    Rated 5 out of 5 by denisc9 from Great! This printer delivers exceptional quality prints with vibrant colors and sharp details. It's perfect for large projects, and the setup was straightforward. Worth the investment for professional results!

    Rated 4 out of 5 by kerib31 from Very Large colorful poster printer. This is a good large poster printer to be used in a school or office or business. I would not recommend for personal use as the size of this printer is very large and take up space and the cost of the ink cartridges if used constantly could be not cost effective if wast used on investment return. But if you are using for purposes you need for I recommend. I personally at home print on demand for my small business and this is being used in the school. It works great prints quickly and quietly color is great full coverage no missing spots great printer.

    Rated 3 out of 5 by gracep10 from Large This is massive and works well. I’m not too sure how often I’ll use it bc I don’t really print anything of this size but its quality is pretty good. If you need a large printer it’s not bad.

    Rated 3 out of 5 by Michelle4184 from Postscript printer did not have postscript install The postscript printer did not have software/firmware installed. Working with technicians we finally got it working but it remains slower than the Z6 and only slightly faster than the T790 it replaced.
