I do not print regularly (= min every 2 days) but the printer sometimes two weeks unused standing around before coming back into use, the ink can sometimes dry up (the print head) ... what. with orig Cartridges also occurred, ev. Not quite as often, but never mind). Especially for frequent printers on a tight budget (a color laser printer is just not cheap) recommended, color prints are suddenly affordable (= no longer worthy to be) and the color quality could convince myself absolutely .. also for Photo Prints (80, - HP Photosmart Printer ... So not exactly a professional device ;-))
