I bought this printer about a month ago so I could print my own professional looking photos right at home. I did alot of research on photo printers and decided on the HP 8450 because of it had all of the features i needed at a reasonable price. I like the fact that you do not even need a computer to print your photos. This printer has slots for and reads all types of memory cards, and then displays your photos on a LCD screen right on the printer. You can also hook your camera directly to the printer using a usb cable to view and print your photos. One feature that I really like is the dedicated photo tray for your 4x6 photos. You can print photos on a wide variety of paper sizes, from 3x5 up to 8.5x14. Another nice feature the printer provides is a variety of enhancements that can improve the quality of your photos. It can remove red eye, adjust brightness, automatically focus a blurred photo, apply digital flash to a photo with poor lighting, crop, add decorative frames and color effects such as sepia and black and white. This printer is very easy to use, and the menu is easy to navigate. This is a very nice printer that prints professional looking photos. The only downside to this printer and any other printer for that matter is the cost of the ink cartridges. This pritner uses 3 cartridges, a photo cartridge, a gray cartridge and a black cartridge. You can also put in a regular tri-color if you are printing something other than photos. These cartridges range from $20.00 to $30.00 a piece. I use this printer for photos only and use my HP deskjet 3940 for my everday printing needs. I would highly recommend this printer to anyone thinking of buying a photo printer. This printer has exceded my expectations and added a valuable tool to my photograpy hobby.Read full review
I got this printer for about $70 on Ebay a while back which I have to admit was a steal. The quality this printer delivers is incredible. From my past experiences with printers (hp deskjet 3650 mostly) I just figured you could not print good photos at home. This printer is incredible. Digital photography has become a hobby of mine because of this printer. It will only print pictures as good as your camera though. Tuning your photos with 3rd party software (I use Google's picassa) also makes better prints, but again it depends on the camera. I never found a need to use the "maximum dpi" mode. "best" provided ample quality for my pictures. If you plan on printing many black and white documents, you should consider getting another printer because The 3-gray cartridge will not last long (I use my old hp 3650 for black and white). The LCD screen is a cool feature but I always print through my PC. The card reader and USB ports are also a nice features, but I seldom use them. The 8450 is an excellent all around printer for a great price.Read full review
I am very happy with this printer. It has a excellent picture quality, it does everything in one. You can see the preview before printing and you can also edit the picture. I was really happy with those few option. After a few month I bought a HP camera (real thin ones) and discovered that I can connect the camera to the pritner and print pictures. It's also easy to use. I would rate it 5/5 !!
This is the 3rd Hewlett Packard Photosmart 8450 InkJet Printer I have bought. I have not found a better inkjet printer yet. I like that it only takes 3 ink cartriges, not 6 or 8 like most newer models. I like the quality of the photographic images. I love that you can print directly from your camera memory card without a computer attached, but also how easy it is to import images from a card to the computer through the printer. I have not found a flaw with this printer that's why I use it at home and work and so do other family members.
I READ LOT OF REVIEWS ABOUT THIS PRINTER; EVERYONE MENTIONED HOW NICE IT IS TO PRINT AND THE QUALITY OF IT. I AM TOTALLY AGREED WITH ALL REVIEWERS, THIS PRINTER IS TRUELY ASTONISHING EQUIPMENT. ABSOLUTELY AWESOME PRINTER, YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG. IN ADDITION, THIS PRINTER IS CAPABLE OF NETWORKING THROUGH A ROUTER BY USING ETHERNET CABLE AND BYPASS USB CABLE. ONCE THIS PRINTER HOOKED UP TO A ROUTER, ANYONE WITHIN SUBNET CAN PRINT DIRECTLY THROUGH WIRE OR WIRELESS WITHOUT THE NEED TO SHARE FROM ONE PC TO ANOTHER PC. ALSO, THIS PRINTER BUILT WITH USB INTERFACE, FOR A DIGITAL CAMERA. I USED THIS USB PORT TO CONNECT MY BLUETOOTH ADAPTER SUCH AS MOTOROLA PC850, OR AIRNET ABT101. NOW, MY CELL PHONE NOKIA N90 CAN PRINT DIRECTLY VIA BLUETOOTH WITHOUT CONNECTING TO MY PC, IT IS FAST TOO. HOW COULD I NOT FALL IN LOVE WITH THIS MACHINE WITH ALL THESE FEATURES?Read full review
