Re: HP 8750 PhotoSmart with 9-color inks

2005-02-22 by bghess_sp

I used an HP 7600 series printer before I got a 2200.  The black and
white output was excellent as far as nuetrality goes. I still think I
get better results though from using a quadtone inkset on the 2200.
Also, I printed a number of postcard sized photos using the HP as
christmas gifts about a year or so ago. Recently, I saw one of these
gifts and noticed that it had faded and had begun to turn purplish.
The print had been in a normally lit living room and had not been
under glass. That was using the HP premium plus paper too, which is
said to be their most archival. Hopefully they made some improvements
with the new series - already I can see one - using two shades of grey
in addition to the the black ink. If I remember correctly, they only
used one shade of grey in the 7600 series.
