HP Photosmart D7360 Printer Review

This printer produces drop dead gorgeous photos when using HP Premium Photo paper. They are practically dripping with glossy eye popping color! Text is also sharp and crisp. Normal copier paper is passable, but buying the special HP paper really makes a noticable improvement. (personal plug: you can buy paper and inkjet from HP's website with free overnight shipping with no minimum purchase!)
The touch screen makes printing from memory cards very easy. It also reduces the number of buttons on the printer itself -- which accounts for its sleek Mac-inspired styling. The printer can also fix exposure and red eye right in the printer! No need to connect it to your computer. In fact, I find myself copying photos from iPhoto to my memory card and then printing directly from the card (it seems easier than going through all the options in the print dialogue box). You can even print photos directly from your iPod with your USB dock cable! (Now, if I only had an iPod!)
The D7360 also uses HP's new inexpensive 6 color "02" inks -- which means you only need to replace the inks you use, and they won't cost a fortune. It's a fast printer -- but I take points off because the printer really shimmy and shakes your desk when it's printing -- like a little earthquake! Also paper handling is a mixed bag. There is a nice built-in tray for 4x6 photo paper as well as one for everyday 8.5x11 paper. Unfortunately, the paper trays do not fold up when not in use. And it's a bit of a hassle to remove paper when you just want to print one envelope or 5x7 photos. Lastly, the printer itself is rather large considering HP's all-in-ones add a scanner but are the same size.

Canon-usa MP180 Pixma MP180 Photo All-in-one Print Review

I use a printer mainly for text and web page printing and the MP180 does a fine job there. It makes very good copies and and does so much faster than my former multifunction, a Canon MP390 (it took forever to warm up). That said, one big downer are the print cartridges - just like those in an HP printer (in fact, I read somewhere that HP manufacturers these cartridges). Canon states that these are part of the FINE system. When investigating printers I failed to fully research what FINE cartridges are, FINE being an acronym that I don't remember what it represents (something about the ink and printing process and that it will last for a hundred years when used to print photos). Shame on me for not doing so - I assumed this printer used Canon's ink tank system/separate print head that uses fairly inexpensive ink tanks. That feature has ALWAYS been a major attraction for me and is why my last couple printers were from Canon.
So, if you want a good, inexpensive photo multifunction printer consider the MP180 - but be forewarned about the print cartridges.
