My Samsung 365 works well with compatible cartridges but is "naturally" set for posters, so the colours tend to be "striking" if you read their blurb, or "garish" if you are normal. This can be sorted in the settings and photos come out looking like photos with the right setting.
Like any dot matrix type of printer, as noted above, pale colours are achieved by spacing the dots out allowing more white to be seen, so this shows on close examination of large areas of light colour where there is a look of newsprint. Again, this has to be considered when diagonal or curved lines or edges are involved. Any printer using dots (and that is effectively all of them) suffers, but the more dots the better. With inkjets, more dots means finer nozzles which in turn means more cleaning cycles so the printer becomes a device for squirting expensive ink into the printers internal nappy. Lasers don't have the head clogging problem, so while replacement cartridges do cost a lot, they last well.
