I like how solid it is, it feels a little cheap, but better then I expected from a $30 printer. The fact that allows you to have color and b&w installed together was a big shock; I never expected that from a $30 printer!
For those complaining about it not coming with a black cartridge or USB cable, get over it! Its $30! The cartridges are about $20 each and cheap USB cable is about $4. Do the math, if they included those things then Lexmark would be paying you to take their printer.
If you plan on buying a black cartridge or don''t already have a USB cable then check-out the Z615. It is probably a better value because it comes with those things (it seems to otherwise be the same printer).

Yes, let the buyer beware on this one. As far as I can tell (by putting the specifications and photos side-by-side) the Z611 is is identical to its "big brother" the Z615 (available for about $20 more) with these important exceptions: the Z611 comes with no black ink cartridge or USB cable...and the Z615 does. Saving a few backs by excluding a USB cable I get...but deleting the black ink cartridge? Come on, Lexmark!...I guess the printer business is a cuthroat one. Apart from that, it''s a fine little printer for the price and performs well...but only makes sense if you happen to have a USB printer cable and a Lexmark #16 or #17 black ink cartridge already lying around. Otherwise, save a few dollars by buying the Z615.Read Best Reviews of Lexmark Z611 Color Inkjet Printer Here
I absolutely LOVE this printer. I had to get this printer after looking into it, because it is compatible with my computer system (Windows XP Home Edition). At first, I thought about getting the Z730 model, but had to disregard the thought because I read a number of negative reviews about it and its performance. I bought this Z611 from Wal-Mart (their price was almost $23.00). Another reason why I had to buy this printer was because the other printer my mother and I had (an Epson Stylus C80) had quit working after four years, which came with our computer system (in 2002). The Epson was a color printer and used 4 cartridges (one each of black, cyan, magenta, and yellow). It was a great printer, but the prices of ink for it were kind of mediocre; whenever a cartridge ran out of ink on the Epson, the printer could not be used until a cartridge or cartridges could be replaced, and it would be a while until more ink could be afforded. Anyway, with this Lexmark Z611 printer, the price was decent, it came with a color cartridge (#27), software, etc. Installing this machine was not a problem. Within a few minutes, it started working properly. You also get to choose your print quality, especially "Quick Print", where you can print your document out faster and use less ink. You are also given the option to print out color images in black and white to conserve color ink which is convenient (cancelling the color is also a great idea if that cartridge is low on ink or out). I mostly use "Normal"; I have used "Better" or "Best" occasionally for print quality and the result is very excellent. I learned that "Better" and "Best" print qualities provide much sharper results, but take longer to print out and use up more ink; in that case, to extend color and black ink, these latter two quality settings ("Better" and "Best") should NOT be used too often. You can also use this printer with just a color cartridge or just a black cartridge. You also get an on screen ink level monitor that shows you what your ink levels are whenever you have a print job in progress. Another wonderful thing is that you hear a voice at the beginning ("Printing started") and end of your print job ("Printing complete"). Very neat!! When I bought this printer, I decided to also get a black cartridge (#17), which was almost $20. Using only two different cartridges, one black and one color, getting ink is much easier. Color ink is in one cartridge; not multiple ones. Photo printout is excellent. I have only used plain paper to print out a couple of pictures with this printer; results are wonderful (excellent quality if you use photo paper)!! This is a wonderful printer to get because the price is decent and not one to put a flaw in your budget, and ink cartridges are easily affordable, as well. Get this printer; you won''t regret it whatsoever!! UPDATE AS OF FEBRUARY, 2009--PLEASE NOTE: The ink levels for the #17 black and #27 color cartridges (these are Moderate Yield) will go down quickly if you do A LOT of printing during a few days. For a longer lasting supply of Moderate Yield ink, print sparingly, but you can buy the #16 black and #17 color cartridges. These cost more than the Moderate Yield ones, but will last longer.Want Lexmark Z611 Color Inkjet Printer Discount?
From the reviews here the lack of USB cable is the biggest beef; I''ve been buying USB printers for years and have a drawer-FULL of USB cables and am glad to NOT have to pay Lexmark to include yet another one.Another benefit is the lower-than-average cost of the cartridge; once the included one is used up, the replacement is 50% less than typical cartridges.
Simple, basic printer for the kids/household use.
KudosOK. So no USB cable is included. I bought this as a backup printer so I just used the USB from the unit that''s in the shop. If I hadn''t had one, I may have just purchased the Z615 to save myself a trip to the store.
