Advantages: quick and quiet when printing

Disadvantages: very heavy! pain to clean

This was the first printer I purchased as a business printer as I wanted something compact, laser as I was told it would be better for my purposes and alot cheaper then others. I did get it cheap so thought I was onto a good thing.
Its small and compact very easy to fit into a small space but it is extremely heavy I found too heavy for me to pick up and move. Its very fast at printing (to what Im used to anyway) 16 pages per minute (A4) and also quiet when printing. It has 4 coloured buttons on the front of it that flash to tell you if something needs doing-i.e paper loading. It comes with a pull out paper tray that sits at the bottom of the printer and the printed docments come out of the top. The paper try is great as it has lots of different sizes you can self adjust yourself by moving some sliders round.
The back all opens up for replacing/cleaning the cartridges. There are a fewcolours in the back (black, pink, blue yellow etc) and you have to be so careful with these as it is inkjet the colours are like chalk dust and go everywhere if the printer is knocked about which results on colours mixing and the printer not working, for me the printer was not any use as the picture (photographs) quality was not good enough and I couldn't get my cartridges clean enough to work better. Bt from what I ave read everywhere else it is only me thats had this problem.

Summary: great laser printer prints quickly very compact and alot cheaper then other printers
