A great printer for the money

by heatherLi1983 on June 3, 2009

Pros: Elegant look, photo quality print, installation.

Cons: You have to work with printer sttings a bit to get actual borderless photos. If it did it by just clicking borderless photo, I would've given it a 5.

Summary: This is a great printer. It was $100 and I played it smart this time and purchased a 2 year store warranty, which EVERYONE, no matter how good you think ...

Summary: This is a great printer. It was $100 and I played it smart this time and purchased a 2 year store warranty, which EVERYONE, no matter how good you think the printer is, should do so to avoid costly manufactuer mistakes. Its very pretty looking, it matches all of my other computer things, and the photos are quite nice, actually. My only complaints are the fact that you have to go through several steps to get the actual borderless printing. I had to print out about 5 to figure it out. You have to select borderless and on the final screen, where a print preview is, chose the second out of the two choices for printing, and it will show up on the preview as borderless, and that is what you'll get. Also there's no real photo editing software, so I just edit my pictures and save them before I print. That's the only two not so great things about it. The cost of ink is also VERY cheap (only a few dollars more than Kodak, and Kodak also wastes more ink. It was a terrible printer, I got my money back, tried a cannon for $75, hated the borders and poor photo quality, then got this one, now I'm happy). In summation, I love this printer. It has an lcd touch screen, and it is very convienent, and attractive. After 5 printers, I am finally happy with my final choice!

As with the scarcity of ink issues, I have a shortcut right on my desktop that orders direct from hp with FREE 2 day shipping via fedx. It was so convienent. It was EXACTLY the same price as the ink is a best buy, but i didn't have to drive 45 minutes! I LOVE HP! I can't tell you what a nightmare finding the right printer was, but it was worth it in the end. I will continue to purchase from HP. I want to get a laptop, so I found pink one from hp. i will definitely purchase my laptop from hp, they're the best! and their prices rock!

Pros: I like almost everything about this printer. It prints fast, photo quality is fantastic.

Cons: Uses ink quite quickly, but the ink is cheap, both cartridges for $32.
