| CONCLUSION
HP
has succeeded in producing a line of archival inkjet printers
that can easily compete with anything currently in the market
place. This is an impressive accomplishment considering the
fact that this is their very first entry into professional
level archival photographic printing. Not only does this printer
produce high quality output it does so with a simplified and
easy to follow color managed workflow via the print plug-in.
The HP provided paper profiles are accurate and the papers
to compliment this printer are of excellent quality.

Again,
the bottom line: I would not hesitate using this printer to
make prints of even the most problematic images. This printer
does an excellent job with anything you throw at it. If you
follow the simplified color managed workflow provided by the
HP Photosmart software you will have no difficulty producing
beautiful gallery quality prints. Thanks to the closed loop
calibration feature and the very accurate ICC paper profiles
provided by HP it is a snap.
Over
a month spent testing this printer I have not had a single
performance issue. No clogging, no paper feeding problems,
and no mismatch of colors. If you are in the market for a
high quality professional level consumer desktop printer you
cannot
go wrong with the HP B9180. |
