Advent AW10 Ink Cartridges

Advent AW10 Printer Description

Home users will often look for a machine that has printing, scanning and copying functionality with the ability to also print photographs.

The Advent AW10 is an ideal printer for those looking for all those things at a price which is affordable. As an A4 printer, it benefits from a print resolution of up to 9600dpi and a colour scanner with 1200dpi.

Print speeds are more than acceptable for users who’ll look for this machine to produce high quality images and documents at a low volume. The AW10 is also a relatively compact machine that can be accommodated on a desktop and the addition of a memory card slot will be a feature welcomed by amateur photography enthusiasts wanting to print photos direct from their camera.

With wireless connectivity as standard, this can allow you to print from any room in the house whilst photo print quality is aided by Kodak’s colour technology. The paper capacity for this device is 100 pages.

Advent AW10 Expert Review

The Advent AW10 Wireless All-in-One inkjet printer is a very affordable printer for home use. The multifunctional device prints, scans, and copies while connected either to a PC or on its own.

The printer can create high quality prints at resolutions of up to 9600dpi and it is rated for speeds of up to six pages per minute monochrome or up to four pages per minute colour. It can also print a 10 by 15cm full colour photo in about 45 seconds. The Kodak colour technology helps keep every print clear and with accurate colours. It uses two ink cartridges, one for black ink and one for tri-colour.

The AW10 features a small full colour screen for using the device without an attached PC. This lets users make copies easily, including reducing or enlarging the photo, while also letting users easily print from their memory cards or from a USB flash drive.

The scanner can scan images at resolutions up to 1200dpi. Thanks to the wireless capability, users can scan photos directly to any wireless device. Of course, printing from wireless devices is also available and is very easy to do.
