The double sided capability is a nice bonus. We leave this printer off for about 6 mo a year when we are away and it comes up on the first print with no issues or head cleaning. ter and with the highest (most thirsty) resolution and photo paper it will do a great job on photos but for text etc you should set it for lower resolution and you will not see any difference, saving a lot of $$ on ink. Those that complain about ink usage need to go into setup and set the resolution down to a lower level for their every day printing. Resolution for both scanning and printing is great. I use it with OSX, Windows 10 and two iPhones wirelessly. I wanted one with a single color cartridge since most of the printers I have had with individual color cartridges ate ink and always needed a full set when the first one ran out. I have the previous mode (MG 3520 and it works great.
