  Strengths: Great print quality, good display on printer, seem to get good use of print cartridges

  Weaknesses: Envelope feeder always jams and is worthless, most recently, all pages do not eject properly and jams the next page if not manually pulled our to the feeder.

  Overall: I am disappointed that the printer does not eject paper properly and essentially needs someone sitting in front of the machines pulling each page out after it is printed. This was a $400 printer 18 months ago and I expected a more durable printer for this money. I used it at home and my usage has been very light. Print quality is great, but what good is it if the pages do not eject properly.

  Strengths: I have been a 35mm buff for 30+ years and the print quality from this printer is amazing. And that from a digital camera, my Canon G2. Beautiful pictures and text. Makes my Canon BJC 6000 look bad.

  Weaknesses: None that I can see. My kids use it everyday and in 4 months I have only had to change the cartridge once. Very Good!!

  Overall: I bought this one due to a review in PC World. It came out the best but they did not like the price. I bought it and AM I GLAD! Thanks, PC World! Pictures, Texts, everything is beautiful. Buy this one, you won't be sorry.

  Strengths: Quiet, quick, excellent quality on text and graphics

  Weaknesses: Plastic doors and paper handler feel flimsy when being opened, but don't need to be opened very often.

  Overall: Some clarification on past reviews. The printer has separate print heads for each color, but a single cartridge for all three colors. Haven't used it enough to determine if the ink is used up quickly. In 45 days I still have 3/4 of the cartridge left.

  Strengths: See below

  Weaknesses: See below

  Overall: The previous reader robbiex must have made a mistake. This printer HAS separate cartridges for all colors. Are you referring another printer? I own another HP inkjet printer, just very amazed that the moderator allowed robbiex's post to get through. I rate the above to 'neutralise' his/her post. Please, moderator, until his/her post is removed or clarified, it should not be left there to mislead others.

  Strengths: Excellent print quality

  Weaknesses: Devours ink cartridges at an incredible rate. Printheads a separate and potentially costly item. Flimsy construction with awkward covers. Very poorly designed LCD display. Loves to eat envelopes.

  Overall: Excellent print quality, but devours ink cartridges at an impossible rate. Higher capacity and more economical cartridges are a must for this printer to have any practical use. There should be a separate ink cartridges for each color. Separate printheads is a potential source of both trouble and on-going expense. Flimsy mechanical design with awkward, hard to use covers. Poorly design mecahnical paper pathway. Envelopes jam easily - a problem that is common to most HP printers.
