The good: Low initial cost; simple, attractive design.
The bad: Expensive replacement cartridges; sluggish as a photo printer; poor-quality prints; no Ethernet port.
The bottom line: The Dell V305w is cosmetically appealing and inexpensive, but the output quality needs significant improvement, and the cost to maintain the printer is much higher than the industry standard. We recommend checking out the competition for a printer that will give you longer-lasting inks, cheaper replacement cartridges, and more acceptable photo-quality prints.
