HP Photosmart C8180 All-in-One review: HP Photosmart C8180 All-in-One

 

HP Photosmart C8180 All-in-One

Pleasing color and text prints; dual paper feed trays; best in class Wi-Fi set up; Bluetooth connectivity; direct archiving with built-in LightScribe DVD drive.

Lacks auto-document feeder and fax machine; expensive; very slow prints; grayscale scans lack definition.

The C8180 multifunctional printer is an excellent choice for photo enthusiasts. It prints high-quality text and photos at a heavy price: the printer is s...l...o...w. If you always choose quality over speed, the c8180 will be a worthwhile addition to...

Photosmart C8180

 

The HP Photosmart C8180 All-in-One is a color inkjet multifunction printer that's designed to be a one-stop photo-processing shop rather than an office workhorse. Its wealth of features--most notably, a DVD-rewritable drive--comes at a significant...

LightScribe drive; touchscreen LCD Integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

Expensive; no ADF; no fax features Washed-out quality on plain paper

Ink costs are reasonable: 2.3 cents for a text page, and 9.3 cents for a page with small amounts of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. A full-color photo will use more ink

HP Photosmart C8180 All-In-One

 

The HP Photosmart C8180 All-In-One includes a built-in DVD+RW dual-layer LightScribe drive to archive files and label the discs.

High-quality photos. Scans slides. Built-in DVD drive with LightScribe for archiving and labeling discs. Touch screen.

Slow. Low paper capacity. No fax support. Does a relatively poor job of printing directly from slides.

HP Photosmart C8180

 

The HP Photosmart C8180 All-In-One (AIO) almost demands two ratings—one that considers price and one that doesn't. With its touch-screen menu controls, built-in DVD+RW dual-layer drive with LightScribe for archiving files and labeling discs, and—above...

High-quality photos. Scans slides. Built-in DVD drive with LightScribe for archiving and labeling discs. Touch screen

Slow. Low paper capacity. No fax support. Does a relatively poor job of printing directly from slides

The HP Photosmart C8180 All-In-One balances some highly attractive touches, like its built-in DVD drive and high-quality photos, with some unfortunate flaws, notably its slow speed.

HP Photosmart C8180 All-in-One Printer

 

Review Date: June 2008 The HP C8180 is the company's top of the line all-in-one device, mating a 9600-dpi scanner capable of both reflective and transparency scanning with a printer that also includes CD/DVD burning and label printing with LightScribe....

The HP Photosmart C8180 All-in-One printer is a complex device that is actually pretty simple to use. A lot of the credit for that goes to the wonderful touchscreen menu system HP has designed. You need no training to figure it out. And that's saying a...

Hewlett-Packard Photosmart C8180 All-In-One Printer

 

I've been a happy user of my HP 7280 all-in-one unit for a number of months. After I reluctantly returned the C7280 review unit, I put my money where my review mouth was, bought one, and have had no regrets.

Review: HP Photosmart C8180 All-in-One Printer

 

But then I had a paper jam.  It literally broke-a piece of plastic in the printer literally broke due to 4 sheets of paper that somehow managed to get crumpled, I was left without a printer

HP Photosmart C8180 All-in-One Printer

 

HP's new flagship printer is the HP Photosmart C8180 All-in-One printer, scanner and copier. But can it live up to its flagship status? We get printing to find out. The HP Photosmart C8180 is the flagship in a range that now sports six models and you...

Wi-Fi, touchscreen display, 35mm scanner, good quality prints

No Fax, no document feeder, inks aren't cheap

The HP Photosmart C8180 is the flagship in a range that now sports six models and you can see why. Impressive from the get go the only thing missing is no automatic document feeder, or the option of one, and no fax capabilities, but to be honest both...
