    Eats ink too fast. This seemed like a good printer when we got it. But.. we soon found out that it doesn't print 2 sided without jamming up.. every single time! Then, we found that it either uses way too much ink or the tanks are so small that we need to replace in twice as often (at a higher price per set) than any of our Canon printers. Not impressed with this machine at all. We weren't looking for perfection but this thing doesn't even match up to its own specs.

    Fantastic Purchase We bough this shortly after the holidays and I'm thrilled we did so. The quality has been fantastic! We print a fair bit (online sales and labels, kids coloring pages, Hobby related fun) and it took a solid 3-4 months before we needed to replace the black ink cartridge. We've printed sparingly in color but at this point it's looking like this was the best pre-pandemic purchase we could have made. The range on the wireless seems to be solid as well. We've got this situated in the basement and sending a prin... read more

    Good printer I like this printer and have used it for multiple projects. Cons: Like most printers these days, it wastes a lot of ink "testing" the ink whenever you put in a new cartridge and cartridges do not last very long (I miss the days of old printers that were much better built and lasted longer). The display is a little finicky but once you get the hang of it, it isn't hard to get the printer to do what you want it to do. Pros: I was able to print invitations beautifully on pearl paper and everybody wanted to know whe... read more

    Great product and excellent price Great cost/quality product. Easy to use from your phone, laptops, desktop.. Scans very well and fast enough. Ink won't last long though

    Easy setup and user friendly software The touch screen does take some getting used to. But I have to admit that I didn't exactly read all the instructions. I get it now. It was pretty easy to set up and use, but I did have to go online for the drivers. Overall I am pleased.

    Awesome printer This is my favorite printer. The print quality is great and the ink efficiency seems great so far. The scanner is great because you can sheet feed it or scan page by page. The scans are very high quality.
