Summary: Excellent HP Printer as usual!
Review: I received my new HP 7960 Photosmart printer 2 weeks ago. Set up is very easy and the printer is excellent at printing photos. This printer is wide (20") so make sure you have room for it. The printer comes with a large viewing screen which makes it easy to view your photographs prior to printing. One drawback: You have to change out the grey photo cartridge to the black cartridge in order to print text, but I am using this printer strictly for printing photographs anyway. The printer accepts most memory cards and also has a USB port on the front of it. I highly recommend this printer!!

Summary: cannot find a flaw yet
Review: I received this printer last year as a holiday gift and I have not found a flaw yet......it prints very crisp photos that rival any camera store product, it is amazingly easy to use, has lots of editing capabilites, easy to navigate functions, accepts all kinds of digital cards (which is GREAT since you don't have to buy a different printer if you change digital cameras) and prints up to 10 x 12 photos. This printer is well worth the price; in fact, I'd be willing to pay more so it's a bargain. This printer gets heavy usuage (it goes thru at least one ink cartridge change per 75 photos) and I have two toddlers who have - not on my watch - "played" with it and it still works like a dream. Does it get any better than this?!? I think not.

Summary: Disappointing HP - Canon Outperforms.
Review: I seem to be one of the few disappointed by the HP 7960. I found the photo print quality lacked depth. The machine itself felt too light weight, the intertia of the printing caused it to skid across the desk. The machine was prone to paper jamming. After a week, I returned it in favor of a Canon i900D.The Canon machine is much more substantial and gives much warmer pictures. Downsides - LCD isn't as clear as it could be and the machine takes a little longer to set up. Overall though, the Canon is the winner. (especially as it is almost $100 cheaper)

Summary: High quality, fairly easy to use.
Review: I was looking for a photo orinter that was higher-end than the multitude of $100 choices out there. I didn't want to spend the $600 and up for some of the low-end professional options out there either. In comes the HP 7960.
This printer has the bells and whistles I like -- without the gimmicks I don't want to pay for. Having bought and still using an HP laser printer (1100a) many years ago, I felt comfortable with the quality for price of the product.
Printing out pictures is very easy. Since I msotly use my laptop these days I really like the option for dropping in the compact flash card and printing directly from that. Now I can leave the printer in the office but keep my laptop whever I need it. No computer necessary for printing! The menu system is easy to use except one thing -- moving the selector for the printed area with some print sizes. Other than that, I give this two thumbs up. The photo quality is VERY good!

Summary: I love my HP Photosmart 7960
Review: I was looking for an 8 1/2 by 11 inch borderless printer for producing high quality double sided product brochures. I bought an Epson Stylus Photo R800. WRONG thing to buy. It does 8 1/2 by 11 and it does borderless printing, but NOT on 8 1/2 by 11 media. The largest borderless print media is 8 by 10, and no one makes that in two sided print surfaces. I returned the Epson and got the HP. What a relief, it does exactly what I want and is not finicky, lots of options for acceptable paper. I did have some trouble installing software however. I had to shut down and remove all other USB devices and then load the printer before it would install properly. Otherwise 5 stars.

Summary: Easy to use!
Review: I'm very impressed by the straight forward design and navigation of the HP PhotoSmart 7960. Very easy to use and figure out, even if you're a technophobe like myself. Out of the box it was easy to set up with the step-by-step poster that they provided. Right away I was printing vacation photos straight from my compact flash (with the printer's default settings, without being hooked up to a computer) and I got really good printouts. Pros: The LCD display is bigger than most digital cameras and is very clear, navagation is straight forward and easy to figure out, the color range is good (considering there's "8 colors"), very easy to use. Cons: It comes with color cartridges that combine colors (CMY, Light-CMY, Grey or Black) so if you run out of one color you have to replace the whole thing. On glossy photo paper the overall color tends to be a bit darker. And at the moment it's a bit pricy compared with it's competition.

Summary: does a great job
Review: I've used this printer for a ton of photos taken at 2288*1520 and it has done a great job on all from 4*6 to 8*10.The 4*6 prints from this printer are impossible to tell apart from the 4*6 prints from my photo dedicated dye sublimation printer.With many more print size options compared to more expensive dye subs this would be a great choice instead.The card reader is also a great benefit works very nicely and is simple to use.It's only real bothersome side is that you must change the gray scale print catridge for black when printing text and back for photos.I also use an epson 960 that does an absultely equal job at photos that doesn't require any cartridge changes but with the epson you give up the card reader convenience.

Summary: I LOVE this printer!
Review: In searching for a photo printer, I initially bought the epson 1280, and returned it in a few weeks. It went through ink like crazy -- I had to replace the ink two to three times a week, and I wasn't printing out very many photos. Plus, the epson supplies were hard to find. After it's return, I bought this printer, the HP 7960, and I couldn't be happier. The pictures are fantastic; the print speed is so much faster than the epson; supplies are easy to find, and I haven't used one full ink cartridge in the month I've had it. I'm close, though. I also like the direct entry of a digital camera card -- no need to use the computer to print out GREAT pictures. Sign me THRILLED!
