HP (Hewlett-Packard) Photosmart 8750 Inkjet Printer - Color - Photo Print - Desktop

HP 8750

Strengths: High detail from RAW files, excellent color, easy to use, 13x19

Weakness: Three inks per cartridge, not speedy on 13x19, Does not allow roll paper or longer than 19 inches, costly ink.

I have been very impressed with what can be done with a RAW file from a 5MP camera. Don't use jpg. Shop for price on both units, inks and paper.

Very nice printer

Strengths: Awesome quality. Prints from 3"x5" all the way up to 13"x19". Built-in networking.

Weakness: Big size. It would be nice if small display were color as other, cheaper HP printers are.

I was an Epson man and finally got tired of the print heads that were always clogged up when I needed to use it. I wanted a high-quality, networked color printer. This one had outstanding print quality reviews (found in other forums) so I gave it a try. The printer arrived and I was a little shocked how big it was. I bought it off the Internet without actually seeing one firsthand. I guess I...

I was an Epson man and finally got tired of the print heads that were always clogged up when I needed to use it. I wanted a high-quality, networked color printer. This one had outstanding print quality reviews (found in other forums) so I gave it a try.

The printer arrived and I was a little shocked how big it was. I bought it off the Internet without actually seeing one firsthand. I guess I should have realized that a printer that goes up to 13"x19" would be big. Luckily, I had the room. It set up easily for both my Mac and PC. I printed some borderless 4"x6" pictures; the detail and color quality were superb. They looked as good as Kodak prints from film.

The networking is great. This is a "must have" option for me as it allows my whole family to print from any computer in the house.

Originally, I was a little confused about how to place photo paper in the upper tray. You have to stuff it almost all the way in the printer; not just set it on the tray. It seems a little odd but, now that I know how it works, all is fine.

Extremely Poor Quality Printer

Strengths: Nice features

Weakness: Abysmal quality

It took me 10+ hours with HP support, three weeks, and four (yes, that's 4) different printers before I got one that would actually print consistently. After printing about 8 pictures with no problems, now the printer's putting a 1/4 inch band of lighter color on the right edge of all of my B-sized prints. HP will not refund my money. I now have a $400 memory card reader. Stay away from this...

By the way, if HP has to send you a replacement printer, they will not send a brand new printer--they will only send factory refurbished models.

Excellent Printer!

Strengths: Bluetooth support (w/ optional bt450) lots of RAM for large photos huge paper tray with separate photo paper feeder for 5x8 & 4x7

Weakness: huge! better have the desk space

I got this printer for my wife so she could print from her iMac in RAW format, her old photo printer (4700 series) would choke on the RAW pictures, but this one is performing like a champ. With the optional bt450, she's printing over BlueTooth with no separate USB connection, eliminating one more more cable from the "cable clutter". Mac users, just plug in the bt450 on the printer's front USB...

Solid printer

Strengths: great 13X19 prints

Weakness: not so great 4X6

Got this machine at a great price and can't complain. It is well built, the large prints are great but the ink is expensive and machine is huge! Also, 4X6's have had some issues. I am yet to contact hp for help but i'm sure ill get it resolved. Overall, if you can get this for a lo price (which now you can compared to the orig. 499.99) then it will be well worth its weight in large scale prints....

A tad slow but who cares when the prints look great and last longer than you do!
