If someone - like me - not necessarily want to print only photos (? Cartridges very quickly empty, but in which not inkjet) and the number of pages per minute plays only a subordinate role, the PIXMA iP2850 is for a great printer. Me it does not bother, that he does not behave silently at work. You hear that at least one works here. Print image prima. A multifunction device came from the beginning of the question, because a scanner is usually present in any case and this guy wont to strike of devices, if something is missing in one unit. The response via WLAN is not important for me. That is not the case is set with the USB cable, I thought not bad for all. I took the old HP printer and two pieces would still be lying around in the junk box. I personally belong to the category of "rare printer", but if so, a relatively large amount. The printer is primarily motivated me to provide tutorials on the net. As for the price of ink cartridges - an original theme - concerns: Compared to my old HP printers are relatively "low" for the PIXMA iP2850. And precisely for this printer is available as a special bonus a lot of replica cartridges and refill kits, so no big problem.
My advice: buy recommendation for someone who is not a rapid Printer User!
