Customer Rating:
Summary: Dont buy this!
Comment: Has a mind of its own! The damn thing keeps telling me there is a paper jam when i know for a fact there is not,the cartridges are expensive and dont last long. Forget about nice quality photo prints,they are ruined by the mechanism that drives the paper through,it leaves a nice line across your pictures.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Cheap and adequate for occasional use.
Comment: Bearing in mind I got this thing new, for £40, and given my needs from it, I'm sufficiently impressed.
Hideously expensive ink cartridges, that and given the cost of photo paper I just wouldn't use it for what it's pegged as - a photo printer. That in itself is a bit of a dissapointing aspect of the whole product. Though, I don't know who wouldn't just nip to boots and print photos from one of their thingamy-whatsits with the touch screen, it's almost definately much cheaper? If it's not I'd be surprised.
However if you're doing the occasional print, and need a scanner every now and then, and could find the odd use for a stack of nice fast card readers - this is really more than adequate. Quick, Nice big screen on it, aesthetically acceptable, easy to install. Whadaya want for 40 squids?!

Summary: NOT Leopard Compatible!
Comment: Bought this printer a few weeks ago and could not get it to work in anyway with Mac OS X Leopard. Despite being advertised as being Leopard compatible and there being Leopard software the unit would not print. Scan and copy functions were fine but no printing. Replaced it with a Epson Stylus DX8400 for the same price and it has had zero issues and is a much better unit.

Summary: Good all rounder but can be fussy about paper
Comment: For very little money this piece of kit does a lot quite well.
Easy to install & integrated with Windows VISTA perfectly first time.
The colour monitor on top of the printer is handy & the C4180 accepts a good range of memory cards.
Being about to print even when the PC is off is also useful.
The scanning feature is quick & quite comprehensive.
The mono printing quality is fine with a good range of print quality options including printing on both sides of the paper.
The 'draft' quality option is very good - clear & easily readable.
Colour printing onto normal paper is OK. Its a bit slow, the colour is a little washed out but perfectly acceptable.
Printing onto photo paper (especially 6" x 4" size) is better & using good quality paper improves it more. (I find Tesco's "Finest" Super Gloss photo paper as good as any & cheaper than most)
The bundled software (for editing, viewing etc) is OK & quite easy to use (though Windows Photo Gallery is slightly easier to use for viewing & searching pictures) & gives easy access to the various print options, paper sizes etc.
Why not 5 stars?
Well, it IS quite demanding on the cartridge side, especially the colour & new cartridges are quite expensive.
Also, the printer can be 'fussy' about accepting stacks of paper; it will quite often attempt to pass several sheets at the same time even though they have already been separated & it does sometimes show a paper jam error message even after the paper has been removed (power off & on sorts this)
However, these minor issues aside I'd recommend this kit if your budget is about £50 & you aren't an intensive printer.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Smart simple & sturdy
Comment: This is a good all rounder - I use it for printing documents primarily and find that the quality of draft is adequate and for printing DVD labels it is fine also. I have had this printer for 6 months and not had to change a cartridge yet so I think that cartridge life is pretty good also. Have also used the scan facility and copy which work well and quickly. happy with the purchase - thanks.
