What I found most impressive about the A516 is the fact that I managed to get a total of 23 prints on a single cartridge. Though, I should tell you that the highest settings were used on all 23 prints. The twenty-fourth print did show a few minor signs of the ink giving out, so I’m sure if you were not to go into too much detail you could easily end up with at least 26 prints on those settings. But of course you also need t o know that the last 2 or 3 would not be at optimum quality but good never the less. On the other hand had the settings been toned down a bit you will definitely get plenty more. So keep that in mind.
Another accessory that makes the printer even more appealing is the Bluetooth adapter that can be used with the printer for wireless prints. Again, unfortunately, it's not included, but I know I'd buy one.
Conclusion
Whats really remarkable about the A516 is the price. At Rs. 5499, I think it’s a real steal. It’s small and compact. Although it may be a wee bit heavy, it’s not at all difficult to manage. Cartridge prices will set you back Rs. 840 per cartridge and that’s not bad either. Not one bit! With the quantity of prints the A516 is capable of dishing out you simply can’t go wrong with this. What can I say, I’m now a fan!
