 HP Photosmart Pro B9180 review at PhotographyBLOG : DIWA member Mark Goldstein from PhotographyBLOG has reviewed the HP Photosmart Pro B9180 printer review. The HP Photosmart B9180 uses HP Vivera pigment ink technology. Combined with the printer’s professional colors this enables accurate and consistent color reproduction. Eight individual high-capacity ink cartridges enable high-volume printing with efficient printing speeds, producing 4 x 6- inch photos in as fast as 10 seconds and 13 x 19-inch photos as fast as 1.5 minutes. Furthermore, users can print exceptional photos on digital fine art media including canvas, photo rag, watercolor, stiff pre-matte and film up to 1.5-mm thick, as well as improved HP Advanced Photo Paper.

 HP Photosmart Pro B9180 - Print speed
According to Mark Goldstein: "Print speed is on par with other photo printers from HP, a bit faster than Epson, a bit slower than Canon. Where the B9180 excels is paper handling. With two separate paths, there is no need to unload from the tray to use the specialty media feed. Just open the cover and the printer automatically switches paths for you. Loading media in the specialty feed is very simple and nearly foolproof. HP is rating all their papers at 200+ years, based on testing from Wilhelm Research."
HP Pro B9180 - Color and Detail
Mark continues: "Color prints had a vibrancy that exceeded the Epson prints and were near the equivalent dye prints from the HP DesignJet 130, with rich blues and reds that I haven't seen in a pigment printer prior to now. Black and white prints were very neutral with no bronzing to be seen. There is a bit of gloss differential in pure white areas, this is one area that Epson has improved with the gloss optimizer in the R1800." You want to learn more about the HP Photosmart Pro printer?
