Performance & Print Quality

In terms of performance, the F6V24AE delivered on its promises. The color reproduction was truly impressive; vibrant and accurate colors characterized both photos and documents. The text quality was crisp and sharp, making it ideal for professional documents. I printed numerous high-resolution images, and the glossy finish and luminosity were noticeable. The page yield lived up to expectations, lasting considerably longer than previous cartridges I’ve used with similar print volumes. I did experience a slight slowing of print speed when printing large, complex documents, but nothing significant enough to be a major concern.

The quick-dry ink was a welcome feature, especially when printing documents that needed to be handled immediately. No smudging or smearing occurred even when printing on less absorbent paper. The low-ink alert system worked flawlessly, providing ample warning before the cartridge ran empty, eliminating any unexpected interruptions. Active Ink Balancing seemed to work well, ensuring consistent color throughout the cartridge’s life.

Pros & Cons

  • Pros: Vivid color reproduction, crisp text, high page yield, quick-dry ink, accurate low-ink alerts, glossy finish, environmentally conscious design for easy recycling.
  • Cons: Slightly slower print speed for complex, large documents.

While there’s a minor drawback in print speed for very large documents, the overall performance and vibrant color output make it a strong contender in the multicolour ink cartridge market. I highly recommend this cartridge for users who prioritize print quality and value for money. The combination of vibrant colors, sharp text, and long-lasting performance make it a worthwhile investment.
