“Congrats to HP for delivering the best value in the large format photo inkjet printer segment. Picked up one of these on sale and am AMAZED with the outstanding photo quality for the price I paid. My large prints off this printer compete with several of my friends that have other well known brands of wide carrage printers costing many hundreds more. One of these friends just paid over a thousand dollars for a similar model from a competitor and this HP model prints just as nicely when you hold the output side-by-side. And this takes ink cartridges that I can find locally. My friends model takes twice as many cartridges and to add insult to injury he has to order them online (nobody locally stocks them). Couldn’t be happier.”

HP Officejet 7000 Wide Format Printer NEW

“I needed a 13×19 large format printer that could produce excellent quality, speed and have the option to print many types of paper for my art festival prints. Thanks to the wonderful HP sales rep I was convinced the HP 7000 was the printer for me. The HP 7000 is the easiest printer I have ever installed on my Mac. The print quality is outstanding, great speed, even on best quality, very smooth operation with low noise.
Printer was shipped to me very fast.
I learned to purchase HP printers several years ago, because the print heads are either in every new ink cartridge or you can simply buy another printhead to easily install, like in this HP 7000. I can not believe the low price of this printer, it is well worth the money. My profit margin just went up some more.”

When my first art print came out, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. The quality is jaw-dropping. Flat, dull black is NOT a problem with this printer thanks to the Photo Black ink cartridge. Skin tones came out great. Subtle highlights and shadows, perfect. It literally looked like the picture on my monitor in this respect. The color isn’t perfect; purples tend to be a little redder in print than they appear onscreen, but this is the only thing that I have noticed. The overall quality is better than anything I’ve gotten from a commercial printing outfit; all of those came out way too dark and way too yellow.

I didn’t notice that the printing seemed especially fast for a 13×19 paper, but for smaller sizes it does seem to run fast. Speed was much less of an issue for me than quality, though.

I got this printer heavily on sale, but even the standard retail price would have been worth it. It’s THAT good.”

Its a 11×17 printer thats is very suitable for people what want to prine lagre size drawing.It is a multifunction model that comes with 11×17 scanner. Adding that its not pricey at all and have so many good reviews by customers.

The only shortcoming is photo printing  quality may not satisfy you  due to the color is not so vibrant,  but for ordinary document printing  it is good enough to handle.

Reviews:

I’ve always bought HP printers in the past but was disenchanted with the ink waste & having to buy cartiages about once monthly. This is the best printer I’ve ever had! It has 2 paper trays & will copy up to 11X17 paper. It uses high yield print cartiages. It is a workhorse! I am sold on Brother printers from now on!

This is a great all in one! It has a feeder for multi-page scanning and copying! No need to lift the cover and slap each page in individually.

I was a die-hard HP fan, but this Brother printer is great!

It is big and heavy, so you need some space for it, but it really replaces the scanner and printer. I bought a stand and have this unit, my older printer, and room for paper storage all on one cart.

The ability to print on paper and scan documents up to 11″x17″ was the selling factor for me – no other printer exists on the market that can do both of these (for under $300!).

We have used this printer heavily since purchasing it and have not had any problems at all. The high-yield print cartridges last incredibly long and make the cost per page very competitive!

It does require a large surface area, but I guess that is a reasonable trade-off for being able to scan 11″x17″ maps/ documents.

I have owned many printers over the past 20 years, and this would be one of the top. A great buy!

Have had no problems. Super photo quality on various paper types. No software issues. Worked from the start. I know exactly which ink cartridge is dry and it is easy to replace.

