HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-One

Recently I had need of a printer so, my wife having won the previous one in a bitter courtroom drama, went out and attempted to prise open my rusty wallet before I changed my mind. Whilst I was browing for one I made up my mind that, not having a clue what any of them performed like, I would just go for the best deal I could find and hope for the best. In the end I went for an all-in-one jobbie (printer/copier/scanner combined), as the scanner went the same way as the printer, and travelled home a happy, if slightly poorer, man. The device in question was a Hewlett-Packard Photosmart C5280 and came in a brightly decorated box the size of a small car. As I ...  Read the complete review

The colors are sharpest and the most highlighting point is that the photo prints have amazing clarity and quality.

We needed a new printer when the old one broke down under the weight of our son's science project. Not being a techie, I looked for one which had reviews of being easy to use and easy to install. This fit the bill and I was able to find it at a reasonable price. Easy to install? Very - took minutes using the easy to follow instructions, before it was upp and running. I liked the photo slots so that you don't need to go through a computer to view and rpint your photos. My so, wants to create his own compilation CDs, so the CD printer is useful, though it took us while to get the hang of it (At age 11, he is probably more knowledgeable about computers than I am ...  Read the complete review
