Firstly I have to warn users of the 'Brother MFC-5890CN Colour Ink-jet-multi/fax', make sure you have the right setting in the printer driver before you print, otherwise you will be wholely shocked! You will get wet and runny black ink that looks more like oil - this is due to the 'Other' option over compensating the amount of ink needed. USE the 'Photo Paper (Brother BP71 Photo Paper/ Brother BP61 Photo Paper' option from the list.
Yes I learned from my mistakes, but now I can write a good review on this 'Value for money' product. It is a very clean and sharp result you get using the right settings, so check your printer options to get the best result.
The price is fantastic in comparison to others, and as I say the results are very good, it did a great job on my very important promo posters for a client with photos and graphics. spot on. Colours reproduced virtually exact, it's not a heavy gloss finish, but it does enhance the final print enough, and only the time of the printing on my great printer was an arse ache (15 mins).
I will recommend them, but as I only use the above printer others might differ. However, I'm off to buy some more anyway.