Mainly I use it for 11 x 17 prints of photos for clients. It’s wonderfully quiet, always runs smoothly, and gives beautiful results on all the Epson papers I’ve used on it so far (Premium Photo Paper Glossy, Presentation Paper Matte, and Ultra Premium Presentation Paper Matte.) I’ve had no problems with the utility software, I think you just can’t find out the ink levels when it is busy printing. For years I had an Epson C80, which I wore out. I replaced it with a CX5800F, which also gave beautiful results when it worked right (I loved Dura-brite inks), but it was no end of trouble, with frequently clogged nozzles and weird random image-placement errors. After the temperamental CX5800F, The 1400 is a great relief… no built-in scanner or Fax, but it’s given me everything I asked of it. The inks are expensive, but since they haven’t clogged once, and and I haven’t had to reprint anything, there’s been no waste. The outflow tray is the only part that seems fragile. I have cats who walk on everything, so I close it whenever it’s not in use, but besides that it seems well designed. Can’t wait to print at 13″ x 19″!

I’m a professional artist as well as an amature photographer. I have to have quality prints. This printer fulfills all of my needs and then some. The best part for me was being able to print right out of the box without any color adjustments!

Is this a printer for someone who just wants to print 4×6 family photos? No. But if you’re looking for a printer that does excellent enlargements, look no further.

Simple printer to use.

“I have had this printer since 2004 and love everything about it. I use it with the HP Rip, HP Inks and HP media and have had such good experience with it’s versatility, its print-out quality, it’s hard work, (and no repair problem!) It’s footprint is just right for my small studio. It’s function is precise and smart enough to correct me if I try something incorrectly. I get so excited with anticipation when a print comes out and see the perfect results, especially when its on canvas! I have had experiences where I had to call Support, either in the set-up in the beginning or recently due to a computer glitch—no fault of the printer—and the HP support is OUTSTANDING! I have recommended this printer to many colleagues as a best buy and smart choice if their work takes on the variety as I do, from commercial graphics to fine art. I look forward to the next generation to be as equal as this.”

Consumer Reports recommends that you match the features on a model to the needs you have. Here’s our take on some of the specifications and features that are commonly available on regular printer models like the Officejet Pro K8600dn.

Individual color tanks:

Some inkjet printers use a separate tank for each color. Others have tri-color cartridges with three colors in one. Individual tanks let you replace only the color that runs out rather than tossing a tri-color cartridge that may have some ink left.

Networking:

The ability to connect to a home network for printing from a computer either via an Ethernet or a WiFi connection. Ethernet is the common wired network and WiFi is the wireless format commonly found in laptop computers.

“I purchased between 8 and 12 of these printers. I liked them so much that I bought some and put them in storage. I have not had any problems at all. No paper jams, long life on print heads and ink. I personally think that a better printer can not be found for the money. I have not had to do anything to these printers but plug them in. I have recommended them to all of my family that use computers and printers whether for business applications or just personal use.”

Now printer is becoming cheaper to be purchased, some model even is sold at less than 200 USD, thanks to advancement of technology, the cheap one still have good quality.

But you should concern about the ink cartridges ink consumption of the cheap photo printers, because usually the cheap printer will run out of ink cartridges very soon, because the manufacturer will try to make a profit from selling them other than directly from selling the printer which make it expensive in term of ink consumption.

Many users will use third-party ink to replace the original ink as long as the one you buy is of a quality product, however most good replacement inks are the same price as the original one.

If you have more budget, you should consider buying more expensive photo printers which rated between 400 and 1000 USD that have much better printing quality, longer life and will greatly save your ink cost.

Ink spillage is another issue you should take into account, you have to the clean the print heads of inkjet photo printer especially the cheap one from time to time. The cleaning of print heads is to use a little of ink to flush the head, but a few printers would need huge amounts of ink for cleaning.

The printing quality of a photo printer relies on many factors, but the capacity to uniformly fill a patch with color and color accuracy will be the most determining factor. A good printer should print color accurately. Most cheap photo printers are able to print your photos directly from the digital camera, but if the photo quality is not so good, you may need to edit it on your pc.

In summary, if you have high demand on photo printing quality, and budget is enough, don’t choose the cheapest printer, you will have more cost on ink consumption, just choose the high-end photo printer. Canon and HP are reliable choice, Epson is also good in term of large format photo printer.
