Two really nice features are the 75XL extra large tri-color and 74XL black cartridges. They are about double the cost with about 3 times the ink. I have not bought the XL cartridges so have not tried the printer with them yet.
There are no 99XL or XL cartridges to my knowledge. A "had to have" feature is that the printheads are built into the ink cartridges. This is the reason I swiitched to HP inkjet after losing Epson and Cannon inkjets to clogged printheads, and I lost those printers after paying the high prices for OEM ink cartridges, not 3rd party cartridges!
Side Note: The - line of HP printers use 6 indivdual HP02 type ink cartridges which do NOT have the printheads built into them, so those printers were eliminated from my list. I followed the directions to the letter, not connecting the USB cable to the computer until the driver install on my PC asked for that. The driver then asked whether to update itself via the internet and I said yes. Three updates appeared and I said yes to all three. The first two updates installed without a hitch but the third one for "Connect to the HP store" or something like that failed.
I finished the installation and then clicked on the icon on the desktop for the HP Solutions. It still showed the HP Store update as not being installed. I don't care if that update ever installs or not.
I only found one professional review for the D printer before I bought it. This review criticized the text printouts as being fuzzy and not acceptable. Personally I haven't seen that at all. Black text on plain paper not inkjet paper comes out as crisp as any inkjet printer I've owned. Not laser quality but what inkjet printer can do that? The print quality on either looks the same to me except that the Premium paper has a tad more color saturation than the Premium Plus, using the exact same settings except the paper type selection.
I used the premium multipurpose paper, 20 lb, from Office Depot for all text printing tests. I installed the 75 tri-color and the 99 photo ink cartridges. The first color photo gave me an "OH NO! There was noticeable banding to the naked eye in the direction of printhead travel. IOW band after band after band, not just a few bands. They were noticeable in the shaded parts of skin tones, and in some brownish hollow tiles in the background. The good thing was this banding problem gradually went away while testing and by the 6th photo was not visible even when using a magnifying glass.
I attribute the banding to a marginally clogged printhead due to the ink cartridges sitting in the printer box for a long time. After printing, the nozzles slowly freed up and printing was normal after that. After the banding problem was resolved, the photos looked very good.
Then I examined the photos using a magnifying glass and saw the grain in the shadows of the face and a leg calf. I would not keep this printer with that amount of grain. A search on this forum for "HP grain" turned up a recommendation to use the "maximum dpi" setting instead of the "best" setting to reduce grain. Yes, using the "maximum dpi" setting just about got rid of the grain problem.
The only reason I can even see any grain now is because I had the original grain problem and I know what to look for. Otherwise, I probably would never have seen any grain using the magnifying glass.
I set the "Print Space profile" to "Same as source". The photos printed using these settings look identical to my monitor as far as I can see using my most critial eye.
This is the best color match to my monitor that I've ever had with any previous inkjet printer. The 1 page per sheet works like you would expect it to. Page-1 on the front, page-2 on the back, etc. The 2 pages per sheet reduces the 8. It never jammed or gave me any trouble in the 6 sheets of text that I printed.
The small text for the 2 pages per sheet is perfectly readable. Like I said earlier, I don't know why the professional reviewer said that this printer prints fuzzy text. He must have been using the cheapest paper around or had a defective printer. I'm using the premium multipurpose paper, 20 lb, from Office Depot. The driver for the HP D has a really nice feature.
When viewing a web page, just left click and drag the mouse to highlight whatever one wants to print. Release the left button and a submenu pops up asking whether to save the highlighted area to disk or print it. I clicked print it and only that portion of the web page printed out. This will save so much ink for those pages that have a lot of colored advertisements, colored borders, etc.
I love this feature. Do all modern printers come with this feature now? This printer makes a lot of noise when handling the paper. Actual printing is fairly quiet but the paper handling noise is pretty loud. I would say it's loud enough that it would definitely wake someone sleeping in the same room and maybe loud enough to wake them in an adjacent room if the walls transmit sound or the door is open. Probably not a good idea to print at night when everyone is sleeping if they are within ear shot.
I have not tried this feature yet and won't have time until I finish my taxes and some "Honey Do's". Mainly because it also involves buying the proper printable discs although one sample in included in the box and burning the CDs or DVDs.
But everything else seems to work fine so I have no reason to think that this function won't work fine as well. So far it shows the status of the printer and tells you what to do like "Press the OK button after paper is loaded" when you run out of paper. I guess it will display a thumbnail version of photos from memory cards when the printer is used to print directly from the cards.
