Great printer

white Reviewed By: snipersas on 9/7/2007
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This printer looks great, first of all. Prints are very fast, at about 2 seconds per page for average quality color prints, and photo prints look very good too. The scanner and copier work well too. Really no complaints about this printer, its the best one ive ever owned.
Cons: The scanner takes an unusually long amount of time to scan a piece of paper at normal settings, and the print cartages are VERY small.
Other Thoughts: I ordered it on labor day around 4PM with standard shipping, it was on my front door by Thursday. Nice prompt shipping, and newegg rocks as usual.

Totally Pleased

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: less than 1 day
Pros: Now this product I've only owned for a day or so. But I've been printing everyday on it and the pages have been in the hundreds. This also goes with Pictures. Thus far the interface with the software has been very easy to use, a 5 year old can print from this printer. The onboard controls are labeled very well and are easy to follow. Although scanner portion is a tad bit too loud, but its better than others that I have used in the past.
Cons: Other than the scanner being too loud I have no real complaints thus far.
Other Thoughts: If you want a moderately price Photocenter printer, this is the one to go with. As its only a little more than hundred bucks, you can't go wrong with this one.

Wonderful Printer

white Reviewed By: HappyCat on 4/21/2009
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Works great.
It prints very nicely, colors look great, and it doesn't use to much ink. The refill ink isn't expensive.
It has a bunch of features.
The scanner works great, it take little while, but nothing big.
One of the best printers I've owned; I have bought $20 printers before and I had to keep replacing them, because they would break.
And it is user friendly, my Mother can get on plug in her Sd card and print pictures.
The Small screen looks great, it is very user friendly.
Easy to hook the printer up.
The printer itself is eye candy.
Works with Windows Vista 64 bit.
Cons: None so far.
Other Thoughts: Buy it, if you need a all in one printer.
