- Only three sheets of paper and a 'trial' ink cartridge included in package which means have to purchase ink and paper very quickly after purchase.

Roy, Isle of Wight , “Retired nearing 80 years”
Score 7.0/10+ Easy to use as a standalone printer with input from SD card -as yet not tried with a recently purchased PC. Adequate for printing small numbers of photographs for the non professional user who does not seek high quality processing.l
