Our verdict

A wide-format inkjet with a scanner built in, suited to posters, drawings and labels from one machine. Printing is one-sided only and the listing gives no ink yield beyond the starter bottles.

Overview

A classroom, shop counter or small design office is where this large format inkjet makes sense. It prints from a roll or from an automatic sheet feeder, and the flatbed scanner lets it enlarge a small original into a poster in a few steps.

The reason to look at it is that scanning, copying and wide printing share one frame, with a refillable ink bottle system rather than cartridges. The limit is speed, since a wide print job takes time at the listed page rates, and the listing says nothing about roll cutters or stands.

Who it's for

Think of a workplace that now sends posters and plans out to a copy shop. Anyone who prints mostly letter-size documents, or needs duplex output, will find a standard office printer simpler.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Roll media and sheet feeder both supported
  • Flatbed scanner enlarges small originals
  • Prints directly from a USB drive
  • Ink bottles instead of cartridges
Cons
  • Simplex printing only
  • Stand not listed
  • Color speed is modest
  • Large footprint for a desk

Performance notes

Output quality follows the stated print resolution and the media loaded, with roll media suited to banners and the sheet feeder suited to labels and smaller sizes. The scanner reads an original and the printer enlarges it, so the result depends on the source quality. Wide prints take longer than letter pages because the speed figures are for standard sheets.
