One excited crafter!

Printing has been a huge barrier to my craft productivity - not anymore!
I did the initial set up through the app and while I could print it did still show as not fully set up until after I connected my computer as well and ran through it on there. Which was fine once I worked it out. It then connected to new phones easily through wifi.
The family has adjusted well to the printer randomly going off while I am feeding the baby or putting her to sleep at night and I have enjoyed being able to print new knit or crochet patterns as I find them.
Printing PDF patterns does require the computers more advanced scaling settings in order to have the test square the correct size, so I would love to be able to do this from the phone in future! It was easy to test without printing the whole pattern though by printing the single page through the app.
I am very uncoordinated so was a little afraid of the ink bottle refills however they have the perfect amount in the full sized bottles that come with them and even the black that has some extra there is no concern of it overflowing with the structure of the bottles.
I don't feel as terrible printing out my larger sized patterns - or like I am going through a ton of ink and waiting for it to run out. I have printed several patterns and can't see any decrease in the tanks.
If I was printing high volumes daily I would perhaps want a higher speed printer however for my purposes the speed is fantastic.
It is convenient to print from email lists and requirements for my sons schooling and having hard copies has made check lists for camp and activities easier for the whole family to follow.
The packaging was also impressively foolproof and I was grateful to not have to wrestle tight styrofoam out of the box - instead having handles to gently slide it out.
Overall I highly recommend this printer. Long term it is well worth having the ink tanks and I am extremely grateful to have gotten rid of cartridges expense and disposal nightmare!
