I bought this for the speed and for it's ability to print directly from a Pictbridge camera. It not only prints blazing fast (compared to my Epson 1200) but uses lightfast ink resulting in a signifigant leap in image stability and longevity for the prints. After connecting the camera to printer I press four buttons (on camera) and the printer does it's thing and out pops a beautiful print without ever turning on the computer! Wow! It comes with separate ink cartridges for each color plus an extra larger black I assume for the laser quality text. It also closes up nicely keeping dust out and has two separate paper feeds for two paper sizes. I likey this printer!!!
