Hewlett Packard Photosmart P1100 InkJet Printer

Pros: Prints photos as if they were taken to a photo developer...
Cons: The large capacity color ink cartridge is $60+...

Last year, while shopping for computer equipment with my husband I fell in love. Granted it was an inanimate object, but I was in love just the same. I fell in love with the PhotoSmart P1000 Printer by Hewlett Packard. Not only was this...

Pros: Great speed in draft. Duplexer. Good image quality. Revolutionary unit in it's day.
Cons: Ink usage is a high. Rear paper jams.

At one time, this was the mother of all Text/Photo Quality Printers. Rated at 2400x1200 dpi and 12 pages per minute in black and 10 pages per minute in color, this unit gave us what we wanted from all angles. It also has a compact flash card slot and a...

Pros: Good photo quality
Cons: occasionally jams, cartridges expensive

For many years, I’ve only used a black and white laser jet printer. The yield is high, the cost per page is inexpensive. Although the initial cost of the printer is high (although some of them are now less than $100), they are cost effective if you ...

Pros: Wonderful image quality, duplexer eliminates handling of paper to print two-sided documents.
Cons: Discontinued by HP, even though its technology is the same as the currently available P1000.

With recent cost reductions and bargains on Ebay, the HP PhotoSmart P1100 is a terrific deal. If you can't find it, you can realize the same features by combining a P1000 with HP's optional duplexer.

Great Image Quality
The P1100...

Pros: Good Text, Excellent Color & Builtin Card readers.
Cons: Poor high gloss photo support, poor borderless prints support & no smoothing mechanism for photos.

HP has long been known for their high speed and high quality Laser Printers; it is literally to the point, when HP is mentioned you think printers. Well, for quite a few years now they’ve also been making personal inkjet printer of varying quality....

Pros: Fast, good quality full page photo printing, reads memory cards.
Cons: Jams once in a while ripping the paper, lines when printing color from PC.

Before anything else, I have to say that I got a REFURBISHED model from eBay.

Some stats:
Speed: black & white - 11 ppm (worst), 4.4 ppm (best); color 4x6 - 0.6 ppm (best)
Max Resolution: 2400 x 1200 dpi
Paper: 4x6 up to...

Pros: Great speed, quality, PRICE, and durability. HP has thought of every aspect of photo printing and put it into this printer that can even stand alone w/o a PC attachment!
Cons: The price of cartridges and paper, however, it is still cheaper than having photos developed.

I remember the day I first saw and tested the P1100 like it was yesterday. My coworkers at Staples and I were setting a new store display
for this new HP photo printer that was supposedly amazing. Being the computer experts we were we did expect...

Pros: Accepts Memory Cards. Quiet, Fast, Two Sided Printing
Cons: Doesn't come with needed Cables. Photo Quality is bland. Single Color Cartridge.

I am a former owner of a Lexmark 3200 that I had bought before my Photosmart. The Lexmark was a great bargain, but print quality and cartridge pricing lead me to look elsewhere. My wife and I decided to purchase an HP Printer. I was easily ...

Pros: True photo quality, quiet operation
Cons: Expensive, needs a fast PC

As a long time user of color inkjet printers, I've watched quality and speed improve dramatically over the years. My first printer (a Canon) produced fair results, but was far from photo quality. The second (an Epson) was a workhorse that delivered...

Pros: Amazing quality, CompactFlash and SmartMedia slots, self-alignment periodically, double-sided printer add-on included, IR port, computer not required, 8 Mb, huge resolution, parallel port/USB, 4.7 PPM Black at best quality, 3.1 PPM color at Best quality, t
Cons: Paper bin only holds 150 sheets, slow printing at best quality, HEAVY (13 lbs., 15 with the 2-sided printer add-on), shakes my stand, no method of preview for the CompactFlash or SmartMedia cards, Windows required to use many of the special features (two-s

(Sorry if the title translated to a swear word...accidental...)

Ah, let's take a trip down memory lane. A few months ago, I had only two printers. A Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 6L, and a DeskJet 890C. Whenever I get a printer, I make sure it...

Pros: Great print quality, nice overall look to the printer itself - it's awesome!
Cons: Expensive, I hope the costs of ink cartridges comes down soon.

Why I Purchased a Color Printer... Back in the fall of 1996 when I replaced my Panasonic dot matrix with an HP LaserJet 6P, I wondered how I ever did without it. The LaserJet gave me the speed and power to print quality black & white ...

Pros: Best Photo Printing yet. Very quiet. Duplex printing
Cons: Still a bit pricy, but well worth it.

I am a computer technician, and have worked on and tested many different styles and brands of ink jet and laser printers. Until the HP P1100 series printer, and now the P1224, photo printing on inkjet printers just didn't quite fit the bill.

...

Pros: 1200X2400 dpi, 10ppm color, dual side printing
Cons: ??????????????????

If you own a digital camera that uses either Compact Flash, or Smart Media memory cards, you'll find this to be a most useful printer.

Hewlett-Packard has been the standard in printing technology for a very long time, and now with the 1100,...

Pros: Everything!
Cons: When printing photos uses a lot of ink - but they are great pictures!

I recently was a rep for Hewlett Packard. We were flown out for training in Utah and introduced to the new P series Photosmart Printers. I fell in love and came home crying to my husband, " I NEED THAT PRINTER!!!"
Well, it wasn't on the...

Pros: Great print quality. Can handle memory cards and varied papers.
Cons: Slipping H.P. support. Poor envelope handling.

This printer was sent to me by H.P. due to a series of problems I had with a purchased 970 Cse/Cxi printer (see my review on that in that area). I bought a defect, was sent a defect as a replacement, and after MANY toll calls and complaints, was sent...
