The price is right, and the quality is good for everyday printing. I have not had any complaints about ink usage. I have had this printer for 6 months and just finally replaced the ink cartridges about 2 weeks ago. I used it for school and am now using it for work. I also use it to print a quick photo here and there when I want it printed right away and can't wait to order prints. It's not as fast as the more expensive printers, and it does shake when it's printing, but for the price it's a really good printer!
