CNET reviews the Samsung CLP-300 and writes, “The CLP-300’s print quality was a bit of a mixed bag. Black text showed a deep, solid black with clean edges, though the characters suffered from a slightly puffy, swollen look. Color text was nicely rendered, though some of the italicized and bolded text had a hazy look. […]
IT Reviews reviews the HP Photosmart Pro B9180 and writes, “What is going to blow the socks off the professional photographer is the quality of the results. The accuracy of the reproduction and the sharpness, vibrancy and quality of the colours is due to HP’s new “densitometric closed loop colour calibration system” which scans printer-generated […]
PhotographyPress reviews the Lexmark X5470 and writes, “Print speeds look impressive with up 25 pages per minute (ppm) in mono draft mode. As soon as you require better quality output, the speeds slump to a less impressive 15ppm mono. Colour print speeds are slower still, a claimed 18ppm (in draft) drops to around seven pager […]
IT Reviews reviews the Samsung CLP-300 and writes, “The CLP-300 hits four out of the five buttons you should want a colour laser to hit. It’s inexpensive to buy, reasonably cheap to run, easy to use and maintain and prints quickly for its class. The only problem is a slightly heavy-handed print, which may need […]
PCWorld reviews the Canon MP600 and writes, “The printer uses a dye-based ink on photo paper, but a pigment-based ink gives stronger and sharper darks on more-absorbent plain paper. In our print-quality tests, we saw very sharp and well-formed characters for an inkjet. Our line-art sample was also quite sharp, though we noticed some wide […]
ITReviews reviews the HP Photosmart C5180 and writes, “HP claims the C5180 has ‘the world’s fastest photo printing speeds’, with 15 x 10cm (6 x 4-inch) images at ‘best’ quality in 12 seconds, documents at 32ppm in mono and 31ppm in colour. In practice the 15 x 10cm photos averaged around 20 seconds and typical […]
ITReviews reviews the Canon PIXMA MP830 and writes, “Print quality is generally good, with sharp black text and smoothly coloured graphics. Photo prints come out well rendered, with natural blending from shade to shade, but again, duplex pages are not up to the standard of single-sided prints. The costs of the ink cartridges and Canon […]
Trusted Reviews reviews the HP Photosmart A618 and writes, “HP has followed the general move to selling consumables, in this case a single ink cartridge and paper, in one pack. The cheapest way of supplying your printer is to buying the Photo Value Pack, which gives you enough ink and 15 x 10cm photo blanks […]
CNET Asia previews the HP Photosmart D7360 and concludes, “Technical specifications look promising. While the speed can only be achieved with the use of original HP media, the lower costs and print quality of the photo paper are easily incorporated into any photo printing workflow. The larger LCD is also another big plus since any […]
IT Reviews reviews the HP Photosmart C4180 and writes, “Although the Photosmart C4180 is a smart and stylish printer with a decent list of features, we were unimpressed by the quality of its printed output. That criticism is a real surprise for an HP printer and it surpasses any considerations about the cost per page […]
