- The versatile HP Vivera ink system, equipped with HP black, color, color photo, and gray photo ink cartridges, utilizes HP Smart Printing technology to communicate with your printer, monitoring system performance and optimizing print quality.
- Specially formulated, patented inks in the HP ink system work together with sophisticated coating technology (on HP Premium Photo Papers) to produce bright, colorful photos that resist fading longer than traditionally processed photos. (Based on HP light fade testing under glass using the included HP 97 tri-color and optional HP 99 Photo Inkjet Print Cartridges on HP Premium Plus Photo Papers.)
Actual speeds will vary.) Save time and money with fewer replacements with high-volume HP Vivera black and tricolor ink cartridges. HP’s convenient, time-saving automatic ink-backup printing mode ensures that even if one print cartridge runs out of ink, your print job will be completed with the remaining color or black ink cartridge.
Reviews
By: Amanda Richards “Modest to the extreme”
It works great for the ordinary stuff - printing letter sized documents from e-mail, Word, Excel etc. with all the settings on “normal”, and even does pretty well printing high resolution pictures on photographic paper, but when it has to get down to anything more complicated, it shivers, balks and then goes into a blind panic, creating havoc and paper destruction with wild abandon.
Secondly, my previous HP Color Deskjet Printer allowed me to create a letter-sized document and then enlarge it to 11″ x 17″ with a couple of clicks. If you only need a poster, make sure you set the size first. Even if you fan the paper until your co-workers complain about the chill, the printer will work itself up into a frenzy, and begin printing your document in random pieces on multiple sheets of paper, and spitting the results at you with almost religious fervor.
The “Cancel Print” button still doesn’t work properly, and you’ll have a lot of wasted paper if you need to stop a print job. On the good side, it prints regular documents quickly and with good quality, and once you have your paper sizes set up correctly, it prints 11 x 17 and 13 x 19 posters. I’m beginning to think that the printer’s devil has split its soul into multiple parts, and is using HP Color Deskjet Printer as horcruxes. Can anyone spare a trustworthy Defense against the Dark Arts printer designer?
