Moab Anasazi Canvas Prm Matte 350 8.5x11 Single Sided 20 Sheets

Moab Anasazi Canvas Prm Matte 350 8.5x11 Single Sided 20 SheetsI bought both the 13x19 and the 8-1/2x11 and will not buy the 8-1/2 x 11 again because it is cut smaller than size and jams my printers. The 8.5 inches is actually about 8.4 inches and the 11 inches is just a hair short.

I have a Canon Pixma 9000 and the 13x19 works beautifully, I would recommend it to anyone and not have any problems about it. I have a print of an Elephant Seal from San Simeon that is my pride and joy thanks to this canvas.

However, when I try to run the letter sized version my Canon tells me it is the wrong size, then I set it to custom size and the feed rollers pull the canvas in and simply start spinning. I ended up with black streaks on the back, no ink on the front and pulling the canvas out of the printer about a dozen times before I gave up. I tried both front and rear feed with similar results.

I had the same problem when I tried my Epson R200. I finally found that if I push the canvas down just as the printing process starts and then keep just a little pressure on it the printer will handle the canvas and I get a decent product. But I don''t want to spend 5 minutes (my Epson is very slow) holding and coddling each print.

So, while the product is great in the 13x19 form, stay away from this one until they get it sized properly and get it to work in at least a couple of photo printers.

This paper is so RICH, the colors and depth are exceptional. What I''ve learned since first experimenting with inkjet photo papers is that you can''t go wrong with MOAB! I''m still a fan of Ilford for everyday photos. But when printing 8 x 10 or larger for display, I grab MOAB. I could ramble on and on about this product and bore you silly, so I suggest that you just try it and put the prints side by side, see it for yourself. Seeing is believing.

Update:

My 1 year warrantee ran out 2 months ago. Scanner started to cause vertical black lines to appear on one side. There was probably dust or something on the scanner lens. I cleaned the external glass but it was no help. Since I was beyond the warrantee Samsung referred me to a service center nearby. Just for the hell of it I decided to pick up the printer and jump up and down, hoping to dislodge whatever was causing the blockage. It worked!

I had a problem like this with an old scanner and all I had to do was take off the outer glass and clean the scanner lens. But ... jumping up and down worked just as well.

Original review:

Have had the machine for a year. During that time I used up the included toner cartridge and much of a replacement cartridge, with about 3400 total pages (according to the printer).

It''s given me no trouble at all. Print quality is fine (I''m a home user but I would not hesitate to use this as a small office machine).

Downsides are minor for me, but may not be for others:

1. It''s relatively loud. I have it set to go into sleep mode almost immediately so it doesn''t make any noise in between printing. But it makes a warm up whoosing sound before it prints and the printing itself is relatively noisy.

2. It''s not a network scanner. It can only scan to a computer that is connected via usb.

Other than that I really can''t say a negative thing about it.

Set up is easy, either via the on-board lcd or even better, via a web interface over the network. My advice give it a network address asap via the lcd. Then enter the address as a url in your PC''s browser and you can access all the other settings over an easy to use web page.

Have had no problems at all with the scanner, the automatic document feeder or manual feeder. The included software is rudimentary but is simple and works fine.

One aesthetic issue: The Amazon product image makes it look like the paper tray is a draw. It is not. It''s a fixed tray that protrudes a few inches in front of the printer when the tray contains paper. The protruding portion is covered by an opaque plastic cover. When the paper tray is empty, the front part is hinged so it can be lifted to be flush with the printer (as in the image). This is both a positive and negative. When open, it takes up a little more desk space. But the paper is always in view so you easily tell if you are running low. Personally I never lift up the tray.

Although I did not buy it from amazon, I feel this is the best place to review it. I bought this printer cheaper than it probably should have been. There was an easyrebate involved. So I was thrilled about that.

When I got the box opened it took about 5 minutes to set it up. I installed the drivers and everything was up and running in no time. It was a real breeze. I have it set up via USB connection, so I cannot comment about its network capabilities. I did run a series of tests on its scanning however.

