I use the printer for making leaflets and printing photgraphs. This means I tend to use a lot of blue and black ...
The HP Photosmart B8550 Photo Printer is designed for family photographers looking for the best of both worlds: the freedom to print photos as large as A3+ and the versatility to be able to produce fast everyday documents from the same machine.
