HP Officejet Pro K850

Pros: Rugged, commercial-grade construction. Individual ink tanks.

Cons: $399 MSRP. 24"x16" footprint. Not a photo printer.

The Bottom Line: An excellent choice for color printing up to 13x19 sheets with low ink cost. Can also serve as a business color printer. Not optimized for photos.

Review: We needed a tabloid size printer to replace our old HP 1120C and 1220C. This printer seemed to be the obvious choice. We received this about 3 weeks ago and have been fighting with it ever since. While it works great on white paper, we could not get it ...

Pros: Looks good & prints good when it eventually print

Cons: extremely slow spooling & don't expect any help from HP

Review: Totally unsatisfied & extremely slow spooling for some documents i.e pdf. Now apparently faulty printhead after only 7 months. On checking the internet, I've found others having the same problems unresolved. Unhelpful HP service with standard HP ...
