By far the most comprehensive printer I could find for up to 200 vnom 300 euro. Print and scan quality are above average, but the added value is mainly in the options such as double-sided A3 scanning, double-sided print, wireless network or USB or ethernet (completed. n option available at the same time) etc.
Pros
- Double-sided A3 scanning and printing
- Second paper tray for A3 or another size
- Wireless printing option
- Cheap imitation ink available online
Cons
- Outer 3 mm of the original fall away, to the edge printing
- Printing in black uses always (a little) color ink
- Customer service is worthless
Final conclusion

Score: 4
For vnom 300 (inclusive of VAT, in april 2014) I am still not a complete printer encountered (January 2016). As regards print quality on plain paper differences the different inkjet printers on the market are not so much, but what concerns the options. Full duplex (both sides at the same time) A4 or A3 scan while you print. Double-sided printing, even on A3. Two large paper trays. The scanfeeder that pretty well works, etc.
A3 paper can also be entered manually on the back if it is too thick to turn inside, but then you have it exactly right in stitches.
‘Original’ ink is the same as with all the brands duration, but fortunately he also works fine with ‘white label’ ink plenty to get for a fraction of the price.
Only real drawback is that the outer 3 mm around the original page will always be cut off, also with borderless printing and even with reduced printing. So instead of 100% to print, then at about 102% printed. That would by now be possible to be solved with a firmware or driver update.
The customer service is worthless, know less than the manual says, set of stupid questions and comes up with solutions that don’t work, but that is at other brands, unfortunately, not better.
In addition to the scanfeeder you can also simply via the document glass scanning. A double A4 page from a book is the way in. safety n to A3 to scan or copy lwa ren.
As regards the criticism of the other reviewer: You only need a driver to install it on your Mac as the OS, what you use is older than the printer, or if the drivers have manually omitted in the install of your Mac.
The printer will print in the default position very quickly. It is for example also significantly faster if you only text or line art print. Printing is best still. It is, however, picking up paper good.
The printer thanks to Wi-fi also to use from iOS, so iPhone or iPad. Very useful. You can only not in the middle via ethernet or USB printing. But you would over Wi-fi to a router or computer should be able to print, the printer hangs, but I have not tested myself.
