What You Should Know about the Photosmart D7160 Inkjet Printer (32 PPM, 4800x1200 DPI, Color, 64MB, PC/Mac)

Installed Memory is Ideal for Five or Fewer Users

This printer's installed memory is sufficient for small offices or workgroups that print typical business documents, such as memos, spreadsheets, or simple Web pages. If you have more than six people using the printer or the printer handles heavy traffic, you will want more memory than this printer provides.

Duration of ownership: 5 Days

Strengths: Fast, economical

Weaknesses: Photo prints

Overall Evaluation: I've been mesmerized by the number of HP printers - so much that I didn't even want to consider them. Finally, because I saw decent inital reviews of the D7160 (some reviews of which are confused in this review section with another printer), I got it. I however read some other reviews besides the vague one here at PC World which went into more depth. One lengthy review mentioned at the very end that the photo quality was disappointing and oversaturated. This is a major point to bring out in a *photo* printer; the writer treated it like a minor detail.
