its usually photos and this printer produces very good quality prints on photo paper, although I had to do a bit of tinkering with the advanced colour options to get the photos looking like they do on my screen and the brightness needed to be put up alot to really bring out all the colours and details in the pictures. Printing a long document is fairly fast not the fastest you can get but its quite a good speed. The best feature of the printer is the screen on the front this allows you to print photos from memory cards and even some digital cameras through the usb socket without even turning on the computer. All head cleaning, test prints, head alignment etc are done through this screen so its quick and easy it even shows you how much ink is left .This printer cost me about £100 when I bought it but that was a while ago so its probably alot cheaper now and the ink cartridges are very cheap also so I highly recommend this printer to anyone who needs to print high quality photos.

Summary: Good printer for people who need to print good quality photos for low cost
