"Great photo printer"
Pros: 13x19 printing, archival inks, Ethernet connectivity, print heads built in to ink cartrige
Cons: Gigantic, slow, small, expensive ink cartriges
Summary: I replaced my HP 1220c with the 8750 because the 1220c failed after 3 years of great prints. Although I really liked the 1220c, I decided to spend money on newer technology instead of getting it fixed. Like the 1220c, the print heads are built right in to the cartridge. The result is virtual trouble-free print head errors over the life of the printer. Unfortunately, the ink tanks are only a fraction of the size of those on the 1220c and cost about the same. I?ve docked the overall score 2 points for that characteristic alone. The tiny tanks are neither suitable in a professional setting or for a home user who likes to print a lot. The redeeming factor is that the ink is archival quality.
Prints made from photos taken by my Minolta Dimage 8 mega pixel camera turned out beautifully on the 13x19 satin paper. In my opinion it is indiscernible from film processed in a quality lab. Although I was happy with the 1220c, the 8750 is a remarkable improvement in terms of print quality (especially subtle shades of gray and in B&W) and has a much more robust print driver. The Photoshop settings I previously set for the 1220c worked perfectly with the driver and required no adjustments. I highly recommend this printer for the avid amateur who wants bigger prints.
