To start, this printer eats ink like a fat kid at the buffet. I saw a cheap HP Photosmart D5160, and considering that my previous Photosmart 7660 lasted me three years, I jumped on it. It was a false economy in terms of both the massive ink consumption and subpar quality. The blacks simply don't look right out of the standard cartridge- kind of a blueish middle gray, even when excluding the color cartridge. This isn't something you'll only see when printing B&W; photos- text looks kind of nasty too. Of course, HP would prefer that I purchase the Photo Black cartridge, which I'm sure would help. However, it's ridiculous that I have to buy the Photo Black cartridge to get decent-looking text and graphics.I'm about ready to punt this printer off the nearest bridge.
