Geoff, London , “carer on benefit.”

+ Compact,eye pleasing,easy functions,control buttons obvious & easy to use,lighted ink level indicator.

- Ink cartridge price ridiculous,more than the printer itself,which smacks of rippoff.

Louise, Cardiff , “Female, Student”

+ It doesn't take a great deal of effort to install, it's quick and easy to use and doesn't take ages to warm up like many other printers. Particularly good if you suddenly find yourself needing to print/copy/scan in a hurry. All you have to do is turn in on and go!

- The ink is very expensive to replace and the colour cartridges don't last particularly long.

Anonymous verified purchaser , “Student.”

+ I have been using this printer for a month. Setting up was easy. Prints fast and good quality. Scanning is ok. Overall it seems to be a pretty good printer.

- Makes a lot of noise while it prints and when it prepares itself to print. No USB cable included. A good cable costs around half the price of the printer.

+ Very easy to install as guide leaflet was very easy to follow. After plugging in all leads the computer took over to complete the installation. The directions for the various functions are also to follow. The machine is an inexpensive all in one copier giving excellent copies.

- There aren't any bad points that I have noticed so far.
