HP 8750

The HP 8750 prints B&W and Color beautifully. It took some time to figure out the right printer preference settings. I did not having experience with color management settings so for awhile my prints were coming out way too dark. Once the settings were correct between my Corel Paint Shop Pro X software and 8750 printer life was good. I am still amazed that the engineers at HP can't get the paper to feed through perfectly aligned every time, not that it's off that much. Overall the printer turns out awesome 13x19 prints which are much more impressive than 8.5x11, and has taken my photos to a professionally looking level.

Very good prints at reasonable price

I bought this printer used for $90. Set up via Ethernet was relatively easy, although I haven't been able to get USB to work. I've printed on HP Premium Plus Soft Gloss, and the quality is very very good. Color rendition could be better, but allowing CS3 to control color helps.

I've also printed on an Epson 3800 and 7800, and this printer is not far off in terms of quality prints - with the exception of deep blue skies. The HP 8750 does not handle extensive areas of deep blue sky well (golden hour at Sunrise/Sunset). The subtle tonal variations tend to get lost.

Supplies (consumables such as 3 ink catridges and 25 sheets of premium paper) run about $140 for 30 8x10 prints. That averages to $4.50 per 8x10 print . . . ouch, but not much worse than other photo prints. The standard cartridges for photos are HP Photo Blue (101), HP Tri-color (97), and HP Photo Grey (102). There are different cartridges available for special printing, such as sepia or colored line drawings.

I've called HP for customer support. The first person hung up on me after realizing they could not fix the problem. The second person was much more helpful. I've heard some people describe HP support as a "mine field", but you can get quality technical support if you are dilligent.

I like this printer alot. I will use it for art school homework, but probably not for my fine art prints that I intend to hang - like I said, color rendition can be very very good, but for certain colors is not consistent.

Couldn't be happier!

I've had this printer for several years now. I bought it (at an incredible bargain price) refurbished, which worried me at first. But it has turned out to be a super performer.

The (photo) print quality is very good, and the large format images are impressive.

On the down side, you start to realize you (and other people) don't have the wall space for too many tabloid or B-size prints. And framing is expensive.

Also, I like the fact that this is a network printer, but the print drivers stopped working after a year or so (reinstalling them is on my to-do list). I can still use it by reading media cards directly from the printer.

I have printed over 100 large (12x16" or larger) photos, and countless smaller ones. The ink does last reasonably long, but a big print is going to cost you probably $3 or more in ink, plus the paper. But it's well worth it.
