- Good points:
- Im sure that if my printer had been in proper working order it would have been fine, it was easy to use and set up, reasonabley priced etc
- Bad points:
- Tthe colours are incredibly faded, I have not had time to go to curries for a refund or replacement yet. Print quality appauling, hugely upset and dissappointed, have tried everything I can think of to fix it. Also the user guide was completely useless.
