CNET Editors' Take

For those who like their prints large, the HP Deskjet 9800 makes medium-format, color inkjet prints up to 13 by 19 inches in size.

Review: This personal printer costs $299 and prints up to 13-by-19-inch documents. Pay $100 more to get the 9800d unit with built-in double-sided printing skills. The HP Deskjet 9800 ships with one black ink cartridge and a second cartridge with three colors; you'll have to buy a photo cartridge separately. HP estimates that this machine will print 30 pages per minute (ppm) with black ink and 20ppm using color, and it can produce borderless photos.

"Not bad overall but nothing to get excited about" By idno0000-review

Pros Price. Machine Quality.

Cons Slow. Medium print quality.

Summary If you're looking for an all around office printer that prints large format this HP is a bargin. I'd recomend it. I need better quality in my business so I returned it.

I purchased it at OfficeMax when I walked in and saw it for $250. If you

Which printer is right for me?

Laptop Finder

Choosing the right printer can be a daunting task. There are several different types of printing technology to choose from, each suited for different needs. Printers come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny travel companions to workgroup workhorses; some are geared toward photographers, others are for multitaskers. And the many specifications for resolution and speed can be misleading. As a rule of thumb, inkjet printers are a must for long-lasting photos, while laser printers are best to produce speedy text documents.

We've compiled a handful of typical user experiences that should help outline what type of printer is right for you. Chances are, you'll fall somewhere in between two or more of these archetypes, so carefully consider what you'll be using your new printer for.
