Advantages: Printer quality will lost for many many years

Disadvantages: please check my Drawbacks list

I had brought this printer particularly to print my beautiful photos. Based on my experience the photos quality is simply superb. I have stuck few A3 size (bigger scenery photos) photos on my room walls without any laminations, already few months ago and I'm cleaning dust with cloth once in a while but still the photo print quality is very good, not seen even small shading on the print. I never had seen this kind of print quality in my life time. I recommend this printer to buy for printing photos.

Drawbacks with this printer:

* It takes hell a lot of time to initialize the printer (minimum 15 to 20 minutes) by this time your 5 to 10% of ink cartridge will become empty.
* It consumes too much of ink and ink bags are sky high price.
* After a few months the whole printer with full of aerosol ( full of ink)
* Printing time is very very....slow
* Very bad paper skew happens once in a while (particularly when you print smaller size photos)

It is not recommended to buy, if you are looking for cheaper photo printer. This printer maintenance cost is to high

Summary: It is not recommended to buy
