The HP DeskJet 5550c is great value for money if you want photo quality prints. It does great prints and the colour is enhanced by the fact that it uses 6 colours to print with instead of the usual 3. I use mine to print, photos, documents, everyday text and various other things. All come out at great quality which makes this printer great value for money as far as the quality of prints goes.

However the bad points are that there are definatly faster printers out there and the ink is a little expensive.

The printing isn't particularly slow but it could be faster. However you get what you pay for. For a professional rapid printer you would defiantly pay more.

The ink is rather expensive as it comes in small catridges and you have to buy replacement catridges. There are no refills. this makes each print more expensive.

If you aren't going to print often but you want great quality when you do print then this is a great printer. However if you print often then you may want to try a Canon or some other brand for better economy. It is a cheap printer but the ink is more expensive then in other printers.

Other then that, it is fairly easy to use and is great value for money!
