Summary of Reviews

Expert reviewers were pleased with the performance of the CM1312nfi. The print quality was superb for both photos and text. The larger paper feed trays helped to reduce time wasted when the printer runs out of paper. The fax machine also worked better than the competition.

Users liked the picture quality just like the experts. The built in features are just about everything that a small business user or home office user could want. Some users noted that while photos came out looking good, it was apparent it wasn’t a photo printer. The text and graphs came out vivid and crisp, good enough to print your own marketing materials.
