Roller marks on paper?

[Tjalfe]

I have not used any of the above models.. last ones from the HP series I have used were teh 940C and 990CXI ( got the 990CXI for $149.99CDN after they were discontinued )
I will take a quick look at the specs and see if there is anyones to recommend

They will do an exchange today for one for the printers listed above.

Perhaps i should start a new thread so spark more interest?

• DJ1220C @199
• DJ450 @205
• PHOTOSMART 7550 @229
• DJ5552 @99.99
• PHOTOSMART 230 @£149.99
• PHOTOSMART 7150 @£114.99
• DJ5550 @£109.99
• 7350 @£99.99

[/list]

I'll update the list as I find out more info etc...

Anyone know any of these models?

1220C can handle 11" x 17".. takes the 42/38ml cartridges. based on the 1200C which came out several years ago.

DJ450 - mobile printer.. should only be concidered if you need the portability. small cartridges ( 19 / 10ml black, 17,8ml colour)

5550 - maye a year old, only takes the small cartridges

7150, 7350,7550 - looks nice, but only takes the small cartridges(19ml black, 17ml colour) - high res printing though

photosmart 230 - tiny printer, can not print full size sheets, only good if you plan to print out photos, and not much else

As for an overall recommendation.. well I still like my 990CXI better than these ones, it cannot print as high a resolution, but it still looks great on photo paper, and the ink is much more reasonably priced, being the bigger cartridges.

I got a PS 7350 for £99.99 (straight swap)

Advertised as £179.99 in store!!

[Tjalfe]

nice trade..I just hope you can get the ink for cheap

[Paddy]

indeed - it didn't come with a black only cart...

[Tjalfe]

usually they just come with smaller capacity "trial" cartriges.. this is the first time I have heard of HP not even shipping with a cartridge for black
maybe if you bitch enough to the store, you can get one for free ..

[Paddy]

It came with a photo cart (number 58), and a colour cart (57). The colour cart contains black, but it obviously wastes the other colours. The black one (56) is only ~£16 so i am not complaining too much.. I just wish the printer could store all three inside and not just the two... Well i guess they have to encourage the top of the range model somehow.....
