Neat and good quality copies

Compact so it fits on the existing shelf of the PC desk. Good scanning and copying.

Instructions for usage difficult to follow because the printed version does not tell you about scan etc. capabilities or operations. You have put the CD in to find that. Buttons for "copying" not intuitive.

A great all rounder - the individual inks mean cost of ownership should be lower than some other models, and it's simplicity itself to set-up, install and operate. I've been very impressed and am very happy with my purchase.

None so far - I suppose the only thing I can find to say at the moment is that it's not a great looking device - very dull, it almost looks as though it was designed 10 years ago, but I'm afraid this is a case of function outperforming form!

Brother DCP163C

 

Easy to set up. Black printing very good, Considerable advantage in having separate colour cartridges. Having three functions in one is very useful.

Cleans itself after each use which, I would have thought, uses ink. Not straight forward to load driver for Windows7. Scanning to Email defaults to Wndows Live Mail. Paper tray seems a bit delicate. Whole product somewhat bulky. No longer produced by...

the inks last longer. it was cheaper to buy another printer than to buy a full set of hp inks,this should not be the case. we now have a spare printer with nothing wrong with it

the colour dont seem as bright than the printer it replaced it seemed a little dull. ithink the printer it replaced was better (hp photo smart c6280)

Quick, quiet, seems to use ink well, cheap printer inks, easy to use.

Doesn't really allow for easy change of different paper types, but paper tray really good.
