  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.

  Duration of ownership: 1

  Strengths: It doesn't work unless you first save the pix on either a memory card or on a computer.

  Weaknesses:Doesn't have any that any other printer doesn't have

  Overall Evaluation: The design of this thing is atrocious! Why would you want to buy a scanner/copier/printer with a built in Cd/DVD drive if you can't save pictures to it directly from the scanner? In order to save scanned pictures on to the built in CD/DVD on this thing you must first save the scanned image on either one of the memory cards or on your laptop/desktop. Then you can copy the scanned image to the CD/DVD on the C8180. If I have already saved the image on my laptop why would I want to reship it back to the c8180 in order to burn it to the CD/DVD. It seems to me that it is alot quicker and much more convenient to burn it to the CD/DVD burner on my laptop diectly.This thing may be a decent scanner/printer but it is awfully cumbersome for someone that wants to scan multiple pictures/slides and save them on CD/DVD. Although I will say that the picture print quality is very good.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: smooth and nice printer with full features andtouch screen. very quick to print

  Weaknesses:inks are individual and run out sooner thanlarger ones . have to go to pick up new onestoo often.

  Overall Evaluation: very nice features with wireless network veryeasy to set up. very easy to use with one of the fastest printing speeds available. priceis more than expected but quality of printsis one of the best for ink jets. inks are individualfor each color and black and are of too small a size to be on such a heavily used printer.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: USB, ethernet and bluetooth connectively, touchscreen preview screen, bulid-in flat scanner, six seperate ink carts

  Weaknesses:Pricey

  Overall Evaluation: If you can find a great on deal on this printer, jump on it. That is exactly how exactly how I ended up with this printer. For the money, it very feature packed and photos that come out are of excellent quality. The software that comes with it is easy to use and easy to make corrections on photos and to organize them. The multiple ways to connect the printer via USB, ethernet or bluetooth makes it very flexible. I'm currently using the ethernet port and it works very fast as it should. Anyone on my network can use it. I like how it uses six inks so I can replace the color that it out instead of having to replace three colors at once. Overall, it you are looking for a all-in-one with lot of features and great quality, take a look at this printer. You will not be disappointed.
