Hi everyone, I hope the following review is helpful to you and please leave a feedback for me along with any comments if you have some.
As usual I will start with cost ......
*********COST******** There is definately a wide range of prices floating about on this product but £409.99 is probably the average. I have to admit that it really is probably 1 of the most expensive on the market.
*********SIZE*********** This is definately by no means a samll printer. But then again it has to be to cope with the fact that it can print up to A3+ prints. However, the main paper tray is small and it only needs to be fully opened when printing large sheets. the full dimensions are (W x D x H) 67 x 43 x 24 cm.
********SET-UP******* The initial set-up is really quite lengthy. The inks have to be primed before you install the heads and as this printer uses separate colour cartridges and four, two-colour print heads, this in itself takes time, neverminding the fact that the printer takes half an hour to calibrate itself at the initial set-up. Also while it is doing this it produces a number of progressively improving print-outs. This is a one off calibration, but note that it does perform a shorter recalibration when it detects a different size of printer paper.
********PRINT QUALITY*********** I have to say with regards to speed and print quality, this is an excellent printer. But as I said this type of quality doesn't come cheap. I have to say that the colours are definately very vivid and beautifully rich and solid. The colours blend naturally and are sharp. A plus to me is the borderless printing and you can do this up to A3+ (330 x 483 mm). I feel that the Printing Technology used (HP Thermal Inkjet) certainly works well. Also this printer automatically detects the size of paper you are using. The quality is as good in large prints as in small.
**********SPEED********* Definately the print speeds are very good with this model. It can easily produce a A3+ print in less than 2min 30secs, to an excellent standard.
*********** WARRANTY*********** The standard warranty for this product is a one-year limited hardware warranty, but I know that this can be extended at some dealers.
***********INCLUDED********** The Photo Printer itself (obviously), HP 70 Printheads (x4), HP 38 Pigment Ink Cartridges with Vivera Inks (8 individual ink cartridges), HP Photosmart Premier Software on CD-ROM, HP ProPrint plug-in for Adobe Photoshop®, user's guide, power cord and a quick start booklet.
*************OVERALL************** Most definately this is a printer that is aimed at the professional and creative photographer. It is a real heavy duty printer and there is nothing dainty about it. It would definately appear more than capable of copying with heavy duty use. The colour quality is 1st rate as is the speed. It really does give you that superb opportunity to print large photos with A1 quality. I really do have to say that unless you are a serious digital photographer, this is not the printer for you. The price reflects the quality.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this review. I really do hope this has helped you. Please do leave a feedback for me.
Advantages: The best high res print outs Disadvantages: Maintenance costs.
The most beautiful printer I have EVER bought! Cleanest prints!
The pros of this printer are:
1-Great print quality (Actual photo standard unlike some other printer's claims out there)
2- Very quiet
3-Beautiful model
The cons of this printer are:
1- 8 inkcartridges, , all of which are very expensive to replace
2- Awkward feeding method, not the traditional method of feeding manually so may take some getting used to.
3- Very difficult interfacing, ... ...faults the end product is well worth the buy. Cost wise it's not completely out of the world which was one of the main attractions, however the maintenance cost of the printer is something to watch as I have just spent £300 over one year just on inks. Despite this, a must buy for any type of graphics/architecture firm/students. ...

Advantages: Printer quality will lost for many many years Disadvantages: please check my Drawbacks list with this printer:
I had brought this printer particularly to print my beautiful photos. Based on my experience the photos quality is simply superb. I have stuck few A3 size (bigger scenery photos) photos on my room walls without any laminations, already few months ago and I'm cleaning dust with cloth once in a while but still the photo print quality is very good, not seen even small shading on the print. I never had seen this kind of print quality in my life time. ... ...Drawbacks with this printer: • It takes hell a lot of time to initialize the printer (minimum 15 to 20 minutes) by this time your 5 to 10% of ink cartridge will become empty.
• It consumes too much of ink and ink bags are sky high price.
• After a few months the whole printer with full of aerosol ( full of ink) • Printing time is very very….slow
• Very bad paper skew happens once in a while (particularly when you print ...
