HP DesignJet 800

Size is sometimes very important

Advantages: Prints are massive and very high quality
Disadvantages: Big initial outlay - unlikely to be useful for the average home user.

In the past when we have needed large format prints e.g. for health promotion campaign posters we have either done them by hand or outsourced them. Doing them by hand might sound like the cheapest option and its okay for one-offs but anything more than that has real costs in terms of ?man? hours. Outsourcing also has expensive costs and is only worth doing when you want a lot as this brings the cost per sheet down. Due to budget restraints we have had to think much more carefully about how we spend our money and how we can also generate more income. This is the main reason we started to cost oversized printers. These have always tended to be expensive as they were aimed mainly at the commercial market but are now much more reasonable. We decided to buy the HP DesignJet 130, A1 Inkjet Printer mainly due to its price but also because ...

Another HP printer

Advantages: Prints upto A1 size, looks ok
Disadvantages: Eats coloured ink cartridges

The HP design Jet printer, was purchase from the dreaded PC world complete with stand. **Looks** It's about 1500mm wide, so it's not suitable for a standard PC desk. It has a 50mm x 40mm display with three easy to push buttons. It has an ocean blue strip on the lid and the receiver tray is the same colour. The large lid lifts to show the internal parts, all printing stops if this is lifted - good safety feature. To the right hand side is where the cartridges are held. The stand is an optional extra but well worth it as it takes up a lot of room. This is matt dark grey, with a foldable paper catcher. The catcher is ideal for large A1 prints when leaving the room. (This is because if the prints fall the paper becomes creased, no good for issuing to others) ***Cartridges*** This printer takes an array of cartridges ...

Review of HP DesignJet 120

HP Pavilion dv6

Advantages: Slick, lightweight design; good performance; built-in webcam;
Disadvantages: Low battery life, glossy display can be reflective

thought 1280×800 was a good resolution to use for a 15.4â?³ screen. My only complaint with the screen is that the glare is really bad when trying to use the unit outside. It gets so bed you might as well look at a mirror with a dark background This unit uses AMD rather than Intel meaning that it generates more heat. the performance of this notebook is quite good. It actually opens many apps much faster than my desktop PC, which is using an Intel Pentium dual core. So, there are no complaints about speed, but, it does generate a lot of heat heat. The HP Pavilion DV6 is a really nice, solid laptop and you really can?t go wrong with it. The price makes it very affordable. The unit has a nice, sleek design and good all-around performance. It also offers a solid balance of features which really makes this laptop usable as a desktop ...
