What's more, the printer sits on a set of file drawers directly next to my desk, so I'm often at my computer working within a few inches of the machine - and office neighbors across the hall and two doors down could hear it with my door closed. I installed the tanks and did a test run, anyway, and felt disappointed with the color and saturation quality of my print, which barely resembled the item copied.

It was almost as if the act of plugging it in during install snapped it out. While I was placing the printer gently where it would belong and plugging it in, a random piece popped out of it - like a screw and tiny washer or pin - from under the area where it opens to the ink tanks. I began setting it up following the online instructions I could download from their site with the Users' Manual, conveniently. My first impression upon opening the box was "Oh, perhaps I chose the wrong one" because the package included a CD Rom on top, which I assume is loading software, but since I haven't used anything like that since 2014, I wasn't sure.

I worried about lugging my printer, myself, from a store to my office (both for the printer's safety's sake as well as my own - I have a hernia), so I had it shipped directly from the factory to where I work, where I'd be needing it. This is a very fast printer that seems like it could do great, if your ears are not sensitive to the maximum volume decibels apparently required to produce that capability.

Those are the questions I had to ask, and for me, the answer is: "Will there be a refund with this return?" Is the speed worth the loud sound? Is the speed worth the sound level?
