![]() ![]() With the added feature of built-in print heads (so our technician tells me) I felt sure an HP multi-function would be a great choice. We have a suite of HP printers at work and I've always been amazed at their speed and quality. My Epson CX5400 finally gave up the ghost after 3 years of exemplary service and after extensive research I settled on the HP C5180 to fill the void. In summary this is a very neat, quite running machine that I would recommend. Scanning is much faster then my previous cannon standalone scanner. my advice to anyone is to follow the advice given to close all other programs and to disable your virus software, I use Kaspersky and this caused no end of problems and meant I had to backout the set up (thankfully done automatically by the HP software) and re install again I was very pleased overall with the printer, although setting it up was slightly problematical. Using 5 separate colour cartridges seems to give much better results as the output looks just as good as normal photos. when printing you can specify this tray and the printer rather neatly draws this tray into the machine and prints your photos in accordance with your preferences. On the C5180 you stack upto 20 or so photo cards. I plumped for an HP printer as these seemed to be the only ones with a separate tray for photo papers, I purchased this printer to replace a previous model that although still works well is getting a bit dated, printing on photo on the previous model was very hit and miss, as the paper had to be fed into a special slot which did not always work. But the thing that shows attention to detail for me is that the cartridges can only go in one way round and each has a shape symbol so even the most colour-confused of us can tell whether the light cyan or cyan cartridge needs replacing.Įven if that were not enough, the real deal-maker for me is that it works perfectly out of the box with Linux (install HPLIP). Scanning from the web interface, printing from media cards, dedicated photo paper tray, simple one press copy buttons and an easy photo review and print system without even turning your computer on all make this a dream to use. HP have clearly put a lot of thought into user experience here. It has interfaces galore and has taken pretty much any card I have - also has a network interface (at this price?) which supports printing and scanning. The 6 cartridge system produces great photo quality and having a larger black reservoir means day-to-day stuff doesn't suffer either. ![]() To be fair though that's because its an inkjet and not because of machine. The other thing that makes it more suitable for the SoHo market is the speed which is fast but not up to scratch for the big offices.
