The quality and speed are wonderful. It's quiet and prints black like a laser printer. The quality is THAT good. The color is on par with the best Epson photo printers and excels when using high-end, glossy super-bright HP paper. The photo quality with the optional photo inks is amazing. Even with the standard inks the photo print quality is superb. Installation is super easy and can be completed by even a novice with HP's "Quick Start" sheet included with the printer.

UPDATE: it smudges on kodak soft gloss paper. 19 of 19 people found the following review helpful: By aek03002 (USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: HP Deskjet 5440 Photo Printer (C9045A#B1H) (Office Product) I just got this printer and I'm impressed. The quality and speed are very good. When I use Fast Draft mode, it prints like my old printer (an Epson Stylus Color 880) did in normal mode. There's no lines and I really recommend this printer, especially if you are a student looking for a cheap alternative to paying for printing in your university computer lab (10 cents a page at my university). |
