Purchased an HP7960 thanksgiving weekend, 2003. I was excited about the new photo B&W cartridge. Print quality is great with one exception. There are what looks like little perforations in prints running lengthwise on the photo from the printer. ...

Pros: Best B&W printing to date, great color prints, direct printing from different digital sources.
Cons: Costly ink, limited selection in media size, connects only via USB.

I decided to go with this printer after much side by side comparison with the Canon I950. Both produced vivid color pictures. Both performed well with the HP having an edge in PPM both in color and b&w. But when it came to B&W picture printing, it was an unfair fight. The HP produced the best B&W pictures that I had ever seen from a printer at this level, and that made all the difference in my selection.

Pros: Outstanding quality on digital photos. Very crisp output on black & white documents.
Cons: Both printer cost and replacement ink cartridge cost are higher than others but worth it

This is my 2nd Hewlett Packard printer, and I have been so impressed with the quality of my digital photos.

Pros: Great prints, low cost, easy to use, cartridges last forever and are reasonably priced.
Cons: It was a little too long for the spot in my desk.
