  • HP cp1700 printer?

    [ I posted this as a reply, then realized it should have been a msg of its own if I wanted more answers ]

    We are researching a new large format printer for the wifes crafting (scrapbooking, cross stitch etc.).

    In the process we can across the HP cp1700, a 13"x19" unit that has a built in CPU and RAM, which means it can use one of those small printserver boxes like the SOHOware Plug-n-Print or the HP 170 box.

    It also has print heads with their own mini-tanks that reload from much larger main tanks. Each color has its own set. 2400x1200 resolution. 16 ppm in black and 14 ppm in color.

    $422 is the best online price we've seen. CompUSA is selling it at $499.

    For about $130 more you can add a "duplex" module that lets it print both sides automatically.

    BIG sonofabitch though.

    Anyone had any experience with this monster?
