I bought this printer over the moans and groans of family and friends. It's too slow, uses a lot of ink, etc. etc. However I looked specifically for a printer that would reliably feed labels, business cards, and other cobbled up stuff. Lexmark was the only company I could find that would claim to handle this stuff, and the printer does. It is downright scary as it violently grabs the media for printing. But, it prints accurately and does not jam, or skew, the media. It also prints quite rapidly in black and white. Faster than my old Canons. It IS slow on color printing, but I did not buy it for that. And It seems to be not as bad on ink as I had anticipated. I isn't any more of an ink hog than my HP. So far, it is just exactly what I need.

This printer is perfect for my needs; i.e., printing labels,greeting cards, business cards and postcards as well as regular documents. I had purchased a new HP and it jammed and skewed the labels. I also had to change all the top margins on these label documents in order for them to print correctly. The Lexmark handles all media beautifully and quickly. Photos are great. Very easy install. Comes with start-up ink cartridges and USB cable.

This is a great little printer. Considering the pittance I paid for it, I am truly amazed ! It is fast, has excellent print quality and the inks are not too terribly hard on your wallet. It also warms up fast so you can print quickly unlike the Canon and HP printers we've had in the past or the current Kodak 5300 All in One that I just bought myself....and regret. My husband uses it to print golf/sports information so I don't know how it would stand up to hard use. The ink cartridges seems to last longer than other printer models. For our purposes, it's perfect !