There are a couple of different parameters to set for the scanner. There are the resolution and color settings. For resolution, obviously the higher the resolution, the finer the image. If you are scanning text however, it doesnt require very high resolution. I found all the text on my utility bills legible at 200dpi, just one setting above the lowest resolution. A 2 page document takes up roughly 200kb in grayscale mode when saved as a PDF. IT TOOK ABOUT 5 SECONDS TO SCAN A PAGE THROUGH THE DOCUMENT FEEDER.

2 things surprised me when I scanned this document in the other color modes (true color, 24-bit color, black and white):

1.) The file size remained about the same across all color modes.

2.) The scanning time became much longer for the other color modes.

There is an OCR program included with the software and it requires a resolution of 300dpi, which doesnt make a huge difference in file size or scanning time. But when the OCR program is finished and the document is saved in word format there is a HUGE difference. My 17 page lease took up a mere 285kB when converted to word format. You should only run the OCR programs on pages that are just text though. Running OCR on documents that contain alot of pictures or on poor copies can be problematic. For that just save the scan as a PDF and you''ll be fine.

In the first 3 hours of owning this beauty, I had scanned every important piece of paper in my apartment. I even scanned all of my notes for a current semester at an Ivy League university.

I love this machine, and so will you.

Want Samsung SCX-4725FN Network Laser Multifunction Printer, Copier, Fax, Color Scanner Discount?

Samsung SCX-4725FN Network Laser Multifunction Printer. Price was right, delivered rapidly, does everything it''s supposed to. Configuring the destination for the scanned images is NOT easy. It''s large, the paper-feed is a bit fiddly, and I just wish I''d gotten wireless capabilities built in. But it really is perfectly OK-Fine

We needed to replace a 5 year old Xerox all in one and decided to go with the Samsung 4725FN. The price was hundreds below everything we looked at from HP, Lexmark and Xerox and we''re extremely happy with our purchase. The unit prints very quickly from our mixed Mac and Windows network and the print quality is superb. Setup took less than 5 minutes without looking at the manual. Overall, we highly recommend this printer. The only negative is that you may have a bit of trouble locating toner locally so be sure to keep extras on hand, since you can''t just run over to the corner office supply store and expect to see it on the shelf. Overall a great printer/fax/scanner at an amazing price.

Epson Smooth Matte Fine Art Paper Save 22% off

Epson Smooth Matte Fine Art Paper - 8.50'' x 11'' - 25 x SheetPLEASE NOTE: This review is appearing under product "Epson Smooth Matte Fine Art Paper". Although Epson makes a paper called "Ultrasmooth Fine Art Paper", there is no current Epson product listed with the name Amazon shows. The product number on the Amazon listed product is the same as that for "Hot Press Natural", therefore, my review is for Hot Press Natural. (Is that confusing enough?)

This is a lovely matte finish paper. After years of preferring smooth glossy photo papers, I now find myself in awe of what a really good matte finish inkjet paper can do for an image. I experimented with a number of fine art matte papers recently and the Epson Hot Press Natural was at the top of the list of my favorites. HPN does just about everything well. For monochrome photos, it reproduces blacks with a velvety smoothness that is so rich you can taste it. The paper color is a natural, creamy white, something I much prefer to the glare of most bright white papers. The paper is thicker than the average but feeds well through the front manual load tray of my Epson R3000. Epson''s downloaded profiles do a great job when printing in color and Epson''s Advanced B&W set-up works well with monochrome. This is a 100% cotton rag paper, billed as being acid-free and pH buffered. Epson says on the package that it has no optical brighteners. These are all Good Things.

