Just had to write a short review as my trusty PitchureMate has gone down for the count. However, before you think that is going to be a bad review, it has bee a reliable printer for thousands upon thousands of prints for years now. I am a professional photographer, and we have used this printer at events from a benefit for the local SPCA, to a Santa day at a local food bank to Christmas parties, and it has performed flawlessly over the years. Rarely needing a head cleaning and producing beautiful quality prints quickly. People are always happy with the results and many times astounded at how quick they are ready and how good they are.
The only two issues are the ink and paper are bundled, and the ink never lasts for all the 150 sheets of paper. However, you can get aftermarket ink that works just fine, and they are available at any office supply store locally, so the times I that I have forgotten to get a pick I can just stop in at the local Office Depot and pick one up. Of course, they are cheaper here on Amazon. The second issue: and it has occurred only a couple of times, if you prints lots of copies at a time, and I think the number is about 100, the printer slows way down. Typically it takes less than a minute to get a print, but after that 100, its like 3 minutes, frustrating if you have people waiting, and the only way to fix it is to shut it off and let it wait for something like an hour.
For what I use this printer for, it has been great. The best printer I have ever owned. Now, it has begun to print green, and no amount of head cleaning, changing ink cartridges or head alignment will fix it. I am looking for another one.
