HP Photosmart C5180: Quality photos but you pay for convenience

Service is great, but the product is very restrictive

I had a Hewlett Packard Photosmart 7550 that I really liked and when something went wrong with it, HP told me there was no longer support for it because it was too old. No tech support and no parts (if needed). That is why I now own the C5180. I printed about 3 sheets from the main tray and maybe... read full review »

Awesome all in one machine-easy, fast, quality.

This machine is wonderful for an everyday computer user and a person who wants good quality prints from a reasonably priced all-in-one machine. It prints fast in just black, pictures are a bit slower, but really great quality if you use the special photo ink. Photo ink is a must if you want your treasured photos to last without fading or discoloring over time. It prints in black and color, copies, scans, and prints photos. It has features I haven't even used yet and discover wonderful things about this unit every time I use it. You can choose the paper you use to optimize print quality, choose... read full review »

The previous printer I had seemed to drink ink. This one is all right on ink consumption. With the 6 tanks of ink all ink gets used without waste. Black, dark magenta, dark cyan and yellow are changed the most. Printing is clear, pictures turn out well, crisp and clear.

The only complaints I have is that even though I shut it down properly sometimes when I turn it on again it will say that it wasn't shut down properly in the LCD window. Also I have had it tell me to clear a paper jam when there wasn't one and sometimes it has to "think" for a while before printing. If your in a hurry...

The HP Photosmart C5180 is a good all-in-one printer.

The HP Photosmart C5180 all-in-one printer, scanner, and copier works incredibly fast and prints, scans and copies with true-to-life color that is hard to beat. The HP Photosmart C5180 allows users to print laser-quality documents and lab-quality photos without a computer using memory cards, USB flash memory drive and the large 2.4-inch color image display.

A major drawback is the option to print in grayscale using only the black cartridge. The option is offered, but does not work as advertised. If your color cartridges are low, when you start to print the printer will require you to OK a warning...

This printer is the best printer I have ever used!!!!!

a fan of HP Printers, basic printer user, Home office user, like to keep it simple, like to print pictures

This printer is very easy to set up and use. It makes awesome copies of photos and I have some pictures that I had developed some place else and when I made a copy of the picture. It came out better than the other place. The ink for this printer is in individual containers, so you get more out of your colors than you would with the ones with all in one. They are not expensive to purchase. I buy the combo pack it is more economical for me. There is a small combo pack with all the colors including black and then the other one is all the colors and then you also get photo paper with it.... read full review »

Salesperson at Office Max recommended this printer. I'm a fan of HP and have another photosmart printer. While this one is quick it cycles after printing and when it comes on and is very noisy. I've already went through a yellow cartridge???? Black is about half-way..Not sure how the ink is going to go but cartridges are cheap.

This printer has been trouble free, and surprising easy on the budget. It has given some of my old photos taken with a 3.2 MP camera new life as they are much improved printing them here at home with HP's premium photo paper.

The LCD screen makes printing pictures directly from the camera card a snap!
