Now to office document printing. The Stylus Photo 820 is a notch lower than its rivals. On standard paper, the print runs a bit, the characters lack precision and those integrated into illustrations (captions, headings, etc.) are often fuzzy. And there are noticeable jagged edges on special characters. This is especially noticeable when rather unusual, bold or large fonts are used, and even just on caps.

In short, this is a printer for photo mode. If you need to use a device regularly for office work, you'd be better off choosing another model with higher performance, or else a spare printer. Why not a little personal laser?
