HP Photosmart C3180 All-in-One

I've had my HP Photosmart C1380 All-in-one Printer for quite awhile now. It's proved to be a reliable work horse produces great text and photographs and for the price I believe represents a good buy. The first I heard about the HP printer was back in 2006 and at that time they were selling for around the £70 mark, at the time of writing you can buy them from Amazon for £49.00 including free delivery. My experience with the printer to date has been very positive although like many printers it's recommended to shop around for ink cartridges as these can be quite expensive to purchase. The Photosmart also operates as a stand alone unit meaning you can use the photocopier ...  Read the complete review

I have never had much luck with printers. Since I was 20, I have had 6 different ones, and I am 27 now! However with the C3180 I have learned my lesson, and I think the trick is, only to use HP cartidges - that's what has messed my printers up in the past. Scanner: - This works really well and is great for scanning old photos to put on facebook (this is all I use it for!) and also for photocopying. It's so handy to be able to copy a few sheets at home for whatever purpose. You just place the paper in the scanner, press 'copy' and it then prints out the page. Memory card reader: - This has three slots and takes all the big memory cards, its handy ...  Read the complete review

The HP Photosmart C3180 is a relatively cheap printer, but still gives a very good quality of print and comes with some nice features. The print quality itself is very high, images/photos and good quality and text is clear, crisp and readable. The scanner is also very good. You need to install the HP software, which is a pain because there are over 5 different applications and they are all confusing and some start autmatically when you turn on your computer which is annoying. But once you have the software installed, the printer/scanner is great. You can easily scan in text/images and rotate and crop things. Once you have scanned ...  Read the complete review

The HP Photosmart All-in-one, I think represents exceptional value for money. I got a free digital digital amera with mine which is excellent as well. It is very light in weight compared to other all in ones which is brilliant for me as I use it with my laptop and tend to move the printer around the house. The 3 functions are all very easy to use and the control panel on the top of the printer is very user friendly. I basically learnt how to use it without using the instruction booklet as it was that easy to pick up. The colour of the printer blends in well to the house as well as it is a light colour not dark that makes it stand out. The only bad thing I have found ...  Read the complete review

I have had my hp photo smart for about 3 years now and it has proved to be quite reliable, when i first got it, it came with ink and all the software and cables i needed. It was very easy to install and once you've got it up and running its great. It is pretty quiet when it is printing which is a good thing as some printers can be extremely noisy, if your not a heavy user your ink should last you quite a long time. This product is also great for the scanner as you never no when you might need to scan something, i have also printed a numerous amount of pictures using this printer and the quality is absolutely excellent, if your quite new to using computers or even if your ...  Read the complete review
