Great Printer, Clumsy App

Overall, this printer is very good! The print quality is great, the print speed is fine and once setup has been completed, it's almost effortless to use. I'm also a big fan of the new ink storage and refilling system - it's nice to be able to see exactly how much ink is left and which colours are running low. Supposedly, you can get 3 years worth of printing out of the first set of bottles. It certainly makes a nice change from the old cartridge model, where you simply had to trust that the ink had actually run out. The physical setup process is well explained with pictures to guide you throughout.
That said, there is one minor drawback. You have to download yet another app and create yet another account to set this printer up - it's not exactly plug-and-play. This app has to be downloaded onto any device that you want to use the printer with, and frustratingly it will regularly forget your details on the phone app. It's not poorly designed, unless you want to do something like change the language on it - say, for example, because it loaded in a language that you didn't expect, as in my case, and there doesn't seem to be any way to change it.
All that said, I believe the pros to this printer far outweigh this drawback and I can comfortably recommend it to anyone who has a little time free to complete the setup process.
