I've actually bought this printer because of the possibility to scan slides. For this I can only say that scanning slides exceeds my expectations. I scan the slides at a resolution of 4800 dpi, thus it takes a little longer but the quality is very good. So I will have my about 5000 slides soon as digital photos on my PC. On the subject of printing images and documents is here a lot has been said and written, but even so I am very satisfied. To reduce ink usage, I always leave the printer turned on. The printer meets all my expectations so I forgive five stars.