As for there not being a black ink cartridge, this doesn''t mean the color cartidge doesn''t print black. It does. The purpose of the separate black ink cartridge, according to the manual, is to have the option of printing entirely in gray scale, thereby saving your color ink. I find that a refreshing way of thinking, rather than annoying. Since the color cartridge runs about $18, this is also one of the most economical I''ve come across.
The printer was ridiculously easy to set up. Plug the power cord into your power strip, the USB cable into the printer, then into the computer, install the cartridge, load the paper, install the driver software and you''re off to the races. You don''t even have to reboot your computer after the software''s installed.
You also get a rather neat pop up box during the printing process that "speaks" to you ("printing has started", "printing has ended", etc), shows you what percentage of your print job is completed as you go along, plus gives you an ink level read out. With my Canon S9000 (which I also love, by the way), I had to go into a separate maintenance window to see how my ink levels were doing.
The Z611 isn''t particularly fast but it''s pretty quiet and gets the job done in a reasonable amount of time. I haven''t tried printing photo-quality items yet so am curious how the quality will be.
In all, I''m pleased with it.
Epson LabelWorks LW-300 Label Maker (C51CB69010) Save 35% off

- Amazing variety - 14 fonts, 10 styles, 300+ built-in symbols, over 75 frames and more
- Less waste - smaller margins compared to other brands for up to 62% less waste
- Large built-in memory - store up to 30 files
- Specialty print models and labels
- Easy to use - automatically printed with a split back for easy and fast peeling
First, a caveat: my label maker is a P-Touch that''s a few years old. I don''t know how much the market has matured, so some of these features may be in other machines.
The box includes the labeler, instructions, a printed symbols list, and a sample 4 meter cartridge 12mm black-on-white tape (standard cartridges are 9 meters). It requires 6 AAA batteries which are not included. It can also run off an optional AC adapter.
First and most importantly, Epson has dramatically cut down on label waste at the margins which means big savings on cost. With my Brother, there is a full 1" of waste on each end of the label (I understand on some models this can be modified, but on one end only). Many of my labels consist of 1-3 words, so they might use up .75" to 1.25". For me, that meant I was essentially using 3 times as much tape as necessary. Calculated with 1.75" text length per label (larger than my average), the Brother will make about 84 labels per 26.2'' cartridge.
The Epson, on the other hand, has .375" margins (3/8"). Using the same 1.75" of text, that will net about 142 labels per 29.5'' cartridge. Based on list prices for cartridges, this translates to 22.6 cents-per-label for the Brother vs. 13.9 cents-per-label for the Epson. NOTE: I understand some Brother cartridges are sometimes discounted but since the Epson units were not yet available at the time of this writing, it''s impossible to know how much they will be discounted in comparison. You''ll pay list at an office supply store though, and even with the big discount on *some* Brother cartridges on Amazon, it still nets out about a penny cheaper per lable on the Epson.
Other things I dig about the Epson: a wide variety of fonts, styles and sizes; a well thought-out group of symbols that suit a large number of uses; the size and weight is less than my Brother (partly due to the lesser weight of 6 AAA vs. 6 AA batteries); I prefer the way tapes are loaded; tape cartridges come in 9 meter sizes as opposed to 8 for the brother, making changing tapes necessary less frequently (especially considering the many more labels I can generate with the Epson); a really nice selection of cartridges, including clear, checkerboard, glow-in-the-dark, and iron-on (which I''ve never seen).
All in all, a far better labeler than I''ve ever used before. In fact, the only one I''d prefer would be the LW-400, which adds a two line display and backlighting (as well as expanded fonts, the ability to do barcodes and a few other goodies) that I wish the 300 had.
Still though, I''m not complaining this is a great unit with a ton of flexibility. I''d give it 4.5 stars if I could, but only because another 10 bucks gets you backlighting and a two-line display, which points out what I thought were the only flaws in a great machine. But I''ve round up to 5 based on the extreme waste savings versus other units. If you can spring for the extra 10 bucks for the LW-400, do it if you can''t, you''ll still be extremely happy with the LW-300.

