The answer turned out to be very well indeed. The 1150C looks like a small copier with a lift-up lid on the top. Material to be copied or scanned is placed here. I liked this arrangement immediately because I wasn't constrained to working with single sheets only. It was easy to process books or magazines without damaging the original.
Paper is fed in from and output to built-in trays mounted low in the front.
Color copies were really good, albeit with the noticeable, not unattractive graininess common to most color inkjets. Unfortunately, while black and white document copies were exceptional, bands across the images flawed gray-scale graphics output. Bands were more exaggerated in lower resolutions, but were present in all. Scanning also went well. Both Adobe PhotoShop LE and Adobe PhotoDeluxe are provided with the 1150C to make image scanning, handling and editing a snap.
