Rated 5 out of 5 by Aussiedudeee from Fantastic z6dr printer Fantastic printer. Upgraded from an epson 24inch T printer to expand my art printing abilites and the z6dr is awesome. The print quality is extremely sharp and colour reproduction is spot on. I was a little worried from the negative reviews but I have not had any issues with mine. The V trimmer is fantastic and well worth it along with the dual roll feature.

Rated 4 out of 5 by QUE2U from Good, but no use for right vertical trimmer - causes issues a LOT! We've had this for quite a few years. Love the double roll option as we are always using different size rolls. The only problem I have with it is with the right vertical trimmer. I don't understand why there has to be a right vertical trimmer, it only trims a small amount of paper. Because of this, the paper sometimes won't properly enter the right vertical trimmer. If there was only a left vertical trimmer, it could just use the right side of the paper like it normally does when not using the vertical trimmers. Why was the printer not made like this? It would make more sense to only have one vertical trimmer.
