Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I recently purchased this printer after reading favorable reviews in PC publications. I was mainly interested in photo printing but wanted more versatility in order to reduce the clutter on an already overloaded desktop. I've been nothing but impressed with the printer since taking it out of the box.
Setup was easy, although the steps are in an unusual order compared to other printers/peripherals that I've installed in the past - pay attention to the setup poster.
It prints beautiful photos with vivid color and crisp detail. However, the speed has been the pleasant surprise: I typically print a 4x6 at the highest resolution in about a minute and an 8x10 in under four. Plain paper printing is also very good for everyday documents.
The copier, scanner and fax functionalities all work as they should. An intuitive control panel and LCD display make every function very easy to use. The bundled software also allows control from your PC console and it's one of the nicer ones that I've seen (i.e. you can program your fax numbers from the PC rather than the printer's keypad and can even instantly import information from Outlook).
The gripes that I have are minor compared to the output that this machine produces. First, it is a very big printer - the pictures don't do it justice. Second, it jerks back and forth while printing enough to cause minor vibrations in my desk. I recommend figuring a way to put it on its own dedicated printer cart. Third, for the price, it would have been nice to have the second paper tray thrown into the deal - every now and then I waste a piece or two of photo paper on the grocery list because I forgot to swap out the paper.
To recap,
PROS
* Excellent print quality for both photos and documents
* Print speed
* Ease of use
CONS
* Bulky unit doesn't belong on most desktops
* High price doesn't include some extras that it should
