It clearly says "Professional Series" on the front of the printer, which I took to mean it was a relatively heavy duty printer, but I found that to be not true. I wanted a good solid printer that would do lots of printing, using both sides of the paper. This unit came with a duplex unit to automatically accomplish the task. Sounded great, but the first thing I noticed that when using this feature, it inserts a 15 second delay between the first side of the page, and the second, which makes it useless for my purposes, as I need it to print faster. Also, the duplex unit didn't last long before it broke, so I had to put the single page unit back on. The printer works fine, and does a very good job of printing text fast in draft mode, which I use most of the time, except for pictures. The printer finally ejected some plastic parts from the output tray mechanism, so that it no longer holds one side of the paper up as the page is printing, and will no longer do the cartridge alignment when a new cartridge is inserted. Also, the black ink leaks out of the printer on the end where the cartridges rest, leaving a black mess on the table. I purchased another used one through eBay, and noticed that it had also leaked black ink in the same area. It did print a few pages though before the output tray mechanism broke, so that printer is useless. I cannot recommend this printer for serious printing.Read full review
This was a used printer. On receipt it did not print. I installed a new black ink cartridge and the printer worked OK. It did not come with any software so I was unable to check other features of the printer.

The printer is just what I am looking for in a daily use printer. It prints color and black & white almost endlessly. The cartridges are large and can be refilled or replaced for little cost. Their is no ink level indicator which tells you that you are out of ink when their is plenty in the cartridge. You can refill the cartridges and don't have to worry about a computer chip that doesn't let you do so. The printer also prints both sides of a sheet of paper saving you money. I will only buy a new printer if I feel I have money to waste on ink cartridges.
I have found all the products that I've owned in the HP 900 series to be excelelnt.The 970cxi is another example of a printer that prints all things at least adequately, text in an excellent manner for ordinary use, even in draft form, and "behaves" - it doesn't jam, ink cartridges last for a very reasonable amount of time, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to use it. It's built sturdily, still having a great deal of metal in it! I've used the 900 series for years and count on their consistency. I have the 970cxi with the duplexer unit, and I just love the "magic" of how that printer does so well with two-sided printing.
This is a overall good color inkjet printer for the money. The Printer allow your to print on various types of formats. From regular printer paper to transparencies, photo paper, envelopes, banner and even Iron on transfers. The paper tray will hold up to 150 sheets of paper and has a monthly print cycle of up to 5000 pages. Now this is not a laserjet printer but a inkjet printer which can cost a little more per page for black and color prints, unless you try to refill the cartridges yourself. The good thing about connectivity of this printer; it does allow you to interface will various devices, through either a UBS or Parallel ports. The HP 970cxi is a Good overall printer that can print on various types of platforms. With a black and white print speed of 10 pages per minute and a color resolution of 2400 dpi x 1200 dpi your print quality will be excellent. This printer would be a great buy for if you or your small business needs to print on various types of platforms.Read full review
I have owned several Epson and HP ink jet printers. Most if not all of these printers have been very inexpensive or have been "freebies" when purchased with a new laptop. All of the Epson "C" Photo series have performed well but suffer from "built in" obsolescence. The heads wear out quickly and once the print count is up, you cannot easily reset the count. Epson quickly manufactures the next series. e.g., C82. C84, C86, C88 etc. Old ink cartridges and not backwards compatible so it doesn't pay to stock up on ink. I own three HP Photosmart C printers at this time and they are a bit loud. One of the HP's squeals as it scans and prints.Both HP and Epson offer plastic printers although the 970c seems to be constructed with a hard, thick shell. The printer is much heavier then any printer I have had. I am very impressed with the low noise level of the 970c. It is also one of the very few printers that will work with Apple/Mac OS9.Read full review
Haven't used it as yet since purchasing it. But based upon the past performance of my past 2 HP 970Cse products my expectation for this one is at a high rating.

I was so blessed to find a printer in very good condition just like the one I have owned for almost twenty years. They were made so much better back then so I really appreciate it. It runs just like a new one. Thanks, Pat

This is the second 970cxi I have owned and both of them have served me very well. I do bird photography and this printer produces professional quality prints with the eyes black, sharp and clear, a requirement for the demanding field of bird photography. The colors are vivid and the print time quick. The cxi has the two sided module that works perfectly and saves paper and storage space. I recommend this machine to anyone.
The only thing I did not like, it does not tell you the ink levels that other Photosmart Printers show you the ink level and you do not run out of ink through a printing project. But I personally love HP Printers, have used them since I have had a computer.. I started with HP, went to Photosmart, and have tried to have one ever since I learned what they will do, and I have a page turner I purchased, and I try to buy printers that the page turner fits into...
