I'm glad I bought this

I surprised myself when I purchased another inkjet printer. I was tired of messing with refilling cartridges and not really being happy with the results – and one color or another running out ahead of the others – it just seemed like there was always something that wasn’t quite right. I remember the day I bought a simple black-and-white laser printer and pitched what I thought would be my last inkjet printer.

I had established a routine of going to our local Sam’s with my camera and selecting prints to be made in an hour or less. I just made a few at a time – 17 cents a print seemed reasonable enough – I thought I was satisfied with my chosen arrangement. One Saturday morning I watched the infomercial for this printer. The emphasis was on affordable print cartridges and quality photos. I liked that it didn’t have to be connected to my computer to operate. I thought of the times I had taken my business to Sam’s – frittered around the store for an hour waiting for my prints and then to be disappointed because the colors weren’t quite right. I thought this printer might give me some flexibility my current arrangement lacked. For example, if I didn’t like a photo – I could go back to my computer and edit it a little and then print it out again – and I would never even have to leave home.

I did my usual research on the internet reading what others had to say about this printer and the reviews were pretty favorable. When we went to Sam’s that weekend, I noticed they had this printer for sale – not for the $149 of the infomercial, but for $88. And of course they had the ink cartridges and paper at a good price, too. I didn’t buy it that day, but I was seriously considering it.

A week or so later, I did purchase it and set it up. At first, it wouldn’t read from my camera using the USB cable, nor from the sD card, nor from my thumb drive. I was really disappointed. I got online to go to the help files – and couldn’t find a solution. I sent an email describing my problem and got a fairly quick response, but with no solution.

So I decided to go power it up again and try it all over again, and this time, to my surprise, it quickly read my photos from all three sources. I don’t know what happened – but it works perfectly now. I printed my pictures – some on the 5-star paper sample that came with the printer and some on some cheaper generic brand paper I had laying around. Both photos were of equal quality.

All in all – I was very impressed, and am glad I made this purchase.
