First of a great compliment to Amazon, as always super fast delivery. I really do not know why this device has a rating cut between 4 and 5 star, I am simply an enigma. My Canon MP 600 is retired after more than 30000 pages. Even before I had various Canon printers and was always very satisfied, cartridges gabs but for as much as 65 cents. Well, based on the reviews I've now ordered me this already suspicious convenient device MFC 250 C and was pleasantly surprised. The first impression is quite positive, the external processing can be quite suspect quality. The facility went smoothly. After setting the cartridge was the first trial print red hardly exist, and the second test print was not any better. So printhead cleaning (with a new device, mind you). Now my first Word-page printed, very bright and very little contrast. One can in the printer menu, however, with a single click choose more vivid colors, the following expression was okay, but you have to make this check before each printing. Now I have put photo paper into the printer, the paper tray is übrigends a very major weakness, allows thin plastic and paper to fix bad. The printer with A4 photo paper (only 160 gr. 200 gr then) not ready. The Paper does not feed properly, it tilts, or there are 2 sheets fed crooked. The Druckresutat is blurred, incomplete or displaced. The printer needs a whopping 3-4 minutes around one A4 page photo print of the highest quality, with my Canon printer This lasted 50 seconds. I then wrapped up the printer again and sent back to Amazon. My conclusion: for bargain printer okay - here as well as text-only. Copies makes the printer in average quality and speed. For people who have a lot to print totally inappropriate, totally unsuitable for photos, the pressure-time for an A4 photo is state of 10 years ago. The two stars are awarded by my one and only. For text printing and copying for the average assets and the low price We recommend this unit, in the sum of the properties.
