A Few Warts But Still the Best for the Price

 

First of all, do not (DO NOT) buy the off-brand cartridges for this printer. The low-yield (1000+ pages) ones that originally came with this lasted us with daily usage for over a year. Second, the off-brand ones we bought had really bad coverage around...

Great printer!

 

A Really good printer! I highly recommend this to anyone with a small business. While its not perfect, it does perform really well! I use this printer for my photography business; not to print photos, but for printing envelopes. Open the back tray,...

Doesn't stand up over time

 

I bought this printer in Nov 2009. At first I was fairly happy with it. I had to readjust my color settings to get it to print at an acceptable level. After a few months, I got this annoying dot running through everything in the same place...

Great Printer; Lousy Cartridges

 

This printer worked great for a while. Then the cartridges started to "leak". I thought, at first, that it was one badly manufactured cartridge, but it's happened with every cartridge I've used. I've bought several cartridges and they all seem to have...

Many problems.

Consumer review by:

Problems Galore

 

Many problems. Envelopes get murdered (unless you turn unit around and flip levers under back cover when doing envelopes) Stops printing when ink level is around 1/2 (cover the toner eyes to get more copies) Rollers won't grab the paper from fold down...
