+ No need to connect with wires - accepts various digital cards and will connect directly with camera. Separate ink cartridges - only replace the ones that are empty. Compatible cartridges are around £2.50 each. Excellent print quality. Prints A4 photos without any visible grain or lines. Now as cheap as £85 in places. Superb value for money. Easy to use controls and preview screen

Mark, Croydon
+ Very easy to use with good on-screen directions. Very good prints and copying but too early to evaluate cost of printing.
- Quite large - previously had RX425 which was more compact for fitting into limited space, but would still recommend RX585

Terry, Norfolk
+ Set up was very easy with clear on screen instructions. Even a technophobe like myself was able to get up and running quickly. The one down side was that I wasn't advised that it didn't come with a USB connector. Otherwise, everything has gone very well. Instructions for printing in different mediums, i.e. paper, CDs etc are very clear with "wizards" to help. Very well pleased with the RX585.

Paul, Glasgow
+ unlike some of the reviews i had read i found it quite straight forward and easy to install this printer. And compared to my previous printers it is relatively quite. The print quality is really good and far better than anything i've used before.
- Like most people i like value for money and the price of replacement ink catridges is very expensive. Also the printer while looking good is quite big and bulky and may not suit some people if space is at a premium.

David, Middleton, Manchester
+ The printer is good value because it includes cd/dvd printing which at the time of purchase there was not one printer in the same price range with this feature.
- The ink catridges do not last long and are to expensive, the printer will not work with cartridge refills.

B, Trowbridge
+ it a brilliant piece of kit i like the quality of the printing on disc as well as the normal printing
- the only bad point i find is that the mark to line up the c.d tray could be a bit brighter as people with poor eyesight might find it a bit hard to see it

+ Excellent print quality as promoted in advert. Would agree, quality is better than normal lab printing.
- Does not allow index printing from anything bigger than a 512Mb SD card. Hard to believe I know, but checked this with EPSON.

+ Good print quality, nice design, original cartridges in good price (compared to other brands),
- quite big ink consumption, a bit too noisy

Spencer, Leicester, “I'm the Family TecMan”
+ I bought this for my 76yr old Father, and he can use it on his own. Ease of use print quality, 6 individual cartridges, LCD display, and a copier. What more could you ask for in a printer. Nothing needs improving.

Dave, Yorkshire
+ Simple to operate & easy to use considering all that it does.

- when printing with either pictures of test on the bottom of the page, the paper folder and ink bleads over the page making the print look really messy like ink has been spilt.

David, South Shields, “An It Technician”
+ Cracking price for an all round good bit of kit. Prints to CD's, Photo paper and most other media. Has built in scanner along with memory card slots and USB connectivity. Does it all. Even use as a Photocopier!
- No fax ability.

+ fairly quiet; once it begins to print, speed is acceptable; feels well built
- after print buton is pressed, takes annoyingly long time to begin printing.

Sue, Beaworthy, “Make my own cards”
+ Print quality excellent, especially for photos. I really like the ability to print directly from the memory stick and the quality of scanned photos is amazing.
- I think the print cartridges are expensive to buy.

Dave, Harrow
+ Magnification in copy mode - infinitely variable up to 400%. Extremely useful and the main reason I chose this machine. Print quality good and machine prints close to edges of paper.
- 6 ink cartridges needed, instead of 4. Ink cartridges are not compatible with my existing Epson copiers. Head cleaning will not work when any one of the cartridges is low on ink.

Alastair, Hereford
+ The item was purchased through your promotion in June. For an 'all in' copier, printer and scanner, it is the best this company has used (we have three of the same models) It is very good value for the money
