I bought this printer last year for Rs 8100 after I heard the tall claims that this printer is as efficient as a laser printer and can print 500 color pages in a single cartridge which costs about Rs 400.
At least this is what the retailer told me can't say about the company claims, In reality when I tried to print some invitation cards for our holi event, I was shocked to find that I ran out of the whole cartridge in less than 40 color pages. Even in these 40 pages at least 7-8 pages got printed in violetish color which had to be thrown away. What a shame !
And that's not all, the printer has many other issues as well, 90% of the time the printer wil pick up more than one pages and will often waste up both due to printing errors. Very often it will show error sign without any reason. & the print speed is horribly slow as well.
One time the tray was not taking color photo pages at all so I called up the service guy he told me a weird thing that I need to scratch the bottom of all the photo pages with a knife to make the printer work ! really. I'd rather throw it in garbage than to take that much pain, and funnily enough when I asked him to try it himself even this technique did not work.
In a nutshell You'll need to learn too many jugaad's to make this thing work. I bought it blindfolded because of the trust in hp brand but it was a complete waste of money. Only plus about it is the printing quality vis a vis my laser printer. but with so many hiccups, I'll not recommend you to buy it.
