Bruce, I am hesitant to say "better than" because I've only done a few one-on-one comparisons. Further, when it comes to prints "bettr than" can be a very subjective statement.

My initial point is that if this meets your needs and you are in the market for a printer you can save on initial outlay and on the cost of consumables; as someone who prints thousands of sheets of paper in smaller sizes cost considerations are very important.

More to come.