Is there anything about this paper I do not like? Not really. The surface is billed as "smooth" but it does have a slight texture. It''s not a distracting texture--it''s hard to see it unless you angle the paper and catch the light just right. It doesn''t appear to detract from the images I''ve printed, still I would prefer the finish to be a little smoother. The surface has been noted by others to be somewhat fragile, scratching easily. I''m careful with the paper after printing. I allow it to dry at least 24 hours and then coat the prints with PremierArt Print Shield lacquer spray. Following this procedure, I''ve had no difficulties with scratched prints so far. The only real complaint I have about HPN is that Epson doesn''t sell it in 11x17 inch sheets. My preferred normal print size is 11x14 or 11x17 and these sizes are not available. There are other good papers available in these sizes--I''ve been pleased with Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Ultra Smooth, Canson Infinity Rag Photographique and Museo Portfolio Rag. All these papers would serve well in place of HPN although I still like the HPN best of those I''ve tried. Of course, there are numerous other papers I have yet to sample that are billed as "fine art" matte. I have an open mind and a willingness to experiment with other papers. As of right now, HPN is the overall winner.

All in all, I recommend giving HPN a try if you are interested in trying matte inkjet paper for your work.

It was pretty cheap and I managed to misjudge the weight of the paper. So far, pretty much any amount of ink from my 10600 will make it wrinkle. I even took the total in limit down to 100%. I will get this figured out, but I was a little surprised at how poorly this took ink.

Kodak ESP 6150 All-in-One Printer

Kodak ESP 6150 All-in-One Printer
  • Kodak''s All in One Printer has the Best-in-Class Wi-Fi Setup - It''s Wi-Fi Simplied!
  • Start Saving on Ink: Kodak offers the Industry''s LOWEST INK REPLACEMENT COST

I am extremely happy with this new printer of Kodak''s. Finally a company has the %&lls to break away from the pack. Basically to make a long story short, I ordered this from Amazon, even though it says ships in 3 to 4 months ( at the time I ordered), it still shipped the very next day. Now I see it is in stock. I pull it out of the box and set the whole printer up with my computer and wireless in about 30 mins. Super easy! It is a very quiet printer, looks great and user friendly. The best part was the set up of the wireless, which after downloading the software for the printer onto your computer, you then turn on your Kodak printer, it searches for all the wireless signals available in and around your house, just like your laptop. you then see the list, pick yours, and you are wireless and off to the races! Done! The printer has worked perfectly for me for about 2 months now. Great quality, and I have done a ton of colorful labels as well. THAT''S NOT THE BEST PART ABOUT THIS PRINTER! What is the biggest complaint about printers, all brands....INK right? The printer companies love to gouge us all on the ink$$. Well Kodak has broken out of the pack and want''s to carve out a quality niche for themselves. Their ink is the cheapest in the industry. Not only that but the printer came with a FULL, yes you read right, a FULL set of ink cartridges, not the usual half full scheme. I know that because the printer utility shows me a colored diagram of the ink levels and they were full from the beginning, and I have printed a lot so far and am only half way through the ink according to the diagram. Also, when i went into the the big office supply store to get more ink, I was standing there trying to remember the model number correctly so i could then buy the right ink cartridge. The employee asked if she could help and then told me don''t worry about the type of printer, ALL Kodak''s printers take the SAME! ink cartridge. Wow! That is simple and easy. And the best part.. an entire color cartridge with a separate black cartridge in the same box, cost me only $24 total!. That''s it! Yes! Finally.

I originally went out and bought the typical popular brand name HP printer and took it home. Then I read the reviews...not good. So I took it back, having not even opened the box, and then spent hours reviewing and looking up printers, but one thing sat in the back of my mind. I had asked the printer salesman what printer he would buy and he walks me right to the Kodak printers and said these ones, good printer and the cheapest ink. He said he just bought one for himself. That''s what made me finally look up Kodak printers. I really liked the brand new line of Kodak printers that was just coming out over these last several months. It''s obvious that when Kodak decided to to break away from the pack with cheaper ink, they then redesigned there entire printer line and came up with a terrific printer with a great modern look, user friendly and easy to set up. Thank you Kodak! Give one of these printers a try everyone. Give up paying an arm and leg for ink and get a great printer to boot! PS Only 4 our to 5 stars because I have only had the printer for two months. It will have to earn that last star over time. :)

I recently purchased this printer. Easy setup, flawless wireless use, and prints quickly, etc.

