This is quite a break from tradition for HP, at least for its home and SME printers, as the 8250 uses six separate ink cartridges, which aren’t built into a replaceable print head. HP has developed a single, massive (in printing terms) head, photolithographically etched from a silicon wafer and presenting no less than 3,900 ink nozzles. This means it can print very quickly, over a wide swathe of the paper."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/1954-lifestyle.jpg" /> <br /><br />Ink jet photo printers just keep getting better and better. This latest model from HP has some new technology behind it, but the leaps in quality keep getting smaller and smaller. Rather than significant improvements, it seems that the industry is producing more incremental changes. This printer handles plain paper documents and photos equally well. If you need a new printer, put this one toward the top of your list.
