WHAT'S HOT: At first we thought the Z605's $50 price tag might be a mistake, but it's not. We were reasonably satisfied with its print quality: Small text on plain paper looked feathered around the edges, but fortunately the bold black letters didn't bleed together. (Note: Coated ink jet paper does not improve text quality with this printer.) Gray-scale photos showed nice detail and shading despite a slightly dotted texture. Color photos were detailed and had accurate hues, but were marred by some banding on plain paper; on glossy paper, though, they looked smooth and clean. We like the fact that the Z605's paper trays fold closed to save room and seal the printer when not in use; however, the trays feel flimsy, so you must treat them gently.
