Rachel, Bedale

Score 9.0/10

+ Good size for home use (not too big), print quality is excellent - the photos are much better quality than my previous printer, the display can be adjusted to different angles which is really helpful when the printer is under the desk. I appreciate being able to just replace the colour of ink that has run out as they are in individual cartridges. Quite reasonably priced for a printer/scanner/copier and overall I am very pleased with it.

- The only down-side I've found so far is that it isn't very quick.

+ Very stylish, extremly easy to use

- Ink cartridges delivered with the machine hardly any ink in them - must order replacements when you buy the printer

Score 8.0/10

+ Very easy to set up out of box, vast improvment over my 15 year old printer. and is solid without being overly bulky
Almost idiot prof to use with good menus on the pop up LCD screen and on the PC when printing, love the ease of scan to print or scan to PC

- Seems to use a lot of ink compared to my last printer ( but cartridges are cheaper), and the draft printing is so faint as to be almost unusable.
To get the best from this printer you must use the right paper and good quality paper for the job, like photos, my old one would do a reasonable job on any type of paper.

Andrea, Sandhurst , “Freelance Surveyor/Project Manager”

Score 9.0/10

+ When my old printer finally bit the dust I was simply looking for a replacement...but ended up with an all-in-one! for an extremely good deal. I've yet to use the scanner, but being able to produce really good quality copies is fanatastic!

- This probably sounds a little odd, but it's quite fiesty and noisy the way it grabs the paper to print on to. Something a little smoother and gentler would have been nice, i.e the paper quietly glides into the feeder :o)

Mary, London , “lecturer”

Score 7.0/10

+ The print quality and the easiness of the controls make this a good product. There is also a range of options that I haven't really explored yet - but it looks good.

- I bought this printer for the advertised speed, but so far, it doesn't seem to be printing at nearly that speed. I guess it isn't slower than others, but I am a bit disappointed it isn't faster.

Reena, London

Score 6.0/10

+ The print quality is great, not too big, easy to operate and install.

- A huge disadvantage is the amount of ink that is used which gets used up in a very short space of time and for this reason I would not recommend this product. It is also quite slow.

Lisa, Greater London

Score 6.0/10

+ It works as a scanner, photocopier and printer. It is a good size.

- It is quite noisy and not particularly fast. The photo-print quality is not very good, because it uses a limited number of colours; there is not a lot of texture or depth.