I''ve used HP wireless...and maybe it was just the model I had, but it would go to sleep and never wake up.

I would have to get up and go into the office and reboot it every day.

The Kodak, so far, is working flawlessly. I would reccommend it to all.

Thank you HP for all the great years, but you''ve been outdone in ALL-IN-ONE printers. The KODAK ESP OFFICE 6150 was easy to set up. Took under 15 minutes and I was printing! WOW! Ink is a lot cheaper too. It is well built, unlike all the printers made today. I had not have had to buy a printer in 7 yrs and was amazed how cheaply made they all were. This machine stands out as a solidly bult machine. It is fast and sleek looking. It is priced right too. You will not be disappointed. Read it''s capabilities. I read all the reviews on all the ALL-IN-ONES before deciding. I am happy to give this machine 5 Stars.

Want Kodak ESP 6150 All-in-One Printer Discount?

I''ve tried them all: Canon (worked like a champ but didn''t last mechanically); HP (second mortgage to buy ink); Brother (worst interface software on the planet and a cartridge management system that has you throwing ink away; and Dell, (actually borrowed this one, not bad and reminds me of the Kodak.) Alright, so enough about what hasn''t worked. The Kodak set-up couldn''t have been easier (I used the USB interface) and it didn''t spend half the day running ink through "set-up testing." Some have complained about configuring the Wi-Fi but after examining their remarks and looking through the instruction manual myself what I can tell you is this: if you don''t know what a local IP address is, you shouldn''t be using Wi-Fi at all. The scanning feature brings up the PC software automatically and asks you only two questions: "Where do you want to save the file and what file type do you want to use?" Simplicity defined. I really like the LCD display as it gives you positive feedback as to what the printer is doing; it''s a not a feature unique to Kodak but it was new to me. This model can print duplex and the first time I used it I thought it was broken as the page ejected after printing the front and then voila! The printer took the page back and I had a great duplex print. The alignment between front and back was very good for a system that doesn''t roller pathway the sheet. This printer does what it is supposed to do and at $149, it''s a bargain. Does it have any negatives? Yea, a few. It''s a little loud but I simply turn up my YouTube video. The ink will saturate lesser grade papers when you duplex print so that they warp somewhat but on intermediate to high quality bond the problem disappears. On premium photo paper, the Kodak has the best color rendition I''ve seen in this price range and the images are quite sharp. The manual, although thorough, lacks a good index so you have to hunt your way around to find certain things. Overall, if you don''t want to cough up a few thousand for a color laser (which can''t fax or scan), this is the AIO for you.

My old HP wouldn''t scan with my new iMac. So I shopped around and found this printer. It came from Amazon promptly and at first worked very well. However, first it stopped fax''ing. After long calls with support, I finally got it working. Then it stopped scanning. After emails and long conversations with support, they told me to uninstall the software and start over. That worked for a while, then stopped and I had to go through the whole drill again. Then it stopped printing. It would go to sleep and would only wake up if I turned off the machine and turned it back on. Then, that wouldn''t work either, and I had to unplug it and plug it back in before it would print. Then that stopped working too. Kodak support kindly mailed me another printer.

After a while the new printer started the old ones tricks. Now it won''t even print if I unplug it and plug it back in. It is out on the porch waiting for the electronic recycler to pick up . . .

Good quality fax. Very fast. There are several design flaws. 1) There is no obvious way to print a receive header showing the time that the fax was received. 2) The LCD is unreadable unless the fax is used on a low table. 3) The stop button does not cancel the outgoing fax. (You have to hit an additional non-intuitive key.) I have not tried using it as a printer. This fax replaces an HP 3015 whose feed finally failed after years of heavy use. This is faster than the HP, but the interface design is not as good.

