The disappointment is complete, the product is not at all what I imagined.

In general, as they said here, it is absolutely not economically feasible to buy this printer either for home, or even more so for the office, it is disposable at the current price for original consumables. I do not consider printing on non-original toner, because if it produces such worthless quality on the original, it's scary what will happen on the subsute .
I summarize:
Disposable (as long as there is factory toner) printer for printing text and color plates and graphs. Do not even think about taking it for printing color graphics and photos.

Pros

Takes thick paper, prints on media up to 300 g/m. Two-sided printing. On this, perhaps, all its advantages end.

Cons

1. From time to time, for some reason, it changes its IP address, I have to rearrange the drivers (I work via WI-FI). 2. Very poor print quality of color graphics, I generally keep quiet about color reproduction. A resolution of 1200 is just marketing here. Prints color graphics with some kind of grid (if you look closely). I use original cartridges. 3. The price of consumables is simply sky-high. Kiocera are you there quite coo-coo? In cartridges, instead of toner, golden sand ? . For 1 cartridge consisting of a plastic box, a chip and several tens of grams of toner, you need to pay about 6, respectively, for 4 - 24 This is just a file of universal scale and universal greed.
