Limitations

This printer is limited by its low print resolution compared to modern photo printers. It uses proprietary consumables, which can be difficult to source due to discontinuation. The device only supports small photo sizes, restricting its versatility for larger formats. Connectivity is limited to parallel ports, lacking USB or wireless interfaces standard today. Operating noise and warm-up times are higher than modern printers. The driver support is outdated, posing challenges for use with contemporary computer systems.
