Very good

7.0

out of 10

CNET Editor's rating: 7.0 out of 10
Reviewed by John Blackford
Review date: 5/25/05
Release date: 3/4/05

The good: Easy to use; media card slots; built-in networking.

The bad: Uses tricolor cartridges instead of individual ink tanks; prints are not water resistant; slow; big, even for a medium-format model.

The bottom line: This is a decent printer for the photo enthusiast or scrapbooker who wants the amenities of a consumer printer in the size of a medium-format model.
