Here
its 5 colours in one cartridge could prove expensive. Other printers
with separate ink tanks for each colour, would be more suitable for the
small office home office user. Print speeds insufficient for demanding
office use.
Outstanding
photo quality and minimum 10 year print colour fastness combined with A4
photo print speed of 4 minutes make this printer a winner.
Its
text and document speeds are sufficient for the home user. Combine this
with its outstanding photo printing quality and you have the ideal home
printer. Look at the Epson Stylus 870 its apparently just the same as
this Epson Stylus 875DC but without the card reader and it costs a lot
less!
