Advantages: Print quality

Disadvantages: None

I purchased this printer for the kids to do homework, but have used it more for myself. The print quality is exceptional. i.e better than a lot of those photo booths you find in Boots etc. You can print to the very edge of all paper sizes upto A4. For this level of print quality at under £100 is great value for money.
I found the Claria ink pack for under £40 including delivery. This is for 6 ink cartridges, so under £7 per colour. I prefer to use seperate colours as you only have to replace the colour used rather than an entire combined colour cartridge.

As with all photo printers the best results come with using the best photo paper, and amazingly this printer was bundled with a pack of 7x5 Epson Premium Glossy paper.
I tend to use this printer for making A4 size copies of select photos. It really does justice to high resolution imagery.

Summary: A great budget photo printer
