Text and colour are both excellent
The A3 tray double-feeds once it is more than half full
Print quality is not in question. Text is crisp and the colour work we send out to clients beats anything the old laser managed. The trouble is the A3 tray: load it past halfway and it picks two sheets at once, and on heavy stock it does that more often than it does not. If the machine has stood idle overnight it also insists on a head clean before it will give you the first page, which is a minute of standing there listening to it think.
Used for: 1–3 months
Running cost is in a different league to toner
The duplex unit clicks every time it flips a sheet
We were getting through a set of laser toners a quarter, and the sums on this one were done on the back of an envelope before it was ordered. In the ten weeks since, the tanks have gone down by about a finger's width between them, which is roughly nothing. Duplex is quick enough that nobody has quietly started printing single sided again out of impatience.
Used for: More than a year
Bottles instead of cartridges, and A3 when a plan needs it
It swallows a serious amount of desk
Runs all the paperwork for our small veterinary practice and has asked for nothing but paper. We topped the black bottle up twice in a year and a half and the colours are still over halfway, which after a decade of feeding a toner habit still feels like a con.
Used for: 1–3 months
Phone printing needs no account
The app is slower to find it than the laptop is
Printing from a phone was the deciding factor and it does it without making anyone sign up for anything. Open the photo, share, pick the printer, done. My mother managed it on her second visit without being shown twice!
Used for: 6–12 months
Reliable feeding, day in day out
The lower tray is noisy
It has not missed a page for us in eight months, though it drags paper out of the lower tray loudly enough that the whole office looks up.
Used for: 1–3 months
Handles A3 originals on the glass
The control panel is small for a machine this size
Does A3 without drama and the scans come off it clean
Used for: 1–3 months
Wifi setup went in first time
Two of us needed to lift it into place
Sharp text, tanks the size of a bottle bank, no complaints!
