What reviewers say
Reviewers see it as a decent budget printer for occasional home use, with good print quality and strong scanning. Both note that the small cartridges run out quickly, so it suits light use rather than regular printing; RTINGS found photos detailed but grainy and not colour-accurate, and PC Guide found set-up slow and colours less vivid than some rivals.
