This is a "Hard Pass"...look at other options.
After 6 months the Cyan print head failed...Other than that it makes a great B&W/Gray scale printer....

Very fast and crisp printing.
I actually got this printer because I am a homeschool mom of 2 and other printers can't withstand the volume I print. This printer so far has been amazing with it. It connects to my phone with zero issues and prints out entire lesson plans within a minute or 2. The prints themselves look great and are nice and
