| This printer family is wonderful if you do a lot of printing. The printers are pretty costly, but because you can replace each color of ink separately, and replace the printing jet heads for each color separately also, you can save a lot on replacement supplies. These ink cartridges hold a *lot* of ink. By comparison, with a lot of cheap printers, if the yellow runs out, or the holes in the magenta printing jet plug, you need a whole new cyan-yellow-magenta ink-and-jet cartridge -- and the cartridges usually hold very little ink. This type of ink has excellent darkness range, from very faint gray to very high-contrast black. The color cartridges have great color range. Together, the overall color range is almost as good as a specialty "photo" printer, but the ink doesn't cost nearly as much. While it really looks great on fancy paper, it works well even on cheap paper... Large cartridge of intense black pinting ink. Had no trouble installing and using. I consider it excellent value. I have had inkjet printers and laser printers and other kinds too. But this is the first time I have had a printer that sports an ink cartridge that actually warns me in advance when it is getting low in ink! The software connected with the printer and ink cartridge will give you a message on your screen that your ink level is low, and even shows you a graphic picture of approximately how low it is, and tells you what will happen when the ink totally runs out (that is, it will stop printing altogether -- unlike other printers that continue to spit out blank pages). The print quality is great, and the cartridge seems to last a good long time. It is easy to replace and install. Who could ask for more? |
