I expect to be pleased with the printer when it is delivered

This is an amazing photo printer if you want to rattle off reasonably high quality prints with little regard for the costs of doing so. I purchased this printer at the beginning of Janruary, in in that time I must have printed 500 photos in a range of sizes, but mostly 5x7. In that time the coloured inks have barely moved, about 1/4 of the black is gone and about 1/3 of the grey (which is mixed with everything for the less saturated colours). While I think the yield of 3800 6x4 images is wildly optimistic unless you only took photos in the arctic, costs are significantly lower than any cartridge based printer I have owned. It really changes the way you approach printing. I have been able to print entire photo albums for relatives, an almost forgotten thing in the digital age. For my nieces 18 birthday I was able to print an entire photo album of her with about 200 images, This printer enabled that day of memories looking through the album, don't think I would have attempted that with my last printer. Pros: Excellent colour gamut Realistic flesh tones Super Easy setup Low running costs Quiet Amazing fun to rattle off prints for everyone Cons: Slow Slightly coarse print resolution Hidden maintenance cartridge costs Consumes grey ink more quickly than you would expect