But I expect to only print from the PC so that feature is not important to me. Except for the noisy paper handling, I'm liking this printer a lot. The slightest hint of grain in certain shadows of color photos can only be seen using a magnifying glass. There is no way to see the grain using the naked eye no matter how I angle the photos in sunlight.
The colors are an exact match to my monitor without any fiddling. My monitor is calibrated using the TV color bar pattern with pluge. Black text printing is crisp on plain paper and perfectly readable even when pages are reduced to half size for double-sided booklet printing. The extra large tri-color and black ink cartridges give about 3 times the ink for twice the cost. Double sided printing works perfectly. I just hope that I don't have paper jamming problems down the road.
Especially when printing labels. HP printers are front loading and wrap the paper degrees when printing as opposed the the Epson and Canon printers that feed from an upward angle at the back with less curvature of the paper. Have you long time HP inkjet printer users had a lot of paper jamming problems? If so, any preventative measures to take now?
Thanks for the review. I was just thinking about getting this printer. I actually recently picked up a HP Photosmart C all in one which uses the 6-ink 02 cartridge system. So far I've been disappointed with it. I haven't even tried any photo printing yet so I can't comment on the photo quality. In some documents text and black lines look adequately sharp though somewhat more grey than black but on other documents the edges are noticeably rough and there's lots of visible wicking if you look relatively close.
This is replacing an older Photosmart printer for which there aren't adequate Vista drivers. The uses an older non-Vivera pigment ink for black and does look laser sharp at least on the Bright White paper unless you look with a magnifying glass. So on the D, if you print something like an Excel table with gridlines and 12pt text, are the lines perfectly straight and sharp or can you see some roughness and wicking? I'm thinking the D may do a better job since it uses pigment black versus dye black on the C The other issue I have with the C is the autoduplexer.
If I use it, the non-printable margin at the bottom of the page seem to get larger. But this is particularly bad because the size of the non-printable margin seems to vary from document to document and is not reported by the driver.
This latter point is a serious issue because if you tell a program like Acrobat to fit an oversized document to the printable area of the printer, and the printer driver doesn't accurately report its printable area, you'll get stuff being cut off at the bottom. Ask any questions and I'll try to get answers.
The lines are straight with no wicking to me anyway using Everyday printing, plain paper, BEST setting. Using the best setting slows down the printer considerably compared to the normal setting though.
I also printed on HP bright white paper and could not see a difference in print quality compared to the plain paper I was using. Looked better due to being whiter but the actual print quality looked the same to me. The other thing I found is that using the arial 12 point font and Everyday printing, normal mode, just the plain arial that comes with WinXP , the text is too black and thick as if too much ink is being laid down.
Using Times New Roman instead, the identical text looks much better with thinner print than the arial font. I had been using the Times New Roman font for all of my initial text tests in my review above. Just a lucky choice, not intentionally. I tried lowering the "ink volume" to minimum but it didn't make any visible difference in making the arial print lighter.
I think font selection is very important using this printer. I printed the same Excel page with the arial font on my HP laser printer. The difference is substantial. The laser version is night and day better than the D The arial font on the laser version is much thinner than on the D version.
I wonder why this is? Is the D using it's own version of the arial font? I'm beginning to think so. I tried printing the Excel sheet with arial font using the D's "Presentation" mode and "Other transparency films" even though I was using plain paper in an effort to use the minimum amount of ink possible.
This seemed to give a slightly better quality than the Everyday printing with best setting. But the presentation modes are slow as molassas and the difference in print quality was so close that it hardly seems worth the slow printing. Can you post a link to a web page or document that I can use to test with? Otherwise, I'm not sure how to test for your question. I made a CorelDraw file for testing the printable margins of my printer and the effect of duplexing, as well as text and line quality.
I modified it so that the outside frame should print to the edge of the D's printable area as reported to CorelDraw by the printer driver I downloaded for it. The printable area doesn't appear to change when you switch from single page to auto-duplex so either the driver at least the Vista version is failing to correctly report the printable area or the printer should actually be able to use the same printable area regardless of the duplexing usage.
Anyway, here's what that files looks like printed on my C using the autoduplexer: front side of page:. Now if the printer just needs a larger margin but the driver reports this correctly, then telling Acrobat reader to fit the page to the printable area should allow the complete page to print, albeit a little smaller. If it's behaving like my C, this won't make a difference and it will still be cut off. In terms of text, your description makes me wonder how much better it is than mine. I've scanned some samples at dpi and downsampled to and dpi.
The latter should appear on screen just a bit bigger than the print size. Error: Javascript is disabled in this browser. This page requires Javascript.
