This printer is fast, energy efficient, quiet and produces great copy and prints. For me there is no point having a low end inkjet printer for artwork photos because you'll get better and bigger prints from your local lab which will likely be more cost effective. I haven't yet managed to get my PC colour calibration done yet but quality is good enough when printing photos to produce pictures you could hang on the wall (in fact I have).

When the Android app didn't print to the printer from my phone, I just used the Mopria app instead and that worked just fine.Īs a printer this is a high res device at 1200dpi, scanning is at 600圆00dpi, and its colour copying is fast and colour accurate.

The flipside of this is that it is good to have the choice. The problem with this printer is really that for every thing you want to do there is probably five ways of doing it, which is very confusing. If you're buying one of these for your business I'd suggest getting a mini keyboard permanently attached. Personally I prefer this to touch interfaces especially as keyboards are much more reliable. However, if you dislike typing stuff in on the screen on the printer using the number keys (such as when you want to scan to folder or FTP), you can just plug in a standard USB keyboard and presto, easy-peasy to type in lengthy file names.

The interface is fine, if a bit quirky as you'd expect with a Kyocera device. I won't be using the fax but it has got a full feature set. There is a ton of functionality built in to cater for its use as a departmental printer, you can assign accounts, manage shared job folders, put extra memory in the printer if you want to store documents on it and so forth. Once on the network you can surf to the internal web site of the device and change settings there. It also comes with a CD if you want to use that. Setup is easy in Windows 8.1 and 10, you can just add the device to your network, and then point your PC at it, and it will download the drivers and the accompanying app to your computer. This has a two year guarantee out of the box, which tends to indicate that it has some durability. But after shelling out a fortune on HP and Epson plastic and inkjet cartridges all of which ended up in the skip before their time, I wanted something that would last a bit longer. This is a big printer/MFD - it weighs 35 kilos and is really designed to serve the needs of a small business or a department, so it is overkill to use it for home office use. Kyocera aren't a well known brand but I've owned some of their products before (Contax cameras) and was impressed with their quality and engineering.
