Digital Home Thoughts: photo-i Reviews the HP Photosmart 7960 Printer

"For those of you who can't make up their minds whether to buy a Epson or Canon photo printer, life is about to get more complicated. HP has just launched a new line of photo printers and at the top of the range is the new HP Photosmart 7960 eight ink printer. It's a long time since I have reviewed a printer from HP, but when I saw this printer in action at HP labs, instinct told me that this printer is about to become a major contender in the photo printer market. Over the next seven days I am going to be putting the printer through some exhaustive tests. If you want me to test any particular feature then drop me a line at photo-i. Please be patient through the test as I will be trying out many permutations, I will be looking for the good and not so good points."

This article is, I believe, a few months old (very curious they don't date their articles), but I Lee Yuan Sheng was talking about HP Photosmart 7960 in our forums and I wanted to learn more about it. Boy, did I ever! This is one of the most insanely detailed reviews on a printer that I've ever read. I found the pages about B&W printing to be quite interesting - this looks line an amazing printer! I also was shocked at the difference between a six-colour print and an eight-colour print. Great review, worth reading!
