The Bottom Line: There is no reason not to get this printer. It is the best i have found yet. and my favorite by far.
I have bought many printers through out the years. This one is by far the best printer i have ever bought. It is a hard working, rugged printer. And the customer service on this printer is exceptionally good. I called them because i did not know what the password to the web management was. When i spoke with them they where very friendly and spoke English clear and you could hear them. They where also very pleasant and happy.
The printer has many options on it such as duplexing and a available second paper tray there is no manual feed tray on this printer. It supports network and usb printing. It also has a pic bridge port on it. Now before you say the photo quality on this printer is very good by my standards. It prints 21 ppm in black and 4 ppm in color.
The toner for this printer is not that cheap but it is worth every penny. it comes with 1500 page cartridge. you can also get 4500 page cartridge which i find to be much more worth it. One think that is not well mentioned in this printer is the override when out option. Meaning that when it says the toner is empty you cant print anymore right? Wrong when you set this option you can print again. it will flash all the lights on the printer thought. I bought toner for it last week from a website for about 200 dollars. i bought the re manufactured cartridges 4500 pages a piece. I am a big fan of saving money and it surprisingly did not drop off any of the quality or colors. I was very impressed by this.
The printer also seems to be able to handle any type of paper you give it. The only tricky part is figuring out how to run the paper back through a second time if you don't have the duplexor. That is tricky but durable.
Over all the printer is very much so worth the money spent for the printer. As i said earlier it is the best printer i have ever bought.
