Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use the product everyday and as such it is a workhorse, allowing me to print scan edit and electronically file any and all documents. It is simple to use with an intuitive settings page and can be switched between different tasks seamlessly. The Ink cartridges are cheap compared to other brands and with the extra large black reservoir, it will be a long time between cartridge changes. Fantastic piece of kit an absolute bargain based on the RRP.

Pros and Cons

Prints in various different mediums and formats
Scans and edits
Quick Copy Mode
PDf authoring

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.

Alternatives Considered

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

Likelihood to Recommend

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!!
