What reviewers say
Reviewers agree it prints high-quality, vivid photos at a very low running cost and scans well, making it a good fit for photography and creative projects. The common criticisms are slow printing, especially on plain paper, the lack of automatic two-sided printing and no main paper drawer; Trusted Reviews also thought it expensive to buy.
