Fast but terrible print quality

I won't go into details, many have already done so. This is mostly about print quality (which oddly enough is rarely mentioned). The print quality, especially when compared to Xerox Phaser or HP etc. is just terrible. However, it's definitely not 1200 x 1200 DPI like they claim. In my opinion it's not even 600x600. I would make it larger by about 300x600. That marketing hoax alone earned me two stars (sorry, print quality is critical to me). The printing speed is very fast, even after deep sleep. If you can get it at a lower price (it only costs $115) and you just want a cheap and fast device for billing and student use, it might suit your needs. I will try to upload comparison photos. Pros: - Fast wake up and print - Small form factor - Relatively quiet - Plug and play - Automatic two-sided printing - Full toner cartridge included Cons: - Terrible print quality - No WiFi/Bluetooth

Pros
  • Ease of use
Cons
  • Almost everything is ok
