Advantages: Fast and reliable. Borderless priniting

Disadvantages: No on printer screen andlack of extra features

As far as middle of the price range printers go, you can't do better than the Epson R285. It is billed as a photo printer but it is so much more than that. Features obviously include the ability to print your photographs, at the various standard sizes, but it also allows borderless printing which means that it can do photographs and prints up to A4 without a white border round the edge. The iks supplied are excellent quality and the printer itself has lots of compatibility with much cheaper inks available out there. This printer also connects to any computer with USB ports to allow document printing aswell as photo printing. This has come in handy for my personalised greeting card business, what with the borderless feature in there aswell. The lifespan is excellent and it is not unreasonable to be able to print a good 1,500 full A4 colour sheets without banding issues arising. The lack of an on printer display may put some off.

Summary: If you just want a good solid middle of the road printer, look no further.
