Who it's for
- Families who print activities often and want to stop buying cartridges.
- Homes with limited space: it is compact for an ink-tank printer.
Who should skip it
- Occasional printers: a cheaper printer may cost less overall if you rarely print.
- Anyone copying many pages at once: there is no automatic document feeder.
Worth knowing before you buy
- Allow time for the first setup before the evening you need it.
- Coloring pages print well at standard quality and use less ink that way.
- This is a grown-up's device: let children pick the page, an adult prints it.