I really wanted to love this label maker, but unfortunately was disappointed in the output. The LW-300 was easy enough to use and has some really great features ... best of all, it centers the print on the label without the annoyingly wasteful one-inch blank space before and after that my Brother P-Touch adds. However, the Epson labels looked like they were typed on an old typewriter with a bad ribbon. When I set the font to "bold," some characters were bold, some not so much. The letter spacing was also uneven, with some of the letters running together. I was also surprised that every time I turned the LW-300 on, I had to re-do all my settings (font size, style, etc.) because they had reverted back to the factory default. There might be a way around that glitch, but based on the so-so looking labels, I decided to return the LW-300 and go back to using my P-Touch instead.Read Best Reviews of Epson LabelWorks LW-300 Label Maker (C51CB69010) Here
This little label maker from Epson is Easy to set up, and easy to use. My disappointment with it is that the edges of the fonts are jagged on the labels. I would expect sharp clean edges on the letters, but the printouts look almost like the old dot matrix printers. I understand that these are just labels, but I would have expected crisper letters.Pros:
Easy to use
Easy to load labels
Lots of choices on fonts/sizes
Easy to peal back off the labels
Reasonable to use for a small keyboard
Cons:
Jagged Edges on fonts
Options menu a little confusing (had to read the instructions)
LCD display a little hard to read
Basically, I would have loved this device if the labels would have had crisper edges on the letters.
Want Epson LabelWorks LW-300 Label Maker (C51CB69010) Discount?
Purchased this at a fantastic price (19.99). I wanted a labeler that would do iron on labels and was tooing and froing between this and the Brother equivalent. I have a Brother P-T90 and have been very happy with it (but unfortunately it can''t do the ''iron ons''), so thought i''d give Epson a try as this LW-300 had great reviews plus i wanted to see the difference between the 2 labelers. I admit the length of the label wastage is less on the Epson, but to be honest, i''d rather have the waste than the flaw in the fonts! I am in the media world so focus a lot on fonts and the look of things, and this Epson LW-300 has blurred characters, as well as irregular spacing between characters. I''ve played around with it a lot, on various settings and can''t find one that i''m happy with. I know it''s just a labeler, not expensive, but wish i had gone with the Brother alternative and paid more. My brother P-Touch prints sharply and puts even spacing between each character. On a plus note for Epson, their labels are much easier to peel as there is a split horizontally through the tape. Forget that last line, i have just discovered that Brother now do similar peeling on their new tapes.disappointed.Out of the box, the machine was slightly bulkier than I expected; but it had a nice aero-dynamic shape and fit nicely in the palm of my hands. The LCD screen is kinda small and not backlit but still clearly visible. The plastic on the unit is of good(but not great) quality.
The rubber buttons on the unit are placed kind of close together so it might be easy to mispress an unintended button. There are many different options for styles, borders, sizes, and colors. With the middle navigation button, it is a breeze to shuffle thru the variety of font options and sizes.
The machine automatically stores/saves up to 30 different label designs. Installation of the print cartridge is quick and easy. You just pop open the back compartment and pop in the label cartridge. The unit has an A/C adaptor slot but does not come with an A/C adaptor.
There''s an included symbol list illustrating all the designs available in the machine. The actual printing is pretty quick. The results look nice and solid. The label protective paper is a little tough to peel off from the label sticker.
The label itself sticks securely to most surfaces. The only potential negative is that the machine does not come with an A/C adaptor. Overall a versatile machine that is fun and nice to play around with. You might end up spending a lot on replacement cartridges though.

- Superior photo quality and sharp text
- Auto 2-sided print, copy and scan
- Intuitive 2.5" touchscreen with gesture navigation
- EPSON Connect - convenient mobile printing
Concerns: I would be a little concerned in using card or label stock in this printer as the heavy paper has to do a 180 in order to print.
Just follow the "Start Here" brochure EXACTLY and the setup should go perfectly. It takes a little time to complete the setup so be very patient. I used my old HP power cord and USB cable. During the setup procedure you can make a test print. My test print came out perfectly. I then made a copy of the test print on the scanner and it made a perfect color match. After that was completed I set up my WiFi connection using the printer panel. Then I sent a photo from my iPhone 5 to the XP-600 which resulted in an ugly print on one of the two 4x6 sample sheets that came with the printer. Now what? Based on a guess I turned the remaining photo paper over with the good side down and did another iPhone to XP-600 print. This time the printer made a perfect photo print. You can also make perfect and fast 4x6 photo copies on photo paper of 4x6 original photos.
If you forget to pull the printed paper catcher tray out when you print the printer will stop and complain. When loading the regular paper tray please pay attention to the white triangle alignment mark on the front of the paper tray.
Summary: This is a whole lot of printer for not that much money and the price has been dropping lately. The software doesn''t talk at you like Lexmark but I don''t expect it to spill black inkjet ink all over my carpet like my late not so great HP printer. The big difference between the XP-400 and the XP-600 is the XP-600 is a faster printer with more resolution and has a bigger black ink cartridge. It also has an extra black cartridge for photos.