Lexmark P315 Snapshot Photo Inkjet Printer (20C0000) Save 43% off

Lexmark P315 Snapshot Photo Inkjet Printer
  • Direct photo printing from PictBridge digital cameras and memory cards
  • Borderless 35mm-quality photos with up to 4,800 dpi resolution
  • 4-by-6-inch photo as fast as 42 seconds in QuickPrint mode
  • 2.5-inch LCD preview; 25-sheet input capacity, Accu-Feed paper handling
  • Easy-to-replace tricolor print cartridges; convenient carrying handle

I felt like I was taking a gamble buying this printer, considering that when I purchased it 3 days ago, I couldn''t find any customer reviews on it and even Amazon wasn''t listing the item yet. But given its competitively lower price than the Epson''s and HP''s comparable models, I decided to go with the Lexmark.

Overall, I am extremely satisfied with it. I''ve printed about 30 photos with it using the High Yield Lexmark Color Cartridge (#35) and recommended Fujifilm Plus Photopaper, both available together as part of Lexmark''s P315 value pack. The printer interface is extremely user-friendly, and I''ve had lots of compliments on the photo quality. The average time to print from a Canon S50 with most photos set at a resolution of 1600x1200 pixels (Medium 1 setting) is roughly about 1 minute 40 seconds according to the printer''s timer when printing in photo quality mode, which is fine by me. The cropping tool is handy, though I wish it would give options to crop photos in smaller increments or the length/width of the cropping box could be manipulated. I''ve read that the Epson Picturemate tends to lop off the top of photos and people have learned to adjust for it; the Lexmark doesn''t have this problem and even allows for previewing of the picture before printing, which is a very nice feature. Another convenient tool is being able to scroll through your images on the printer screen and select which photos to print photos can either be printed individually or multiple images can be selected for printing all at once. The prints do come out dry with no fear of fingerprint smudges and also borderless, save for the one edge that is perforated and can be torn off. I also like its small footprint, light weight, and the carrying handle.

However, you do get what you pay for, and though I don''t have any experience with the HP or Epson 4x6 photo printers, after reading other Amazon customers'' feedback, I have a good sense of what these competitors offered in their models that Lexmark doesn''t have in the P315. As compared to the HP and/or Epson equivalents, major drawbacks of the P315 are as follows. The colors of photos are a bit bland; though the photos come out with fairly good quality, they lack that vivid punch. I''ve only used the High Yield color Cartridge #35 and have not yet tried the basic color cartridge #33. Even without the side by side comparison in the store of the Lexmark against the Epson using the same image, I could tell the colors were a bit washed out. This leads to my other observation that the default brightness setting for the P315 tends to be too bright; this can be adjusted on the printer''s setting, so I wouldn''t consider it a major flaw.

The second major drawback to the P315 is tied in with the design of this being exclusively a stand alone printer to correct any photos for red eye involves transferring images between the compact flash card to the pc, edit the red eye on the pc, and transfer back to the compact flash card so that the P315 can read it.

I am happy with my purchase and it has been a good bargain. Yes, the color is a bit lackluster, but if it is an important photo, I figure I''ll just take it to get professionally developed. Also, I was worried about being limited by the P315''s paper option sizes, but again, if I want a larger photo I''ll have to turn to the professional developers. But given that 4x6''s fulfill most of my printing needs, the P315 is a great convenience and fits nicely in my budget.

