Subject: Re: HP7960/7660 Printers for B/W ?

2004-01-17 by Howard

I am interested in dedicating a printer to BW. I like the review I 
read (referred to on this site) about the HP7960. When checking 
prices, it seemed the HP7660 is half the price of the HP7960, plus 
there are three cartridges in the HP7960 and only two in the HP7660, 
but both offer the exchange with the additional black for BW prints. 
Make sense? I forget the numbers.
Anyway, my question is that since several here have talked about 
using the HP7660 for BW, I wonder if, with the fewer cartridges, does 
the HP7660 really do as good a job with BW as the HP7960, or should I 
spring for the added cost. I already have a color printer I like, so 
I'm only talking about BW.
Thanks for any help.

could just bring in a CD of images I have worked over in PS, and he 
said no problem.  I asked about format, and he said a JPG and no 
limit on file size.  I am going to put together a set of color and 
B/W images and run them through the system and see what comes out.  
We shall see.....  They also developed a roll of Kodak B&W+ C41 
chromogenic BW for me and at my request delived negatives only at 
half of their usual 1 hour price... about $2.60.  Now i can scan them 
on the 2450.
