HP DesignJet 130 Printer

 

Good machine, for a home system. I have a feeling that these should be able to last awhile without any hardware problems.

That woudl actually be a four core processor. i7 doesn't even come in oct. Good machine, but for home users. More of an awesome media and gaming rig than for business use.

This computer is a beast. 8 core processor, 16GB RAM, 2TB hard drive. Excellent graphics card. My only issue that I have with this computer, is that the fan kicks on a lot and is very noisy. Going to look at the BIOS and see if I can turn it down.

Core i7-2600 3.4 GHz, 16GB RAM, 160GB SSD, Win7 64 bit. Paid about $1,800. Loads every program in about 1 second. Outlook maybe 5 seconds. Running multiple VMs for website development no sweat. I love it.

My company has had this plotter for over a year. It replaced a very old HP Designjet 1050C. This plotter has superior print quality and speed. The only drawbacks to this model is that paper is loaded from the top and prints drop into a cloth "catch"...

HP 85 69-ml Yellow Ink Cartridge

 

I use lots of HP 84 & 85 ink on my DJ130 printer. It works fine. However I am very unhappy that Staples, Office Depot and other outlets do not stock it in stores. I am forced to order in bulk to get free shipping instead of just being able to run to a...
