Very nice printer November 18, 2008

I read the reviews on different printers for quite a few months now and decided to break down and buy the HP Photosmart 4480. I was worried that the photo prints would not be good but I was wrong. The first picture I printed was like getting a professional print. I then found I could not get the same quality of prints there after. The pictures were "pixelly" and not good quality. I messed with the settings and came up with the perfect combination that I was getting professional quality prints again. I must have printed more than 20 photos and have not even used half the color ink and hardly any black ink. I bought extra ink in case the printer used a lot of ink during photo printing and it's still in the box and I am still a printing fool. I am totally happy with this printer and would say to anyone looking for a decent printer at a reasonable price, consider this one.

Yes, I would have loved to purchase a more advanced, particularly wireless, printer/scanner/copier, but pricewise this was not an option for me...maybe later. I am extremely pleased with the product output and speed, the quality of scans - images later produced from them were exceptional, and the ability to insert media cards into this HP PhotoSmart C4480 machine. PhotoSmart products are the way to go at the moment and based on numerous reviews in top PC magazines these often rank rather highly in comparison to other similar products. The little LCD preview/guide screen is...little, but satisfactory, particularly for the price. I definitely got a quality product for what I paid for and have not had the troubles of paper jams or negative issues mentioned in the other reviewers testimonials. As with all inkjets, the only negative is the cost of replacement cartridges. Based on personal experience with a previous, rather old HP inkjet printer (lasted 7 yrs!!! - impressive as it too was a cheaper model that performed extremely well for the first 6 yrs and when I had no choice to go with Windows Vista - ugh - due to an older computer literally dying on me - sad), I will NEVER use refilled or those cartridges from other vendors. HP inkjet cartridges are the best, but are way too expensive for what I am sure they really cost. Wish there was a way to encourage HP to decrease the cost of cartridges - if so, I am sure more people would purchase HP inkjet/laser jet products in abundance. Until then, we HP lovers have to suffer these costs...so buy the cartridges from Amazon and in the size with extra ink for savings. It is worth it.

Oh - I forgot to mention - this is an extremely lightweight multi-use printer, so even though I didn't go wireless, I am able to move it to wherever I am working in the house. And it was easy to set-up - directions were clear IMHO.

Easy set up with Windows Vista Premium, no issues whatsoever. Prints fine and is fast with text prints. I have not printed photos with this printer so have no review of this function. Scanner works like it should. Great all in one for the price.
