Re: [Digital BW] Re: HP Photosmart Pro B9180 review at LL

2006-09-13 by Gary Udstrand

That is not true, it uses all three at the same time when printing on
fine art media.  I don't claim to know how it works and I am only
repeating what I have been told by Neil Snape (as close to an expert
on the 9180) as anyone.  I also included a link to his review that has
this information.   He, and me by proxy, may be incorrect but I am
basing my comments on what he has said in regards to his first hand
experience with this printer (He has had this printer for several
months).

My sources may be incorrect however, on what source do you base your statements?
