Good strong business cards.
Can't fault them and they are great value. We buy them all the time.

Cheap printer but will cost you to run.
First impression was, it's very slow especially on photos. Second impression was poor print quality on non HP photo glossy paper. We all know that HP has been updating software on their printers to stop the use of generic print cartridges and then ramping up the cost of their own cartridges because you are forced to buy them, but now, they have designed a system to force the user to buy HP branded photo paper. Even using genuine HP cartridges, the black ink does not dry on generic papers that I use with my old HP C5280 without problems. It is not my machine, I have tried 3 new HP printers. The first I sent back thinking it was a fault with the printer. No, it is the same on this and the HP Envy 4520. Will not be buying HP again.

Cheap printer, but high running costs.
1 of 1 found this helpful I had been aware of the inability to use non genuine (3rd party) cartridges on HP printers for a long while now, but what I was not aware of was the change to the printing setup which makes it almost impossible to use 3rd party glossy photo paper on these new machines without the black ink rubbing off. I've tried 2 HP Envy 4250's and 1 HP Office jet 4650 all using genuine HP, in date, cartridges. All are the same, but everything is OK when I use the same paper on my old HP Photosmart C5280 with CISS. When contacting HP support they wanted to know the serial number of the HP glossy paper I was using. When I said it was not HP paper they referred me to the paper recommendation in the printer manual. So if you are looking to do photo printing on these machines, be prepared to pay the Earth to do it.
