    Duration of ownership:4 Months

    Strengths: Duplex and booklet printing options; reliable - no jams downtime. Feature rich. Xerox quality.

    Weaknesses: Doesn't use much ink for printing - but uses considerable ink for print head cleaning.

    Overall Evaluation: I really like this printer. Good print output. Not a photo printer (quality is not equal to most other color printers in my observation), but I do print some photos and it does fine for my purposes. Excellent text and graphic output (given the 600 dpi limitation) Color on mine is not true-to-screen, but this can be tweaked if you want to dig in to the technical capabilities of this printer. My biggest complaint is ink usage. The ink is not cheap. For printing, the unit is pretty stingy with the ink - no complaints there. But if you ever clean the print heads, beware. Cleaning also occurs automatically after a power outage or if the unit is turned off (instead of put in sleep mode)for more than a few minutes. My power has gone off twice since I have had the unit and I have run the Clean Print Head utility about 4 times. Those 6 cleanings have used up more ink than the 3000 pages I have printed since I owned it. If Xerox could address this the unit would be just about perfect for Home/Office use.
