HP Deskjet 9800d

 

This affordable wide-format inkjet can print photos, spreadsheets, brochures, and more at up to 13-by-19-inch size, but expect to wait as it plods through its tasks.

Inexpensive for a medium-format printer; supports color-photo and grayscale-photo inks.

Prints text very slowly; photo inks cost extra; printing photos requires swapping cartridges.

A moderate price and run-of-the-mill performance make the Deskjet 9800d a utilitarian workhorse.

HP Deskjet 9800d

 

Relatively few printers can handle both tabloid (11 by 17 inches) and supertabloid (slightly larger) sizes, and those that do tend to be expensive. Enter the HP Deskjet 9800 series, which handles these large paper sizes and starts at $299 (direct)—a...

Duplexer. Tabloid- and supertabloid-size printing, with trays for up to 13- by 19-inch paper size. Monthly duty cycle is 5,000 pages

Graphics show moderate banding in default mode. Performance is on the slow side of acceptable. Output quality is midrange for an ink jet

The HP Deskjet 9800d is a business printer at heart, with a duplexer, paper trays for up to 13- by 19-inch paper, and a 5,000-pages-per-month duty cycle.

NVIDIA 9800 GTX+ The plus means better! - Bjorn3D.com

 

Keyboards of the past were designed for the same thing typewriter keyboards were, typing. Today's computers, being more powerful and diversified, encompass entertainment and gaming and the need for good gaming and multimedia keyboards has grown with...

As of today the 9800 GTX+ is not available for purchase so this was just a not-so-brief preview of its performance. The G92 core continues to live a healthy life long after most other cores would have been retired. It seems NVIDIA keeps finding new...

HP Deskjet 5940

 

The HP Deskjet 6540 made waves in our colour inkjets chart for over a year. Those still lamenting its demise will be glad to see that the firm's 5940 model offers a lot of the same, at an even juicier price.

HP Deskjet 9800 review

 

HP Deskjet 9800d Until now, you've had to pay a premium for inkjet printers that handle large media sizes, such as tabloid or 13-by-19-inch paper. The $399 HP Deskjet 9800d brings large-format printing to small-size wallets. If you're frustrated by...

Inexpensive for a medium-format printer; supports color-photo and grayscale-photo inks.

Prints text very slowly; photo inks cost extra; printing photos requires swapping cartridges.

HP Deskjet 9800

 

This is a serious workhorse printer for office environments. It prints up to A3+, and is designed for speed. It also includes a duplex unit for double-sided printing.

Ink Hog - Won't Recognize Cartridges

 

If I had it to do over, I would probably look at purchasing another brand.

Large print size, printing with 6 colors via 2 color cartridges is nice. Price was excellent. Color printing with the HP Viviera inks is sharp and the colors are great

Printed about 20 pages successfully, then the printer would not recognize the print cartridges. Was able to get it exchanged since I was still in the 30 day exchange period. If you buy this, print like crazy (make sure to try different ink cartridges...

HP Deskjet 9800 C8165A Up to 30 ppm Up to 4800-optimized dpi color and 1200-input dpi InkJet Personal Color Printer

 

Good quality printing while for the first round of ink cartidges

It refuses to recognize new ink cartidges, and HP refuses to accept responsibility and fix the problem