Buy Lexmark P315 Snapshot Photo Inkjet Printer (20C0000) Now

I purchased the P315 laboring under the assumption that Lexmark would come out swinging in this competitive market category of personal photo printers. I learned, sadly, that they are only competing based on price and not a combination of price and quality. I printed several test photos which were shot at 5 megapixels with a Kodak DX7630 and was very disappointed with the results. The P315 has trouble with skin tones and dark colors. My family''s photos rendered most everyone a reddish skin tone and our dark hair had absolutely no detail and looked, well, fuzzy. The photos were a little grainy and every area where the colors were not the primary shades but deeper greens, browns, blues were lacking detail in the extreme. I printed the exact same photos on the HP 375B with excellent results. The sales associates at Circuit City were so astonished, they asked if I could leave the two sets to demonstrate the differences in the two printers. The scroll through the SD card on the first go round is very slow and requires patience. After you scroll through all of them once, it does go faster. For those who are wondering, I did verify the settings of the printer was at the Photo level and not a lower quality. If you are only concerned about price and not the photo, this may be a choice to consider. Although, I still advise saving up for a better printer. You will probably be more satisfied in the long run.

I''ve had this printer for over a year now and I LOVE it. You can''t beat the price, and the quality of prints is great for my purposes. I use it to print lots of photos of my kids to put in calendars to give to family and friends, and the last print I made is as good as the first. If you want something more professional quality, I''m sure there are products out there with more bells and whistles. The only real drawback I''ve experienced is that it seems to go through ink like water, but I suspect that''s not unusual for this sort of product. I highly recommend this printer.

Want Lexmark P315 Snapshot Photo Inkjet Printer (20C0000) Discount?

I bought this printer with the thought that it would be an easy way to print photos directly from my camara. I''ve owned the printer for about 1 year and now it won''t read either my 256 MB or 2G memory cards, also the PictBridge isn''t working with my camara either, it just freezes. Since you can''t connect this printer directly to your computer, I am out of options I guess. I have a very expensive paper weight.

When I was able to get it to work, the pictures were of disappointing quality. I even went back and bought the Lemark paper specifically, thinking maybe that was the issue.

So all and all I would not recommend this product. I would suggest finding a printer that prints directly from the camara as well as from the computer.

I was a little let down with this product. The paper quality was lacking and it would have been cheaper to buy colored copy paper and probably would have been better quality ( I double checked the labeling). I won''t purchase again.

I was extremely disappointed when I opened this product. The pastel colors are washed out/drab and the paper quality is extremely poor. I regret this purchase and will never order this product again. Picture of product on Amazon looks far nicer than it is in reality.

This pastel paper is just right for the background for copying personal or business letters. It is sturdy yet lightly colorful. A little expensive but serves a good purpose.

POLAROID ZINK Photo Paper (AZA-08011B)

POLAROID ZINK Photo Paper - 80 sheets - AZA-08011B
  • Creates borderless color images without ink
  • Prints are dry to the touch, smudge-proof, water-resistant, and tear-resistant
  • 2"x3" business card (7,6cmx5cm) print size
  • Peel-off adhesive back for sticker prints
  • For use with Dell Wasabi, Polaroid PoGo, and TOMY Xiao

I like the zink printer, it''s handy for some things. I go fishing and sometimes help a child catch his or her first fish.

With the zink printer, I can print the picture and give it to them for this memorable moment. There is a caviat when

buying this paper. My Zink printer is a dell, and it has this feature... well fault. It''s designed to reject use of other

branded paper. the secret is to save the blue card from your manufacturer''s paper and use it to replace the similar

card when changing paper. This should have been noted in the ad. Shame on Dell for their greed in having this feature

Greed can be the only motive and they should respect the printers owners right to use any paper they choose. Dell! You want

people to use your paper? price it reasonably and they''ll buy it from you. This deal is a good deal once you get past Dell''s

greedy nature.

HP Psc 1510 All-in-one Printer

HP Psc 1510 All-in-one Printer
  • Up to 20 ppm black printing and copying, up to 15 ppm color
  • 1,200 x 1,200 dpi optical resolution scans, 48-bit color
  • 8.5-by-11.7-inch flatbed scan/copy surface
  • 100-sheet drop-down paper tray
  • USB interface; PC and Mac compatible

This printer installed easily and functions nicely in every way. My only complaint is that the ink cartridges, while very inexpensive, contain very little ink. If you''re doing occasional printing, scanning or copying this is a great printer. If you expect to print more than 1000 pages per month, be prepared to change the cartridge as often as your undies.

