Does what it says on the box

Oct 5, 2006

Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: Good all rounder
Cons: Drinks the inks, build quality not up to MP700s & 800s but good for price
Opinion:
Had an MP790 which completely broke down exactly after one year (shorted main board) so replaced it with MP530. So far so good but still cautious about product quality after previous experience but found that there were no other brands that offered this kind of quality and flexibility for this money (plus cheaper consumables, though they've hiked the prices of cartridges up too, from the 3 and 6 series to the 5s and 8s)
We use it for both photo printing and office work - fast for b&w doc prints and great photo quality.
