HP Photosmart Pro B8850 Photo Printer

The HP Photosmart Pro B8850 Photo Printer makes it easy to print high-quality photos for less.

Superb photo output at sizes up to 13 by 19 inches. Fine art papers available.

Photos and graphics on plain paper are disappointing.

HP Photosmart Pro B8850

It does exactly what the advertising says it will, and does so very, very well. Large capacity ink cartridges mean less time spent changing them, and, no need to mess about swapping between photo & matt black inks.

It's LARGE. A substantial desk or table will be needed for it to stand on.
