HP Photosmart C8180 All-in-One Color Inkjet MFP Review

by Melissa Riofrio

- The HP Photosmart C8180 All-in-One is a color inkjet multifunction printer that's designed to be a one-stop photo-processing shop rather than an office workhorse. Its wealth of features--most notably, a DVD-rewritable drive--comes at a significant cost, however.

Duration of ownership: 1 Month

Strengths: Easy set up. Card slots well marked.Software was an easy install. Bluetooth,USB, and ethernet connectivity a huge and might I add an easy plus!

Weaknesses: Instructions for Setting up for scanning slides and negatives a bit hard to understand.

Overall Evaluation: Check around! You can get awesome deals I got mine via eBay and so far have not found a better price!

Duration of ownership: 6 Days

Strengths: Software Installed easily on both USB and ethernet (on a second PC). So far, after only 6 days, it works well, and as I bought it for $199 in the boxing week sale at HP I am very pleased with it. I was very surprised to get free delivery at that price. Printing 4x6 colour prints is very fast and the prints are very scratch resistant and don't have that 3 dimensional look of prints from my old HP 1210 where the ink is very noticably on top of the paper - not in it.

Weaknesses: I bought this partly to scan slides, which it does 4 at a time; and negative film strips. Works well except it ignores dark colour slides. These are viewable slides, but it will not scan them. The photo correction tools are OK, but you can do a better job using Picasa - which is free!

Overall Evaluation: So far so good.
