The editors didn't like

  • Black and white photos that are printed on this device may have a little bronzing on them.
  • Prints on glossy paper types exhibit more gloss differential than we’d like (not as much an issue with HP’s Professional Satin paper). Best HP paper options are limited to 13" by 19" sizes. Some third-party fiber papers can buck...
  • Does not support media thicker than 0.7mm (heavy card stock). Multipleuser networking not supported. Awkward feed arrangement for large sheets of paper.
  • Photos and graphics on plain paper are disappointing.
  • Glossy prints show some bronzing
  • Slower than comparable photo printers.

  • The Photosmart Pro B8850 isnt a radical shift from HPs initial entry into the pigment ink printer market. HP wisely chose to whittle the right features from the B9180 to create an affordable, entry-level printer for photographers looking for archiva...

  • Abstract:  HPs Photosmart Pro B8850 is a professional-quality A3 photo and fine art printer, and is priced accordingly. It takes a while to set up. After loading eight ink cartridges and four print heads, you must wait 40 minutes as the printer fills its ink...

  • Print life 200 years, Eight inks and replaceable printheads
  • The B8850 follows the same high standards set by the B9180, which I have been using for nearly two years and have not had any problems with it. From my short time with the B8850 I can see that it will fit the bill for many photographers, although the...

  • Abstract:  Die beiden Drucker HP Photosmart B8850 und B9180 gehen mit praktisch identischer Technik an den Start und liefern dementsprechend auch die gleichen Druckergebnisse, wenn man von der etwas höheren Geschwindigkeit des neueren B8850 absieht, der auch noc...

  • Abstract:  När A4 inte är tillräckligt och storformat är för dyrt, är A3-skrivarna en gyllene medelväg som passar många fotografer. Skrivaren liknar nästan HP:s B9180 på pricken. Det beror på att B8850 bygger på denna, och de delar samma teknik och chassi. ...