I write this only having used the printer for 2 days, but it''s so different from the other printers I''ve purchased, I''m compelled to share my experience. Connected set-up was a cinch. Haven''t set up wi-fi yet but it would appear to be fairly straight-forward. First I need to share that I''m partial to Epson after having used HP, Lexmark, and Canon printers; largely because of Epson ink, which I still think has no equal. Then 3 years ago, my slow but wonderful Epson Stylus 3 in 1 stopping working (though after replacing it I discovered I just had a bad cable; it still works very well, but is very large and unwieldy). It''s replacement was a lightweight Stylus 4 in 1 with extremely inconsistent performance. Because I print a great deal of text in my work, out of frustration last year, I bought an Epson Workforce-60 with the idea that if I just had a good solid printer designed only for printing that was fast, reliable and with quality output, I could still use the 4 in 1 for scanning and copying. What a joke. Seriously, the Workforce-60 has never printed a decent page, can be picked up with one hand and is cheap from one end to the other, like a toy. So again I started my search for the perfect ink jet printer, looking at reviews for about 6 months, but reluctant to buy more of the same!! However, last week, after the toy prevented me from a deadline, enough was enough. Amazingly, after all the reviews and comments, I again settled on Epson this Expression XP-600 which normally listed for $149. Again Amazon''s price rocked and was too good to pass up. I bit the bullet and went for it, though already owning 3 working printers, none of which I could recommend, I allowed myself no preconceived hope.When the delivery man said he would bring it up to the house for me as it was heavy, I thought he was implying I had no strength (I''m an older woman but not weak). But when he handed it over, the weight really surprised me. I thought, hmm, could this actually be a solid printer even with the small footprint? Yes, it absolutely is. After setting it up, I found it takes up less space than any of my other printers, though it copies and scans, has two paper trays and a CD-Rom tray. Yes, the ink for it is more expensive. But it''s the first printer I''ve had that has a special photo ink cartridge that fits alongside the other individual cartridges. Also, it uses a large capacity black ink cartridge only, which is great for me. So I decide my first printed document would be a complex multi-color containing a lot of tiny drawings within and extra small fonts. I absolutely couldn''t believe the output utterly fantastic, the crispest print I''ve ever had. I have to say Epson must have really been listening to unsatisfied customers when they designed this solid, compact, user-friendly, modestly priced peripheral. I particularly enjoyed recycling all 3 of my other printers yesterday.It''s not fair to offer a review of a product I have had for only two days since a reader''s biggest concern, reliability, cannot be determined yet. I was having more frequent lockups with my Kodak ESP-7 all-in-one so time for a new printer. Here are my brief observations:
1. Using test photos, I was initially disappointed with fleshtones and other colors using gloss photo paper. I tried the variables and different profiles with no improvement. Ultimately, the problem was solved by setting the printer to any of the matte paper settings (presumably provides more ink to the paper). As bad as my original photos were, that''s how good they became. In fact, using the printer''s own settings (No outside profiles in Adobe Lightroom) the match to the iMac screen was closer than I could ever get with the Kodak.
2. I saw no adverse effects by using the matte setting for gloss paper as the page dried just as fast with the gloss setting. Just deeper and more accurate colors, something I wanted to share with any reader as it might help solve a problem.
3. I was hesitant to switch from pigment based inks (Kodak) to dye based (Epson). My reward though, with direct side to side comparisons, showed the dye based Claria photos to yield an enormous improvement in saturation, contrast and depth of color in general. Stunning!
4. I thought the Claria colors were great on my 5 star Kodak premium 4x6 paper but then I compared the same photos to those that were subsequently printed on the two sheets of the Epson highest grade paper that were included as samples with the printer. Mind blowing, and a new appreciation for dye inks. The photos will probably not be able to compete with pigment inks in direct sunlight over time (who does that anyhow?) but the gains far outweigh the losses. The photos are amazingly beautiful and I ordered two boxes of the Epson paper and will never look back.
Why the gloss setting didn''t quite offer the ink saturation required for accurate photos I may never know. I will try it again just for fun when the Epson paper arrives. Maybe it offers less holdout. Also, after printing up a storm with all of my testing, I have a surprisingly large amount of ink left (with the standard capacitiy cartridges). I''m looking forward to other reviewers'' comments to compare printer settings. BTW, the printer does print from my iPad and iPhone. Really neat technology.

