Overview
Five ink colors feed this large-format inkjet, with a matte black alongside the usual four for sharper line work. It prints on plain paper up to a wide roll, and connects by USB or Ethernet.
The reason to choose it is the wide media path and the five-ink set, which suit large drawings and posters. The limit is a thin description, a conflicting scanner entry and no stated machine dimensions.
Who it's for
An office making wide drawings, posters or signage in color can use the large media width and the networked connection. A household that prints documents or needs scanning and copying should look at a standard multifunction.
Pros and cons
- Wide media path for large prints
- Five-ink set with matte black
- USB and Ethernet connections
- Energy Star listed
- Scanner entries contradict the description
- Machine dimensions not listed
- Heavy unit needs a planned spot
Performance notes
Print quality comes from the maximum resolution and the ink set: matte black is meant for documents and line art on plain paper, while the colors cover graphics. Wide media means the paper path and roller determine how flat a long print stays. The listed copy speed is low, so volume work is slower than office printing.
