- Not compatible with adobe software. thinks it is printing from 'letter' format from InDesign CS3 when document set to 'A4' format. Borderless from InDesign impossible to print. Have to print with borders. Maybe does not like Windows Vista. Or maybe does not like the latest updates on Adobe. In any case, paper size a real problem.

Mike, Tunbridge Wells , “an enthusiast not expert”

Score 9.0/10

+ Not a lot of use so far but seems impressive to date. Easy to set up. Excellent print quality. No regrets over purchase

- No photo card slot and no network connection. Heavy and big, but there again it is an A3 plus printer.
