Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It's lightweight, so it's easy to move around. The menu system and front panel * are just the right ones.

Ink costs are very low, especially with generics; the cartridges last a long time. Although some generic cartridges work better than others. Ink lasts forever, great print quality. Purchased to replace an old hp of same price/quality point.

The printer generally works very quickly, but be careful to try printing in the same room as the printer or near to it. Great quality printing and scanning, quick and responsive interface.

Airprint works flawlessly from iphones, ipads, and ipod touches. Easy to set up with wifi and easy to use. Works with mac and windows laptops as well as iphone andipad.

Fantastic printer (with two caveats) you have to be sure that your provider is sending you a good enough signal before you start trying to blame the printer. No problems with printer itself.

I hate this printer so much i am compelled to write a review to prevent anyone else from wasting as much time as i have on trying to get this thing to work. The photocopier function neither improves upon nor degrades the combined scan and print functi...  Read More

Quality


Love that it goes into sleep mode, is energy efficient, easy to install and use, and very user friendly.


Great printer, bit of a pain to use the screen on the printer, been using it for years now, works great.


Scanning is setup to go to both a desktop and laptop and both i have never had an issue with (configured with a password).


If you want fast and i mean fast printing set it to draft quality.

Price


And supplies should save me some money.


The ink price is amazing and the main reson i bought it.


By the way i paid considerably less for my printer.

Packaging/appearance


I've included photos: photo 1 is with the lines i mentioned (it would print them out consistently spaced on photos or on shippi...  Read More

    Ive had this printer for years and while it has its ups and downs


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    After dreading the thought of cleaning the nozzle head it turned out to be a quick 510 minute fix without having to take it apart


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Ive included photos photo 1 is with the lines i mentioned it would print them out consistently spaced on photos or on shipping labels id print out and was printed out yesterday photo 2 printed out today after a quick nozzle clean


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So for the reviews claiming this printer is crap


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It just takes a little patience and not expecting a quick fix


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But rising ink costs and decreasing printer quality at least in lowerend printers led me to look elsewhere


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    And supplies should save me some money


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I did not like how it would pause printing to receive the next print order really slowing the process down when sending several print orders to the queue simultaneously
