Is this Price 4 Real? Amazing!,
July 11, 2006 Liljill (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: HP Photosmart C3180 All-in-One Printer, Scanner, and Copier (Office Product)
After extensive research into printers for my home office and an intensive review of my budget, I finally settled on the HP Photosmart C3180 without seeing any reviews. However, I figured that the price was right, the HP reputation is strong and the functions of the printer are what I need.
I connected the printer as soon as it arrived (piece of cake, even for a novice like me). I then began to use it very heavily. I am so impressed. THe quality of the print is incredible, the printer is versatile and it moves fast (especially when in the economical fast mode). The difference in operations and results between this printer and those in the $250 to $300 price range is negligible.
As far as looks are concerned, the printer is sleek with a very small footprint, even taking the paper tray into consideration. It has a clean appearance without an industrial look. It is great for today's offices with a more contemporary appearance.
The only possible...Read more

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: HP Photosmart C3180 All-in-One Printer, Scanner, and Copier (Office Product)
I bought this to replace my old beloved Canon PIXMA ip1500 after about two years of faithful use. In the end, the print head clogged up, and even after several alcohol soaks, I could not revive it. My Canon was a blessing as far as ink prices were concerned, and I wanted a good printer to replace it. I decided that I was going to step up and get a multifuction printer this time.
I settled on this one after reading the reviews on Amazon. I am very pleased with my purchase. For starters, the printer looks amazing. It is very sleek, and it doesn't look like your typical office machine at all. It is very well designed, and everything fits together in a compact way. One thing that made me leap for joy with this printer was the ink cartridges. They are not as cheap as my beloved PIXMA ip1500 ink cartridges, but there is a reason for this. Older printers used to have a separate print head that the ink would fit into. That was great, but if the print head got clogged, you would be...Read more

Sweet little device; fat, ugly Windows drivers,

This review is from: HP Photosmart C3180 All-in-One Printer, Scanner, and Copier (Office Product)
It's hard to argue with a combo scanner/printer that didn't cost you anything. I received mine free after rebate with the purchase of my new MacBook. Neverthless, there's a few things to be aware of:
PRO's
- The scan quality is very good. I'm pleased with the results I've gotten from the scans I've made so far.
- The print quality is also quite good. However, it's not quite as perfect as the higher-end PhotoSmart printers.
- Print speed is very fast, especially at draft settings.
- Tidy, space-saving design. I like the horizontal orientation of the scanner lid, and how it opens on the "front." The paper tray lifts up and snaps in place -- even when paper is loaded -- helping you regain a significant amount of desk space when it's not in use.
- PC-less copying. You can drop a document on the scanner bed, press the buttons on the top of the C3180, and get a very nice reproduction in a very short period of time. Nice bonus...Read more
