The HPs look interesting enough, but I never see any mention of available/usable papers.
In my memory, the feed of HPs is not flat, but curved, is this still the case?

Can you use Oriental "baryt" papers for instance? Or aquarel papers?

Any info (or links) on that subject?

Overall a fine review. I did find the black & white section in "Points to Note" confusing. It sounds as though a sepia cast is unavoidable if a matte paper is used and/or borderless printing is chosen. Is it one or both of these variables? There is are statements throughout the review that also claim b&w printing is just about perfect, right out of the box. Please clarify

The sepia cast appeared on matt paper using the ICC profile for that paper-type - black and white prints on the glossy and satin papers were fine. You can't choose borderless for any kind of black and white print - no idea why!

Obviously a lot of work went into this review.

In order to place this in reference to existing printers, the same prints from the Epson and competing Canon printers would be helpful and make the review very relevent.

Hi Asher,

I will hopefully be receiving the Epson R1800 soon and will repeat the same tests for that printer.

I may also run some of them on my own Epson 2100 / 2200 for comparison's sake.

Did you try getting a drop of spittle on the print or a drop of water, to see the results? The sample 8750 print HP sent me got a spittle drop on it & when wiped off the inks came with it. Completely ruined the print. I wonder about the prints ability to last in high humidity & its keeping properties in the framing shop while waiting to be put behind glazing?

Thank you! Very thorough, one thing you left out was mac compatibility, I'll went to HP site and they have version 3.0 compatiblile with Mac OS10.4, nice!! I love the idea of the archival inks although I'm leaning towards a Canon I9950...comments or suggestions?

I presently own a Photosmart 8450, and in
looking at the test photos you show, I noticed most of the prints come out lighter
than the test photos. Also the yellows and pinks seem to be a little washed out. Other than that I think it is a good printer for
the serious photographer.

To my PC (os windowsXP) I have 2 Canon printers connected, i9950 and iP5000.
Now both print only cyan, also b/w pictures.
Cartriges are full.
What kind of software problem can this be?

I have always used Epson printers and thought that I would try something different on the advice of a friend who has always used HP printers. This review was brilliant it really helped me to understand the features of the printer and its capabilities. I am just starting my own company and of course there are many considerations -not least of which being the financial outlay. The last comments on this review (and I read it all) helped me to decide whether to go HP or stick with Epson. Many thanks for your help.
