HP Photosmart B9180

$700.00 Released October, 2001

The Pros:Prints on the proper paper are extremely good, look photo-lab quality. Prints come out fairly quickly even at higher quality settings. Prints don't fade even if you accidentally leave them in the sun.

The Cons:Big printer, takes up a fair amount of room compared to other printers that work with this size of paper. Takes about a half-hour to get the printer properly calibrated after hardware setup and driver installation.

The Photosmart Pro B9150 is a top-of-the-line professional inkjet photo printer from HP. Primarily designed for light home/home office use due to its rather small ink cartridges, the B9150 allows you to print a large variety of paper sizes, including those too wide for regular photo printers.
