    Strengths: The HP deskjet 6980 prints documents and photos quickly. The printer rectangular style and deep blue color is attractive.

    Weaknesses: HP has chosen to use HP PhotoSmart software to operate the 6980 Deskjet which has created problems in printing documents. The print, even after utilizing several printing options, is over saturated and the print is not crisp and clear. My older HP Deskjet 5550 performed much better in printing documents. I've printed a few photos with the 6980 and find the clarity is crisp and clear, however skin color comes out too light... without the warmth one would normally see in a photo.

    Overall Evaluation: HP has made a mistake to use PhotoSmart as the deskjet operation software. HP needs to review the attributes of the software used in the HP deskjet 5550 and its subsequent models that were superb in printing documents and photos. The printing technology of the 6980 has improved overall but the software lacks the attributes of its older deskjet models.
