HP Photosmart 7960 Printer Review at Cameratown.com

The HP Photosmart 7960 is not a perfect product, but HP deserves a big slap on the back for having the vision and confidence to introduce this printer. HP's Photosmart flagship can claim a number of firsts, including the most comprehensive memory card compatibility yet, beating rivals to integrated xD card support. But it's that No.59 photo grey ink cartridge that makes the 7960 really special. Not only does it enable the 7960 to produce outstanding black and white prints but it further enhances HP's already much improved colour photo printing quality.

It hardly seems like a year has passed since I reviewed the HP 7960, that printer impressed me. Now HP have introduced their latest offering in the form of the HP 8450, an 8 ink colour printer that will even satisfy the traditional monochrome worker. The 8450 is capable of printing 4800 x 1200 dpi (optimised and printing from a computer, as opposed to direct print printing), in real term this means very smooth looking prints. This printer also claims to have a palette of over 72 million colours - did you know there were that many colours? This extended palette is due to HP Photo Ret Pro. The printer has built in memory card slots which support multiple card formats for direct printing from memory cards. Use the front camera port to print photos directly from PictBridge-enabled cameras using a USB cable, print photos from a USB flash drive, or print from a camera phone using the optional HP bt300 Bluetooth wireless printer adapter. In short this printer is going to appeal to a wide variety of users.
