Cheap compared to all the other new printers.

Pros: Nice quality. "Super Fine" is near "Photo" quality but prints faster and uses 30-40% less ink.

Cons: Still uses WAY more ink. Even more than my Epson Stylus C65. It's got a problem with photo papers. Sometimes it would continue printing thinking its already been fed with paper. And when a cartridge goes empty, it would stop printing and eject the paper. I prefer it prints the whole page even with less color. Also, there's either, no way or I just don't know, how to change the cartridge even if I wanted to change it when I think it's done for (ink monitor says 26% ink level, then first few lines of the print, it goes empty).

We bought this product as a replacement for our Brother DCP-115C Printer. To compare, This is way much better than Brother's in terms of print quality and ink price. Printout quality is okay for private home use.

Pros: Ink price, low power consumption, individual ink color cartridges

Cons: Noise

the prints are great howver the durabrite ink is not glossy when using non epson photo papers. Unfriendly when using paper boards. The thick papers may damage the gears of the printer. I have bought 2 of these and after a month they both malfunction on paper feeders, the paper got stuck every second page it prints, then every print it made after awhile.

Pros: Great for photo printing, 4x6 borderless prints takes about 4mins each.

Cons: paper feeding mechanism is very poor, they malfunction well. Not advisable for printing using board papers. Draft prints are useless in terms of quality.

I BOUGHT IN THAILAND FOR $48 WITH ONE FREE BLACK INK CARTRIDGE TO REPLACE A C67.

Pros: CHEAP AND WORKS WELL.

Cons: INK MORE EXPENSIVE. NOISER THAN THE C67 IT REPLACES. IT SEEMS TO USE MORE INK THAN THE C67. NOT AS FAST AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.
