This review is from: HP Photosmart C6180 Q8181A Up to 32 ppm Black Print Speed 4800 x 1200 dpi Color Print Quality Ethernet (RJ-45) / USB / Wi-Fi InkJet MFC / All-In-One Color Printer
Pros:
Fast for an inkjet. Photo lab quality photos. Individual color ink cartridges. Fairly low ink consumption (Yellow tends to get eaten up though), and low ink cost. Built in wireless, networking, and auto document feeder. Lots of little nifty features, and can even print out a sheet of notebook paper (Pretty cool). Built in pong game (Look it up :P). Pop up LCD screen for photos.
Cons:
Text isn't that great; hard to read small fonts, though the blacks look good. Ink yield is vastly inferior to HP's Officejet line. Yellow runs out fast. Small paper tray. Photos smear if they get wet.
Overall Review:
It's a great little printer for the price, but you can get double the black prints out of HP's L7000 Officejet series for the same price, and triple the color prints. Plus there is a large cartridge available for those machines that can do a whopping 2300 pages for only $35 (The 02 black is rated at 420 pages and costs around $20).
The photo quality is not as good, but behind a piece of glass or photo album it'd be hard to tell the difference. But even with the quality difference, you're looking at around $0.31 per photo for this printer, and somewhere in the range of $0.10 per photo on the Officejet series. Is three times the cost per photo worth it?
