For eighty bucks, this little 1410 is a deal. Print speed and quality are both good very for the price, and the scanner is surprisingly good. The unit is compact enough to fit on a shelf beside my desk, and it operates quietly, too.
Some here have complained about the 1410's ink cartridges being small and short-lived. To that I say anyone who prints in volume will find an inkjet printer isn't going to be the most economical choice.

I've had the printer for two weeks. I'm in the process of printing invitations and have gone through two ink cartriges of both color and black.

The low price of the printer does not make up for the high cost of running it.

The psc 1410 is simple and easy to use, but ...
it has the smallest capacity ( 5 ml ) print cartridges I've ever seen. Be prepared to buy new ink cartridges every week!
