| I purchased this little printer after my friend gave the printer two thumbs up. I have read many reviews about the printer and agian, two thumbs up. Honestly, the printer does a wonderful job. There are a couple draw backs that people normally do not hear about. The first draw back, is printing from a media card that you insert into the printer. The printer automatically trims a bit off the sides of the photos. So, you will need to be careful when taking pictures and remember; your printer may cut off some one's forehead. Another draw back is the lack of instruction for hooking the printer upto the computer. There really aren't any!! The only way to achieve the 4800x1200 DPI is to have the printer connected to a computer. If the computer is not connected, you get 2400 x 1200 DPI. Not to many reviews tell you this little tid bit of information. The biggest draw back to this printer is the cost per picture. The Inkjet will produce 120 images without a problem. ... Plus, the printer will only produce good, reliable images on HP photo paper (I have tried 2 other stocks of paper besides the HP paper without a good result) ... A wonderful quality about the printer is how easy it is to use right out of the box, and not hooked upto a computer. Without a comuter hooked upto this printer, I had the printer running within a few minutes. The printer came with a large poster style quick setup guide just for people like me.... It is idiot proof(LOL) The image quality is wonderful. You can barely tell the photo is from a printer. But the price per photo is rather high. You can purchase other prnters for about the same price that have costs per photo half of what this HP product does. |