I really do love this printer; I initially gave it 4 stars because it lacked a document feeder and has a nagging output tray habit. However, I have upgraded it to 5 stars simply because the photo printing on this printer has so far outperformed any other printer I''ve tried in side-by-side comparison, including a commercial processor. This new type of ink is really something! Okay, here''s the whole scoop:EASY SETUP: Setup was super simple, as it has been with each of the Epson printers I have. Again, I chose not to even unfold the directions that came with the machine. Instead, I removed all the tape and packaging and plugged the machine in, trusting it to tell me what to do next for setup -and it did. (Kudos to Epson on packaging, by the way -one big bag, two styro pieces and a lot of blue tape, plus some protective film... not a landfill full of "packaging," for once!)
Again, I chose NOT to connect a computer to the printer for wireless network setup, simply because it doesn''t come with a USB cable and I was too lazy to go look for one. This means you need to "type in" your wireless network key on the printer display, using a multi-page alphabet/number/symbols set and directional keys to highlight each character of your key, then press OK, then go on to the next. Maybe I should have gone for the USB cable, but it lets you see what you are typing so you can fix mistakes. The printer initialized on our network without problem. I downloaded the drivers to the CD-less devices and used the installation CD for those with CD drives and setup on the computers couldn''t have been easier: Toshiba Netbook on Windows 7, an HP laptop on Windows 8, and a Dell desktop running Windows XP. The printer is AirPrint enabled, I see, but I haven''t gotten there, yet.
AMAZING PHOTO PRINTING: The printer comes with a few pieces of 4x6 Epson Premium Photo Paper but I was so impressed with the photo printing quality that I went out and bought more. These prints look better than the ones from our local photo printing shop! Really -did I mention the photo printing was amazing??? I was afraid that the ink supply after printing 3 photos, one which was very dark, would show noticeable attrition, but they are holding up well so far. And the photo print quality is AMAZING!
PRINTABLE CD/DVD: In a neat solution, this printer comes with a little tray that you can insert into the output tray and use to print directly on printable DVDs and CDs. I love this type of "labeling" and only regret that it can be hard to find the writeable media, especially at a decent price. However, I had some white DVDs and so ran one through. It is a little complicated to load the DVD -you have to remove a flat "tray" from where it is stored, tell the printer what you''re going to do and let it set itself up, THEN insert the flat tray into the printer and line it up correctly, but, thankfully, the display talked me through the whole process and the results were very nice. DO be sure to use the DVD/CD software that comes with the printer to design your label -it aligns everything to allow printing on jewelbox inserts and sleeves as well as printable media.
DUPLEXED DOCUMENT PRINTING: I expect a printer to be able to print, and this one does a fine job with crisp black and good color on regular white typing paper. Best part, as far as I''m concerned, is the duplexer, though. It''s a little noisy but why did we ever print things only one-sided for so many years? I''m afraid I''m not the person to ask about speed -the printer speed seems quite adequate to me. It takes longer to print photos than draft-quality text, as you might expect.
TWO PAPER TRAYS: There are two paper trays, one for "regular" paper and one for specially-sized items like envelopes and photo paper. The special tray has good guides etched into it so you know where to set the "sides" for each type of media. It also has a nice picture to remind you that printable side goes in face down! All trays are just a bit flimsy; they appear to be resilient but it is possible to, for example, get the edge of the top tray "latched" under the paper guide of the bottom tray if you are pulling a bit too hard.
BRIGHT "TOUCH-CONTROL" DISPLAY: The display is adjustable, from flat against the side of the printer to parallel to the top. The display is touch sensitive, very bright and easy to see and easy to navigate.
COPIER COPIES AND SCANNER... SCANS: The scanner table is practically the same size as the footprint of the machine and the scanning guides show max scan/copy size as 8.75" x 12"... however, you can only print up to 8.5" x 14". The scanner does a nice job of scanning various types of text, but there is no optical character recognition built into the Epson Scan software to make the scanned documents editable. The maximum scanning resolution is 9600 x 9600 dpi, but there is some depth of color loss during scanning even at the highest resolution. I scanned the pictures I printed and whether I displayed the scanned images on the computer or re-printed them, there was just less vivid color in the reproduction.
PUTS ITSELF AWAY: It can take this printer a little while to "wake up" if you haven''t printed to it for a bit. Then, if you pause in printing for several minutes, you will hear it go through a series of internal maneuvers before quieting. I''m not sure exactly what is going on, but I choose to believe that the printer is setting the ink cartridges up to be less likely to evaporate/dry out/leak, thus conserving ink over the longer term. If so, I think that''s great news. If not, please don''t disabuse me of this notion!
