Print quality was pretty good....
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.But I believe something is wrong with the printer out of box. WiFi set up was very easy to me. But I think there was a problem with printer out of the box. As it prepares to print there is a loud gear grinding sound then it would print. The colored print report came out with great quality. Will return for the same one if available.

Easy

I would recommend this to a friend Purchase Satisfaction
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Printer was received on time and the installation went smoothly. Only about 1/2 hour was involved in getting the printer integrated and operating. Only problem was that I ordered the printer package with the ink cartridges included. With my limited printer usage, the ink cartridges included with the printer will last maybe a year. Lesson learned. Over all well satisfied with the purchase.
