Quality of the print: Do any of you who have used this product think this will suffice my intended usage?

The version we have of this at work does not produce reliable / consistent prints. It produces scattered smudges of black at various points across the page, particularly when the paper is thicker like a strathmore laid paper. Most frustrating... bought this for a secretary who uses it for our letters, and after 2 weeks of frustration I'm afraid I've got to buy a totally different model and hope for the best. I'd avoid this. Changing the ink cartridge didn't seem to help, by the way.

Depends on your definition of "quality pictures". This printer all print acceptably, but not professional photo lab quality. There are far better printers on the market for photo printing (look for one that uses more colors).

Carl! I just did it... took out the color cartridge and it printed a B/W image....hey thank YOU it is good to know just for general purposes. BTW it is darn good little printer and if you can find it on sale as I did (40 bucks) also there is a vendor here that sells both cartridges for under 20 bucks including shipping...they wanted 48 bucks at Staples for the dang cartridges themselves for cryin' out loud........:>}

I'm not quite sure what you standards are on "Photo Quality", I purchased 3 of these to use for my business and it is really living up to my standards. The toner lasts a VERY long time for the volume that I use it, it prints very fast, and I have yet to experience any troubles with the printer. For photo printing you may look at inkjets that are more used for that level of printing. However, this is not to say that the printer does not print well. I am quite satisfied with the level of color printing quality that this printer produces.

Thanks for all the feedback, everyone! Sounds like some people got lucky but that in general this printer is not the one to get if you want to print greeting cards or business cards....the search goes on! :-D

Funny! No but the previous "used" cartridges I have used in the past didn't produce as many prints as the original, but I paid for "new" cartridges not used and I wasn't made aware of the fact . Besides that wasn't a very professional question to ask a customer but obviously you don't care.

I use this to be portable and I project from behind. So I am not worried about the image quality. The image quality is acceptable to me. If you are thinking of using this at home I would just clean up a wall and just make sure the paint is nice and even. If you are really concerned about image quality then get some flat white paint. If you are using it to be portable and project from the front then there are better options. A screen that is more opaque will give you a better image, but you cannot project from behind. Anytime you lose light you are going to lose image quality. This screen does not reflect all the light. Hopes this helps. I use this to be portable and I project from behind.

Like any printer it depends on your usage. I've found that 'regular' printing has been very reasonable.High res photo printing on 'best' setting used more than my last printer but the result was worth it.All in all I recommend getting the printer.

I have to agree with A. Geib I bumped up the phyical memory, used quality paper printed at the highest resolution and got very good resultsIt is abit slow on the first thing printing and sounds like a jet when I turn it on, but it was worth the money so far, I also have a Brotherat work and its a workhorse.I've used HP's Lexmark, Cannon, Epson it compares to them all, the interesting thing for me is watching the sell price move up and downI may start tracking it for fun.

I can not guarantee how color images will come out on this paper. It will depend on the printer. Feel free to message us to get a sample to test print. Thanks

I do not make Photo quality prints so I really can not answer you question with any certainty, however when using cheap regular printing paper I do see a noticeable difference in the quality, the colors tend to fade and run.

It depends on the size of the print, the typr of paper being used and the quality of the print.

I have a Canon MG5220 inkjet printer and the image quality is fine. However, if you're looking for stunning photo-quality prints, I'd suggest picking up actual photo paper (my preference is glossy).

Thanks for responding! In spite of the lack of reviews, I've decided to give this printer a try ... I'll let you know how that choice turns out!

Greetings. I'd like to personally note that this wallpaper is very good quality and in my estimation, very easy to work with. I only did one accent wall; however, I did not match the "pattern" to save waste and it turned out looking great as there is a consistent line imitating a board edge on one side. Your coverage needs will depend on whether you match the pattern or not. I would recommend you talk the the seller direct. Best of luck!

Laura: in all fairness I use it primarily for photography, and art reproduction in Canvas. I can only recall doing a test print of various fonts. That looked very good, but I hadn't printed text on it other than that one time.

Use lower print resolution in print setupand simpler fonts. But depending on Number of sheets printed monthly, seems like 6 months of toner life is very good
