It handles a variety of paper types, but you’ll have to play musical media trays. Things that go bump in the night: ghosts, ghouls, and the new HP Photosmart Pro B8850. If this printer sits idle for more than a day, it powers on, wakes up, and check...
Excellent color and B&W output. Replaceable print heads. High capacity pigment ink cartridges. Solidly built.
Does not support media thicker than 0.7mm (heavy card stock). Multipleuser networking not supported. Awkward feed arrangement for large sheets of paper.
Despite some paper-handling inconveniences, the B8850’s high quality output, decent speed (2 minutes, 30 seconds to print a quality 8-by-10), and moderate ink costs (about $3 for a 13-by-19-inch print) make it a heavy hitter. It’s a 38-pound b...

Very good print quality, especially on matte and fine-art papers; produces neutral black-and-white prints; supports thick fine-art media; long-lasting prints on HP media; good software utilities.
Glossy prints show some bronzing; slower than comparable photo printers.
