Help with new printer

Do you prefer matte or glossy?

 

Here is a link I found at a forum discussing the two printers, maybe it will help.

I can't help you with the HP specific model, but as far as I'm concerned Epson has forgotten more about color printing than HP ever learned (ok, so I'm exagerating). I like HP for B/W laser printing only. The HP color printers we have at Customs are expensive, costly to maintain, costly for consumables and break down often.

I have the 1280 and 2200, and an HP 1100 (which, by the way had a major design defect and required a free part upgrade to make it work properly.) I'd say my experience is anecdotal, but I've used HP printers in government since 1984 and for color, they just don't make the grade and stay reliable.

The Epson does especially well with glossy and luster paper. I have both R800 and R1800. 1800 is much better with the canned profiles.

 

The R1800 is a phenomenal printer. I haven't done much matte yet, but the glossy output will blow you away :shock:
