The first thing you notice about this printer is it's quite heavy and cumbersome, which is not a bad thing because it means it well built and quite sturdy, ideal for business use. The wifi was a bit fiddly to set up, it wouldn't recognise my network so had to do it manually which was no hassle for me, but might be for some. The NFC function worked a lot better allowing me to print via my Huawei android mobile via the app.
The ink tanks were very easy to install, shake a couple of times, open the flap on the front and slot them in on and they were surprisingly large too. It then takes about five minutes to get the ink ready after that you are good to go.
The printing is quite sharp as you'd expect from a modern printer and quite quick without making a lot of noise. I have been using this printer for a couple of weeks now and it hasn't let me down and the ink seems to be lasting quite well. I have printed out a couple of pictures but these are not as sharp as documents, but I didn't really expect too much anyway. This printer comes with two trays for paper which is a good idea, no filling up the paper trays all the time.
Scanning is quite easy like on other printers and takes just as long, but the quality is really good, the only problem could be if you have big fingers or clumsy it might be difficult to operate the little led screen.
Overall this printer is good for what it's intended to do and feels sturdy enough that it will last a long time. The big ink cartridges are a plus, seeing other printers are using tanks and seem to last a long time. It's quiet enough and I had no problems with any paper jams or two sheets coming through at once. If you are looking for a printer for your home office or small business this will do the job for you.
