MUST BUY!!! PROS AND CONS
Review of HP PhotoSmart Pro B9180 by
benlee1083
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. ...

Release the Beast!
Review of HP Business Inkjet 3000 by
random8
Advantages: Fast, accurate colours, great photos, separate colour cartridges
Disadvantages: Huge, hand feed tray tricky to use
This printer is a beast. A bit of overkill for us as it is currently only used by 2 different work stations. We bought this printer as we wanted accurate colours for leaflets and flyers we produced ourselves of photo quality on plain paper - this machine delivers!
However delivery of the machine was not as easy - our office is at home and the box only just passed through the front door. It takes two to lift the printer sensibly - or one brave strong ... ...with wheels so that we can move it easily, although this is just for cleaning behind it occasionally. This machine prints accurately and clearly on all types of paper we have used from 60g copy paper to card, from tape labels to transparancy.
We have owned this machine for over 3 years and have never had to call anyone out - just what you expect from HP.
The cartridges are extremely easy to change - you just open a hatch on the side of the front ...

Soon to be gone but never forgotten!
Review of Epson Stylus Photo R300 by
thebigc1690
Advantages: A quiet, easy to use, very good quality photo printer.
Disadvantages: Has now been super-seeded.
The Epson photo R300 printer has been made redundant by Epson so I am writing this review as a mark of respect to a once great machine but also to let anyone looking for a good photo printer know that there are still some of these going around at now great prices.
The Epson R300 was one of the first of its kind, a photo printer that could print straight from the memory card so no need for a PC or laptop, simply slip your memory card into the appropriate ... ...software that comes with the Epson R300 and take your printing to another level. What most people were asking was "could this printer really print lab quality photos"? Well the answer to that is no it cannot but it can come very close if you use good enough glossy paper and the genuine Epson ink cartridges.
As a pro photographer I would never have considered offering my customers prints that I had done on this printer but it did come in very useful ...

For your occasional use
Review of HP LaserJet P1006 by
prattt69
Advantages: easy installation,fast 18-20ppm speed
Disadvantages: use occasionally
...certainly has great compact lines.
HP kept the getting started guide on the driver cd given.But you can check other option like animated installation video which guide you through all the steps of installation,and it takes pause for you to read out the instruction well so there is no chance of getting lost.To quick start install the software and connect the USB cable.
HP quotes up to 16ppm for A4 pages,but my experience with results into more faster ... ...is obviously designed for quite rare and occasional use, as you can only see its impressively discreet features when the input and output trays folded closed. The input tray folds up on the front of the printer and the output tray folds over its top. There's no cover to protect the 100+ sheets of paper in the input tray, which can catch dust and other particles . ...

Hp deskjet 1280
Review of HP Deskjet 1280 by
anurag440044
Advantages: Effecient, fast, durable
Disadvantages: none found yet
I have been using Hp deskjet 1280 for around more than a year now almost {i think}. The only time when my product wasn't working was during the service time of the printer, that too lasted only for an hour.
Believe me, the printer is very very versatile. The maximum size of printer paper that can be put is universal A3 size. The printing quality is very crisp and the color quality is just too good. The printer gives out color prints in almost less ... ...pretty cheap which comes at around 2000 rupees that is around 42$. The servicing of the printer takes very less time and the printer has a warranty of around a year.
The overall efficiency of the printer is too good and the printer works almost on everything, ranging from networks to usb cords, without any glitches. ...
