+ good scans
+ super photo printing
+ generally prints super
- Excessive ink consumption when cleaning
- Slow as it cleans every now and then when you want to print
The printer cleans itself before every print and before switching off and sometimes in between. Not only does this take a long time, but it also seems to use a lot of ink. I only print in colour sporadically. The colour ink level drops steadily even when I don't use it. For people who print a lot in colour, preferably a lot at once, it doesn't matter that much. For me, it's a bummer!
Conclusion: Prints well, but you have to be patient and don't be surprised if the printer wastes a lot of ink, even if you only use it for scanning or b/w printing.

I also appreciate product reviews. They often help with the purchase decision. But being asked to rate an ink cartridge is a bit too much.
1. you have already bought the printer in which this cartridge fits. You (like me) do not have much choice to buy another matching product. Other cartridges simply don't fit in the printer (yes, there are refill stations and generics, but only these are available from the manufacturer).
2) Amazingly, the cartridge does exactly what it is supposed to do. It prints. My high expectations of this product have been met. My printer prints again.
