5.0 out of 5 stars A beautifully engineered printer for serious photographers, March 1, 2006

This review is from: HP Photosmart 8250 Printer (Q3470A#ABA) (Office Product)
This is an excellent printer for the serious photographer. The images are clear, sharp, and crisp, and professional in every way, at least to my amateur eye. I am a picky amateur photographer, and I bought this printer so that I could easily print 8x10, 5x7, and 4x6 photos from my several digital cameras. This printer does the job. This is a beautifully engineered and solid piece of equipment.

Some technical issues. Beware, when the ink first prints, it smears easily, so let it dry for a few minutes--it dries quickly enough. I am happy to say that the photo download from the card reader slot (I measured it on the CF card reader--I haven't tried it for my SD cards yet) is lightning fast, as compared to my older HP printers, I guess that is the USB 2.0 that this device features. This is a welcome improvement--earlier HP printers lagged behind even cheap card readers in speed. No more.

So far my print feeds have been flawless and jam-free. You can...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Printer, November 6, 2005

MT (Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: HP Photosmart 8250 Printer (Q3470A#ABA) (Office Product)
I bought this printer a few weeks ago, and I have been delighted with the results thus far. I use the printer for some document printing, but primarily for photos. Some of the pros are: built-in image editing, support for most digital camera memory cards, USB 2.0, and individual ink cartridges.

I have to disagree with some of the issues presented by other reviewers. With regards to the "dpi issue", I too noticed the dots in some of the photos, but only when I held the photos extremely close (less than 6") to my eyes. No one looking at the photos would hold them that close, and I don't think the dots are noticeable under normal viewing conditions. Some of the other reviewers also spoke about inaccurate color rendering. I had some color issues as well when I first started using the printer, but after tweaking some of the settings, my printed colors are a dead-on match with my monitor colors. Proper color management is absolutely critical to getting accurate colors...Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for photos, so-so for documents, March 3, 2006
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: HP Photosmart 8250 Printer (Q3470A#ABA) (Office Product)
Pros:

Print speed is great (once it has performed it's maintenance cycle).
Dedicated tray for 4x6 photo paper.
Photo printing top notch, including great automatic refinishing options (red eye, smart focus, smart sharpness) - as good as any photo lab on the best HP paper.
Direct print from media cards, including still capture from some movie modes.
Hopeful ink cost should be better than combined cartridge models, has 6 individual carts that are ~ $10 a pop.

Cons:

Long and noisy "start up" maintenance cycle or as I call it the daily regiment. Once completed it's fairly quiet and FAST.
Slow transfer to PC from media card readers - will not replace your dedicated USB 2.0 card reader that's for sure.
HP's lovely virtual print driver...if you want to share the printer (or use it for home printing from office VPN/Remote Desktop connections) the driver needs to be manually installed on all PCs - don't bother calling...Read more
