The fastest printer I've ever had. Does do warm up checks on ink supply and paper type, but once it's printing it's fast.
I knew going into this purchase that this printer used multiple color ink cartridges alnog with black ink cartridge. What I didn't know was that it required two black ink cartridges before it will work. It uses ink from both black ink cartridges so when your're out of black ink, you have to buy 2 black replacement cartridges to make it work. To get back-up supply of ink, I spent 70.00. Expensive ink!!!
