The Canon D1550 is fast and reliable, with excellent image quality

and that's not counting the glossy paper you need to produce good color images

Laser printers produce good black and white images for closer to 2 cents per page

Also the print quality is decent but even messing with the settings it is hard to get the most crisp image (if you're looking for a perfect high DPI print this is not your machine but is sufficient for most work & yes I tried the OEM and replacement toner)

You can get far better images for a lot less at your local chain drugstore or any number of on-line photo services

We have always used remanufactured cartridges with no issues, but the first cartridge we put in after the mini-cartridge that came with it ran out is still printing as crisp and dark as when we first put it in.
