Are colour prints on normal A4 paper faded and with little colour, or do they have a quality comparable to a normal laser or inkjet printer? I have had the opportunity to look at an Hp smarttank but the result is not the best, the colour is very dull. Thank you.

Question

Answer

The printouts from a colour copier are definitely richer. It always depends on what you need it for. Double-sided documentation with images and text is printed very nicely and cleanly and the sheets remain smooth and straight. A laser/copier is more suitable for posters. But no problem at all for normal printouts. You can also print on photo paper if you want a glossy finish. The price per page remains unbeatably low.

Answer

The colours of the ET-5850 are similar to those of a laser printer, depending of course on the settings. However, the heads have to be cleaned again and again with little use, as with other inkjet printers.
