Advantages: fast, accurate and good quality printing

Disadvantages: difficult to find cartridges

I got this printer as as a bundle with my new computer from Dan technologies, so I was expecting it to behave well (Dan have developed a reputation for decent computer packages).
Even so , I was impressed the first time I used this. The installation was a complete doddle - put in the disc, and everything worked just fine. The only difficult part was trying to see which of the little lines that the printer offered was the straightest, in order to get the alignment settings correct.

The first thing I did was turn off the voice -who on earth thought that a talking printer was a turn on? Then I gave it a test print on a picture from the supplied disk. That's where I really became inpressed. The quality is faultless, and the print time was really quite speedy.The machine makes a terrible racket as it feeds the paper through, so it's quite good that the print job didn't take too long.

I haven't given it a full run through yet, but the sales person also told me that it is able to re-align perfectly and it certiainly does seem to get the page completely straight each time, not like my old H-P laser printer which could never feed the paper in straight - very annoying when trying to print a professional document !

So far, my only complaint is that it is really not that easy to find the cartridges. I haven't yet looked at websites, but not many shops stock even compatible cartridges.

If I have any problems on further use, I'll update this review !
