Price at time of review.
Cheap, easy to use and quick. But the quality on offer lets it down.
6 out of 6

"Looks great, but printed photos are a let down."

Pros:
I like that I can put the smaller photo paper in, and there is a separate place incase I want to print dvd/cd covers. (I have never used this feature)

Cons:
It takes ages to print a document from the computer. The photos dont come out the best quality.
I have had this printer for about 6 months. At first I thought it was great, but it wasn't until I really started paying attention to the outcome of the photos that I really felt let down.

When a photo has been scanned, the scanned picture seems quite blurry.

Cheap to buy, cheap to run and bundled with features; print quality holds it back from greatness.

The fastest card we’ve seen, but the performance boost doesn’t justify the price.