Did I mention that its a fine printer?

I read all your reviews and I was amazed to find that most people thought it was a good printer. After I purchased one, I found several things that troubled me.

First, the program for the printer has a secret. It installs another user into your system. I thought something was weird when I had to log in to my computer, which was a single user system (Win XP). There were other changes to my system that I can only explain as glitches. For some reason, this affected a few programs and I will probably end up un-installing and re-installing most of them including my antivirus software. It stopped the scheduled scanning the day I installed this program. What a coincidence.

There were other issues... Although the print preview works, it does not truly print the same as the preview. It''s always a little off center. There were issues with the paper I was using and this printer would not let me use any type of odd sizes no matter what adjustments I made. The photo itself was not as good as a real photo pretty close, but not better. If you clicked on the help feature, the program took you to a web page. This would have been fine except that the last "\" should have been "/" so I kept getting a "This page cannot be displayed." error. If I corrected the "/", the page worked perfectly.

I must give credit to the HP support desk. They admitted that the program does create another user (and that I could delete it without issue). They tried to help me with the other issues and were very fast with replies but I am only willing to un-install and re-install the program 3 times (which is what I did). In the end, I think they knew that they could not help me and gave up.

I printed about 30-40 photos and ran out of the tri-color ink. That was the final straw and I will be returning this printer never to buy another HP printer again.

After re-reading the other reviews I thought I bought a lemon but after three installs with the same results, it must be something else.

If you decide to buy... good luck.

My old printer was on its last leg so I had been on the hunt for a replacement for about a month. I use mine for a home based business so I didn''t want to spend a ton of money nor did I want to end up with a piece of junk either. You all know the saying "you get what you pay for", well that does not ring true with this printer. I only paid $89.99, which is really cheap for an all-in-one unit, and I would have gladly paid more had I known how wonderful it was going to be! Installation was a breeze, however I did make a slight error during the print alignment part of the installation process but was able to log on to the HP website and chat live with a customer service rep who helped me fix the mistake in no time at all. I love the size of this machine, it isn''t bulky at all, and fits perfectly on the shelf under my desk. I like the fact that I can hook my digital camera right into the printer which makes it easy to print my photos in a hurry. I am impressed with the quality of the pictures, they are beautiful; the colors are so crisp and clear, it''s like I had them developed at a photo-center. Even better is the fact that the print cartridges are under $20 a piece, not the case with my old printer, they were over $25 a piece, ouch! As for longevity, so far I haven''t had any problems; there hasn''t been any paper jams, nor any software malfunctions that other reviewers have reported with the older version of this printer. Bottom line is if you are looking for a printer for personal use or for a home based business like myself then this printer is exactly what you are looking for. You just can''t beat its quality for such a small price tag!

This All-in-one printer is truly a wondrous little machine. I was fortunate to be a product tester and this printer was sent to me to review and keep. I was so amazed and happy with the results that when the printer was finally released to the public I purchased a second and gave it to my sister as a present. You can''t go wrong with this little jewel. I''ve been spreading the word to all my friends. the picture quality is one of the best I''ve ever seen. We have a laser color printer where I work and this little giant produces superior prints. One more thing...Amazon.Com has the best deal in town.

This printer worked just fine for one week. Then the paper jams began. HP''s technical support person could only suggest that I clean the printer with a damp rag! The printer''s performance continued to deteriorate, with frequent paper jams and incorrect "out of paper" messages. Also, the printer could not print labels properly -they were always misaligned and unusable. After a month, the printer stopped working completely as it became completely unable to recognize that there was paper in the paper tray. I called HP and they demanded a credit card number as "collateral" before they would honor the warranty. Needless to say, this is the last HP product I will ever purchase.

