Print quality- If average print quality is required, the printer is ideal for you. Overall print quality is nothing more than okay. Text prints are fat and chunky with uneven edges. Photo print quality is awful with image fuzziness and no clear detail. Text over colour printing is smudged or blemished. The only real eye catching thing to prints is the wonderful bright ink colours and quality at 2400×600 resolutions. Excellent quality ink means nothing if the print quality is pathetic. Photo prints are produced at 4 pages per minute and text or graphics prints at 16 pages per minute. Almost no warm-up time is required with first page text prints popping out under 18 seconds and colour 26 seconds. The copier feature works like a dream with super quick 16 pages per minute black and white and 4 pages per minute colour copying. However the copies themselves especially of photo’s are of the same quality as normal prints, not good.
