This machine is the same size as most inkjets and is just as quiet. It has usb connection plus wired and wireless network so it is brilliant for the family house with desktops and laptops in most rooms. Set up is simple. print quality is almost to inkjet standards and it will take glossy paper without burning it.
Replacement cartridges put the cost of printing up. The cartridges are chipped so refilling at home is not possible unless you buy a new chip. Dell will charge £60 for a black cartridge capable of 700 pages. But you can get the same thing recycled from IJT for £14 - thats 2p a sheet.
Verdict: great for home use but even at this low price printing costs will be expensive for high volumes.
