What's great about it:?Nothing What's not so great:?Set-up, incompatible with Photoshop, terrible phone support "I have had Photosmart printers for years and have loved them. I bought the B8850 to make larger format photos on water color paper. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?The setup was really easy, the reputation that HP has and the price was good for a business just starting out. What's not so great:?That you can only use HP's paper for quality output. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?perfect colors, amazing quality What's not so great:?none "I have had this printer for a while and am continued to be amazed by it. I photograph at airshows and the pictures turn out absolutely amazing on this printer. from Bestbuy.com Colors printed match my display perfectly. What's not so great:?I've not had it long enough to find fault with it. "The HP B8850 is a wonderful printer. It's my first HP, and I've been extremely pleased with the quality of the color reproduction. from Bestbuy.com I'd have to say I'm really impressed by the quality of print from the HP Photosmart Pro. I've been a graphic designer for 15 years and have always struggled to match my print to what I see on my screen. from Amazon.com I haven't taken delivery yet but thought I would explain why I chose the B8850. I want to print my lifetime photo collection for my family members and their descendants. from Amazon.com Pros: Beautiful Photo Prints, decent speed. Love being able to print 13x19 size prints. from Newegg.com This printer does not work with Photshop CS3 despite HP's sales hype...in particular it does not work with a color managed workflow (where photoshop manages the color) and that is very important to anyone using icc profiles etc. HP tech support is totally aware of this and offer absolutely no fix or understanding of the problem (after numerous hours on the phone with them!)this problem is being reported across the internet forums of DPREVIEW and NIKONIANS etc...check for yourself. from Amazon.com I'm happy with this printer. I wanted a 13 x 19" printer and this one fit my budget. For me it's a long over do upgrade from my smaller HP 8250, which still prints beautiful prints. from Amazon.com I have had this printer for about a week. I have made some incredible prints on it that I could probably be able to matte and sell. Color accuracy is absolutely amazing. from Amazon.com
