"OK for outdoor shots...indoor stink" on by jimboscomp_com
Pros: 5x7 prints capability, vibrant colors for bright outdoor shots and great portability
Cons: Indoor and low medium lighting shots come out foggy. eats up ink quickly.
Summary: I thought I was upgrading to the best thing with this. I had used a Photosmart 245 before and gave that a 10/10 grade. This one eats up ink VERY quickly, even for brighter shots that shouldn't require much ink, it uses up one ink cartridge for every 60 photos, and the cartridge is $38 with tax. It comes out a bit pricy after a while, might as well just buy from places photo labs in stores. I do a lot of photography and comparing this printer to my HP 5550, this one is terrible for indoor shooting, the pictures come out foggy, even when they aren't foggy on the computer when editting them. My advice if you're looking for a compact printer, buy a Photosmart 245 or another brand, if you're on a budget, definately don't buy this, becaus eof its maintenance costs.
