HP say this printer is designed to "unleash the full potential of colour in the office by printing quickly and brilliantly on more types of media than ever". Let's take a look at this statement:
"Printing quickly" - OK it is quicker than your average home printer but it is slow compared to many office printers I have used
"Printing brilliantly" - erm, nope. We have had 2 of these printers in ... ...home printer.
I think HP were aiming at the smaller business market here, those who couldn't afford laser jets but who still wanted to print in colour, great idea in theory but in my opinion you may as well just buy a cheap printer from Currys as it will do just as good a job (if not better).

Advantages: It prints, kind of. Disadvantages: Read my review...
I've just reviewed the HP 1055cm plotter which is an exceptional machine.
This on the other hand can only be described as a waste of space.... HP, what did you do wrong????!!!!!!

Unfortunately, HP seem to have tried to squeeze plotter mechanics into an A3 printer - that’s the only reason I can give to the bulk of this machine and the obscure way it works.
The 2600 also seems severely under resourced in terms of memory. Its an A3 printer capable of A3 photo prints but doesn't seem to have the necessary memory to cope.
My advice to you - go and buy an Epson for half the price and get better quality, more space ...
