Tom, After reading an article by Ctein on the 7960 (Photo Techniques vol 25, No.4), I decided to take the plunge for the newer 8450. I have been happy with it, with the exception that it does not handle large enough paper :). Printing in gray scale only makes a very neutral print to my eye. I am new to inkjet printing, so I don't have any other printer to compare it to. Price per print may be a bit high, and the gray cartidge is tiny for $25.00. I have been waiting to see about refilling cartridges, if there is a savings.

I am considering the purchase of the HP 8450 so I can do B&W prints without the expense of a third party ink setup on my Epson 1280. Any thoughts good, bad or indifferent on the HP8450?
