Matti:
You should be aware, that the HP 130 is a dye printer, and if you want to print on "art" 
type papers, your print life will be quite short. And if exposed to direct sunlight, (or bright 
fluorescents) without any UV protection, even shorter. 

This printer will give wonderful color results, and resulting prints on the special HP papers 
give Wilhelm life in the neighborhood of 70 years. 

Can't tell you how linear the printer is with the native profiles  for neutral B&W without 
cross-overs.