LITTLE QUIBBLES: I have gotten used to having document feed trays for scanning and copying and am sorry this printer doesn''t have one simply because it is such a TOP NOTCH little printer that I would probably move it into a spot of prominence around here, rather than relegate it to its original destination in the "hobby office" in the barn. The other argument I''m having with it is over the paper output tray. In both our other Epson printers, if you want to leave the output tray folded up and have your output fall onto the floor so you can roll over it with your chair, your printer will let you do so. This one won''t... it detects whether the output tray is extended and won''t print until it is, even though it is unable to extend it, itself. It''s a little annoying, although I can see their point... I do regularly wheel over prints that have fallen to the floor while trying to get to them, and that would be a CRIME with these gorgeous photo prints!
NEXT DAY UPDATE: I printed a few "challenging" 4x6 prints on my Epson WF-2540. There was no comparison to the XP-600; particularly with regard to the black, the depth of color from the XP-600 was simply magnificent! I then sent the same prints through Kodak grocery-store processing... again, the XP-600 print is SO much glossier and more crisp. I am going to keep this machine in the main office, document feeder notwithstanding!I don''t often right these, but we''ve had such bad luck with our printers, I thought this might help. We''d gone through three HP printers, all from Costco, in the past two years. The reliability just wasn''t there, and then when we bought Costco''s replacement ink-cartridges for the HP, apparently we voided the warranty for the HP printer? I was like, "what? are u kidding me?" Why would Costco sell me ink cartidges that would void the warranty of the printer?? Crazy, I tell ya.
Anyway, I had two friends suggest the Epson "small in one" printers, so I gave the HP back to Costco (thank you very little), and paid cash for the Epson.
Gotta say: Nice minimal packaging, Nice looking printer, Nice small footprint, AND very nice print quality (wow)!! It''s kinda hard to believe that the Epson was about the same price as the HP, cuz the print was much finer.
Anyway, I''m really happy with the Epson purchase, and highly encourage you to give them a try.

- Ultra smooth surface
- Ideal for high resolution laser prints
- Specially formulated for superior color images and text
- Capable of holding up to 2400 dpi resolution
- Made in USA
It is 24 pound but it is 98 Brightness. A very shiny, thin paper, good for graphics as stated on another site.
The ream I received was taped shut on both ends with transparent tape, and seemed to have less than a full ream. Some of the pages were curled or wrinkled. I returned the Hammermill 107681 paper and ordered other Hammermill laser paper.

I was ordering this because I wanted 3-hole punch paper; the only stuff available at the local office store wasn''t great. I was impressed with the thickness, brightness and glossy finish of this paper. Unlike others, I found it to be a nice weight, with no problem with bleeding (I have a duplex printer), curling etc. Package arrived in perfect shape. Personally I would recommend this paper just make sure you get the holes on the correct side of the printer!Read Best Reviews of Hammermill 10768-1 Laser Print Office Paper Here
Not good for printing on both sides. It will curl up and not go back into the duplexer. Recommend it for printing on one side only.Brother Printer MFCJ4710DW Wireless Color Inkjet All-in-One Printer with Scanner, Copier and Fax Save $0.03 off

- Help increase productivity withprint speeds up to 33ppm black and 25ppm color (Fast mode) & up to 18ppm black and 16ppm color (ISO/IEC 24734)
- Save time with single-pass, 2-sided scan/copy: simultaneously scans both sides of the page
- Easily navigate menus with tapping, dragging and swiping on the 3.7" TouchScreen with TouchPanel
- Automatic duplex printing for creating professional quality, two-sided documents
- Dual paper trays providing 400-sheet paper capacity for convenient, high volume printing.
Touchscreen is very responsive and connecting via wireless was so easy. Photos are printed and look good, but you will want to tweak the settings for optimal end results.
Software is great and integrates in a mac well. I tried the software on my friends PC and again, easy and simple. The back of the unit has a manual feed for 1 sheet at a time and all paper sizes can be used.
I have read people saying the trays were weak, but I do not find that issue at all. This is built much better than any Epson, HP, or Canon I have owed. A plus is how sharp and attractive it looks on your desktop. Airprint via iphone or android is a piece of cake and works well. I am finding it does not eat ink and if you feel you need to re-allign the heads or clean the print heads that process is finishes in record time. I have mine set to sleep after 1 hour and I never hear any noise coming from my printer. Buy this excellent printer and enjoy more desktop space and ease of operation. Kudos to you Brother!
