| tampamikey's Full Review: Hewlett Packard Photosmart 7350 InkJet Printer |
After reading all of the reviews (here and elsewhere) on the HP 7350, I decided it was worth a try knowing full well it could be returned if I was unsatisfied.
The printer set up in minutes without a single hitch and has worked flawlessly since. The photo quality is beyond belief and I couldn't imagine any ink jet printer outputting better quality at pretty much any price.
Speed of both photo and text printing was well within my limit of tolerance and I'm puzzled by the reviewers who have stated that the print speed is this items major flaw.
I'm equally puzzled that I haven't read anything concerning the pathetically slow flash card reader. Prior to hooking up the HP 7350 I used a dedicated flash card reader that reacted nearly as fast as any hard drive would. The flash card reader on this printer is SO slow it has me pulling my hair out. After speaking with HP tech support concerning this drawback, I was informed that they are well aware that the reader's speed is substandard and that they are working on a driver fix for the problem. I have my fingers crossed for that.
I agree with previous reviewers who have stated that the paper tray is a bit flimsy, but I feel it's a worthwhile tradeoff for the unbelievably good print quality.