Brother TN-115C High Yield Cyan Toner Cartridge Save 35% off

Brother TN-115C High Yield Cyan Toner Cartridge Compatible with Brother HL-4040CN, HL-4070CDW Series - Retail Packaging
  • Yields approx. 4,000 pages @ 5% coverage on letter size paper
  • Ships in Certified Frustration-Free Packaging

Yes, these Brother toners do only count the number of pages printed to determine the amount of toner left. When one of the CMY color runs out, they all run out at the same time. Even though the printer may say its completely out of toner, that might not be the case always. To reset the toner (if you know there''s ample amount of toner still left), unscrew the two screws on the side, pop off the side cover, and turn the gray gear wheal counterclockwise 90 degrees.

Overall, these toners are fantastic. Highly recommend.

Buy Brother TN-115C High Yield Cyan Toner Cartridge Now

Brother color printers are set to ''run out'' of toner after a set number of color pages printed. So there is often plenty of toner left in the cartridge.

To reset the 9440cn printer, turn the printer on and open the toner access main door. You get a ''door open'' message on the LCD. Press Clear/Back and you get the toner reset menu. You can then reset the carts by hand using the up/down arrows and the 1 key to select reset.

At the end the printer will report all the carts as full. You can then replace them when they are empty, not when it suits the planned obsolescence dept.

I bought this high-yield toner for the price and that it''s the Brother brand. I have tried other "compatible" brands, but they sometimes do not work.

It is cheaper than Costco!

These toners are easy to install. One thing though, after the first warning of these toners being low I take them out and check the little round window to see if there is still toner. If there is, I wind back the gear with a peg on it back to its original position. I recently did this with all three colors as it was reported they were going low. After winding back the gears, the printer performed perfectly for another month with a moderate amount of color printing. Finally, the low toner warnings went off again and since there appeared no more toner, I installed new ones. I have a closet full of these consumables and look forward to many great years printing with these printers. (We have 6 of them)

*EDIT 12/20/10*

We''ve 3 more of these printers now. Here is something important you should know along with the above information:

Hidden Menus

**Toner Reset Menu Open front door of printer. Press the ''clear'' button once or twice. There are two capacities for each color. It will start counting down from whichever you choose.

**Everything Else Reset Menu Press ''3'' and ''9'' at the same time. Hidden reset menu will appear. Select item, select reset.

THIS IS NOT A BROTHER CARTRIDGE; RATHER IT IS A KNOCK OFF! I ordered all three colors and just received them today. Unfortunately, some cheesy company named Premium makes them. I contacted Amazon and requested a return. My return has been approved however; an email from the seller stated, "I am not sure why you are claiming we did fraud when the item is listed as a compatible cartridge clearly in the title and the comments area describing the toner. We did not mislead you in any way."

The truth is the title clearly states "by Brother". The Cyan product even has a picture of it in a Brother box. Please read closely and draw your own conclusion as to whether or not this is misleading and fraudulent. Just be certain about one thing: as of today this is not a cartridge made by Brother. Amazon needs to make it clear that this is not a Brother cartridge; rather it is made by Premium. It may be compatible, but it is not a Brother cartridge.

I ordered these exact same cartridges two years ago from Amazon and received original Brother cartridges. Unfortunately, something has changed since then. Something has obviously changed since some of the other buyers have made their purchases as well. Some reviews state that these are OEM cartridges, while other reviews state they received knock-offs. It appears to be hit or miss. GOOD LUCK!

Used this product for making an outdoor sign. It turned out great!! Easy to use with print quality coming out well, protected it with a UV Protection spray as recommended, and it has really held up well to the rain and the sun. Much easier than having to paint it on, and looks great.

Great product. Works as advertised with my Canon generic printer. These white vinyl sheets solve the problem with printing stickers/labels/decals with white graphics. This product is a matte finish, however, I was able to get some sheen using a clear coat of spray paint (clear). Have asked the shipper is the product comes in high gloss white, but so far no response.

I would buy again.
