It's really all true.
The term is indistinguishable from a color laser of the 1000 Euro-Class.
It prints this rapidly - faster than any color laser in this price range. The first page comes out super quickly - after about 10 seconds - even when the printer is in standby mode. This is for me one of the greatest advantages when you only want to quickly print 1-2 pages - most printers rödeln at the first page that is around endlessly - as the fastest copy speed is useless if you have to wait forever, until the device times " in momentum "is.
The 70 pages per minute are not lying - (would probably call what other printer manufacturers as a draft mode) in the "General Office" mode. Have a Word document printed with 70 pages and the time stopped: 1 minute.
The "General Office" mode is now set with me as a default because the quality difference to the "Professional" mode is only marginal.
If a lot of color on the page, the paper comes out slightly wavy, how to stop it knows of inkjets. At first I was disappointed - but then I realized to my surprise found that the paper is smooth wonderful if you wait a few seconds. Looks just like a laser printout, even if you print a full-page color photo.
Dried ink is the way immediately when the paper comes out. You can with your fingers blur anything - even if you are still so hard. By the way do not care what kind of paper you use. I use Low to 80 grams copy paper. Have tried to compare the recommended HP paper Colorlok and also expensive, coated paper 90 grams. No Difference.
Oh: the printer is integrated via WLAN to the network. Windows 8 computer to find him immediately; Windows 7 computers need a driver installation. Apple iOS devices (iPhone, iPad) also find it immediately and can print via AirPrint.
Let's see how the real cost of printing. A set XL cartridges (cartridges? They're the size of toner cartridges ...) still costs almost as much as the printer and should it last forever.

After some here have reported cheeping power supplies and noisy fans, I have once again very closely belongs in a silent room: the unit will remain silent if it does not print. Neither power supply nor give any fan noises.

Normal office use. Four months later: the black cartridge setup persevered 3,000 pages. The Setup colored cartridges are half full.
The 3,000 pages correspond exactly to the manufacturer's instructions for the normal cartridge. The printing costs are so mathematically at 5 cents per page calculated by the pro rata cost of the ink cartridges (normal cartridge attached). I think that's okay.
Now the XL cartridges in it. Although the cost twice; but to hold three times as long. This should again reduce costs by a third. What more do you want?

We now have three more AIO models in use: two X476 and X576 a. So I can now judge the scanning and faxing - and this is mostly impeccable.
Only the ADF draws pages often wrong one - but this disease have almost all ADFs that I know. And "Scan to Email", the address is limited to 15 entries - this is a little puny.
