Does anyone have any experience with this printer? OfficeDepot has it going for $130 until Saturday and even if it isn't the perfect printer, that is a very good price for a 13" wide printer. My wife is oogling it for her 12x12 scrapbooking stuff... if it is good.

Well, despite the lack of response I figured the price was just too good to pass up. I got the 7000 and now I have to figure out something to print at 13x19 to see how good it really does look.

Well, let us know how it turns out.

Will do (now that I know someone is actually watching this).

I just got done printing my first large print off of it - from a maternity session from Sunday.

Pro: Relatively quick, 2 minutes or so for a 12x18 print at best quality.
Good gloss and sharpness of the picture.

Con: Orange/warm and a bit dark when compared to the images as on the monitor. Will have to investigate more - sure could be a calibration issue somewhere.
