I Like it.
It's bigger than I had imagined, and I needed to brace it on the side by putting a pad between the printer and the wall to keep the massive printing head mechanism from swinging it back and forth on top of the stand, but I simply followed the directions plugging stuff in, installing the drivers and the optional network card, and BAM, it worked. It worked really well...
hard to use, high maintenance, expensive clunker
OK.. I am not a photo professional so probably the quality of the prints is top of the line.

It worked really well. The quality of prints, on good paper, surpasses anything I've gotten back from a photo lab. Granted, part of that lies in the ability to optimize the pictures directly from the raw format of the camera until printing, but we haven't even set up the calibrated monitor yet or a customized printer profile. I look forward to seeing the results we get after we get more meticulous about the process.

It needs 8 different cartridges of very expensive ink (over $70 each, OEM) at all times. It's like having a very expensive spoiled princess of a wife who is never happy and needs to go buy more handbags and shoes.. and who needs that, not me : )
