As good as my old Hewlett Packard...

Cons: The black ink is an economy cartridge, the double-sided printing module causes the printer to not flush against the wall and takes up more desk top space, the auto align isn't aligned and doing so manually is something I haven't figured yet

Pros: Great photo prints, easy to use

I researched all the new printers and...

Pros: Great features for the price.
Cons: HP needs to go to separate color ink wells.

Pros: Picture Quality,Easy to Setup,Versatility
Cons: uses ink quick,kind of expensive

Cons: nearly self-destructs when trying to print Avery videotape labels & t-shirt transfers
