Harry, Gants Hill Ilford , “Frequent home user”

Score 5.0/10

+ It all works well BUT see below

- The inks do not last for very m,any pages and are dear to buy. Do you make a high capacity black cartridge for this model. I have seen a TO711H (high capacity) but it does not appear to fit my machine. Can it be modified to do so?

Anonymous verified purchaser , “Frequent home user”

Score 8.0/10

+ Easy to set up with instructions and disk supplied. (O/S Windows XP Home edition) Worked first time. Good quality prints. Menu on printer screen clear and easy to navigate. A decent buy for the price.

- No usb cable supplied with this printer.(Fortunately I had a usb cable from my old epson printer which fitted ok) A little on the noisy side but not much worse than my old printer. You don't notice it after the initial first test print.
