Anonymous verified purchaser

+ Incredibly easy to set up.

- Can't get the ink cartridges in your local store at present. You'll have to order some new ones as soon as you get the printer, as the supplied ones don't last long.

Jon, Sandhurst, Berks , “Graphics or photo printing”

+ Wireless connectivity is good, and setup is very easy. Scanner is good quality, and the printer unit looks good in my house.

- Uses an awful lot of ink when photo printing. Generally slow and noisy. Often prints photos a little bit darker than on screen displays.
