Design

The printer is quite compact and intelligently designed. When not in use, it does not take up too much space, which is a great thing. In this compact form factor, it also offers an inbuilt scanner which also helps to enable copying functionality which does not require you to use a computer. The quality of materials used is good and it gels well next to your computer on the desk.

The ink tanks are on the right side of the entire system and are nicely concealed. It makes it convenient to check the levels and refill as and when required.

Print Quality

The quality of prints is clear and well detailed. It is also capable of printing in photo quality. We tried both black and white as well as coloured prints, both came out neat. Also we did not face any jamming issues during our short usage (around 3 weeks) of the printer.
