Buy this printer !!!

by Fire_Boy07 , Mar 02 '01
Pros: Ease of use, mac-compatible, attractive, affordable, value for money
Cons: I don't see any cons about this printer.
I was absolutely delighted after a few hours of using this printer. This is one of the best if not the best printers I have ever used. I found it quite annoying that Mac users like myself are always left out in terms of hardware compatibility. From the...

by alphaproject , Sep 06 '01
Pros: Fast, Great Printing, Good looking printer, USB port
Cons: Takes its good old time to start up
I ordered the 990 from a company and for some odd reason this printer arrived instead. However, I highly doubt the $70 difference they took off was worth the upgrade and extra hassle to send this back. I decided to keep it and so far so good. It prints...

A great printer at the new price point.

by donsk , Apr 20 '01
Pros: VERY nice color and image quality.
Cons: slow
We have only had this printer for a couple of weeks, but so far everyone in the office is very happy with it. With some effort you should be able to find this printer delivered for under $300. At that price it is a great printer. We use it in the office...

Great for muli-purpose use

by libera , Mar 26 '01
Pros: Very fast for high quality output. Very quiet
Cons: Photo quality is still not quite up to Epson standards
The HP 970cxi is an excellent all around inkjet printer. The quality seems to be about 95% of the 990 for about half the cost (though the 990 is much faster). Even with HP's PhotoRET technology the photo-realistic output is not quite up to that of the...

Hp DeskJet 970 Thoughts

by mikejmason , Feb 28 '01
Pros: Words printed are easy to read. Prints at high speed
Cons: Ink needs to be changed earlier than most other printers.
This is a quality printer. I recommend it to everyone. The ink may run up the price but its a good deal. I suggest it over other Hewlett Packard printers. I never had a problem hooking it up and using it. I never had paper jam in it ever since I had it....

Great Printer

by kene , Dec 14 '99
Pros: Duplex printing, dual connecting capability
Cons: none
This printer is a powerhouse! The duplex printing feature in itself makes the printer worth the money. Print quality is unbeleivable! Whether you are an average user or an everyday user, I believe this printer will be the one. Fast, quality, accurate...

Can't Believe it

by BBBills , Dec 14 '99
Pros: Don't Hesitate
Cons: None
The HP 970 is an unbelievable value for the money. You get that HP coloring that comes only from them. IT has unequalled speed for the class it is in. The ability to do both sides of the page is not only a time saver but also a frustration remover as...

The best printer I've seen

by donnaherbert , Jan 11 '00
Pros: auto duplexing, quiet, fast & professional quality
Cons: a little more expensive than some others
The first printer I purchased for personal use was an HP660cse. That printer lasted through 4 years of heavy use. So, naturally, I am loyal to HP products. When it became time for a new printer I chose the HP970cxi. I was not disappointed. The...

Warning - Do not Refill Cartridge

by jannade , May 13 '01
Pros: Everything, excellent photo quality
Cons: High ink consumption - cost of it
I wanted to save a few (actually a lot) of bucks, so I bought Ink-Jet Refill Kit and I regret that. I almost ruined the printer.
It printed very well right after the refill. I did not notice any difference between the original ink and the refill....

HP 970 good printer for home office, not necessarily photos

by joleenca , Mar 04 '01
Pros: duplex printing, sharp text, good graphics
Cons: photo printing has detectable dots, extra software doesn't work on Macintosh
I needed to purchase a new printer when I upgraded my Macintosh and could no longer use my ADB Epson. I chose to go with a HP model rather than another Epson because the ratings I had seen consistently favored the text of HP printing, stated that HP...
