Price-performance ratio top for me
I bought this printer because I print out a lot in my private life and my previous ink cartridge printer is a real ink guzzler. Therefore, I bought an ink tank printer to reduce my costs.
The print quality of pictures and text is much sharper than with my old printer (which was also designed for photo printing). The colors are very vibrant and rich. Refilling the ink tanks is very easy and quickly done. Even the print heads and maintenance cartridge can be replaced. Therefore, I hope that the printer will be very durable.
The printer comes without a color display but with a black and white pixel display. I think this is quite sufficient for the price, since you can control the printer via the Windows or iOS/Android app just as well.
It is best to add the printer to the network using the iOS/Android app. This is definitely the fastest and easiest way.
The only shortcoming I have noticed so far: It can sometimes take 1-2 minutes for the printer to receive a print job and start printing.
Since the last software update this seems to work much faster (20-30 seconds). I hope that the manufacturer will continue to maintain the software.
My conclusion: For the price, I find the print quality, the sharpness of printed text, the color image and the low ink costs ingenious. Since the print heads and the maintenance cartridge are replaceable, I hope to be able to use the printer for many years to come.
I hope Digitec will add the ink cartridges for this printer to their product line, because I haven't found a supplier that sells them yet.Pro
