Great printer but, only manual double sided prints
So many things I like about it. It's smaller than my old HP Envy. So I can have the paper catch out all the time and not worry about it hanging over the desk. I like that it has 4 cartridges, to me the print just looks better. Easy access to the print tanks. It's fast and quiet. The ink subscription plan is going to be cheaper monthly for me. Set up was really easy and didn't take long. I feel like I really researched printers for home use and got the best one out there. The one glaring bad thing that I've noticed so far is that it's only double sided when you put the paper back in to be printed on the other side. It's really annoying, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Overall, I really like it and am glad I chose it.

Great Cheap Printer
So far so good. One of the nice things I like about it is my new mac automatically recognized the printer on wifi and I was able to print AND scan using my Mac, with no installation of any software. For my windows computer is has been good as well. Setup process is a bit odd since you have to do everything through an app, but other then that, once setup, it seems like every device can find this printer! I have had no issues with print quality, but I didn't buy this for pictures. Literally just printing and scanning stuff from emails and the like. I wouldn't think this printer would print amazing colors, and will depend a lot on the paper you use. It seems to do a decent job on high quality paper. Low quality/cheap paper the colors look horrible, but to be expected for price of paper and printer.
