A daily workhorse that will print and print and print , it is easy on the wallet for ink cartridges and its dead easy to swap out a new cartridge when one runs out. But you get good milegae out of a cartridge and unless you are printing high quality colour photos, the cartridges will last a long time. For its price it packs a punch that a lot of more expensive printers cannot even get close to. I would recommend it to anyone and have done!! A+ 5 stars!!
If you are using it for large-scale printing such as printing plans as we do, this is a great machine to have in your arsenal. Sure, the size can make it somewhat cumbersome, however it is definitely worth it to have in your office. It allows you to print full-size as well as scaled sheets at a myriad of sizes. It also allows you to scan and download edited drawings which is also a major plus.
I mainly print in black and find it incredibly wasteful that the printer just seeps the other coloured ink covers and requires these to be replaced even when I am only printing black. But all printer manufacturers do this, but there must be a better way.
look, its just a great product!! Does what it says it will, with very little fuss and minimal set up. Highly modular and functional. Can be adjusted to meet numerous demands and never complains. it is an absolute workhorse
We use a third party to service our machine so service-wise, it is hard to say. Support-wise, we have plenty of paper stocked and toner on hand should we run out. In my 4 plus years here at the office, we have had maybe one or two times where the machine was down for a day at maximum and then was back in working order immediately.
Canon PIXMA-PRO model is much slicker and easier to integrate into my system, works flawlessly with minimal care or upkeep required. And its cheap for ink cartridges and has the extra large black cartridge which allows you to print and print, much longer than most other printers, without needing to switch out or replace the cartridges
We also use this machine in our office in conjunction with the Teriostar. In comparing the two, the Teriostar is much more versatile. The quality of printing (and ability to print in color) is a big plus for the DesignJet, however, we can do so much more with the Teriostar. In looking at size, they are both comparable in that category.
