Review: Excellent printer.

Just a couple of corrections to the article. The larger black ink tank is not the ContrastPLUS one, it is the pigment-based ink for black text. It is the smaller black ink tank that's ContrastPLUS. Also, the Chromalife Pack does not include all inks as stated, but just the four dye-based inks. You still have to buy the larger black ink tank separately.
Pros: Prints pictures that look as good as those from the lab.
Cons: No drivers supplied for Linux. (Not relevant for Windows users.)
