HP 7960? (wRe: [Digital BW] looking for suggestions...)

2004-05-06 by mike_nunan

Hi Peter,

I don't have direct experience to share re the 7960, but one thing I 
noticed when I investigated it briefly was that the cost of the 
consumables is horrendous. The ink cost alone works out at around 
GBP1.40 per A4 page of B&W (although it may not be as bad in USD). 
Also, while the inkset is dye based, they claim 75year print life but 
only if you use the HP gloss or pearl papers -- no matte option.

HTH
