Summary: Very Easy & Nice Photo Quality
Review: Both the HP photosmart 7960 printer and HP photo album software that comes with are VERY EASY to use and quick to build great looking prints and albums. I have an old Kodak digital camera and used to print with an old HP 895 color printer...what a HUGE improvement printing with hp photosmart 7960. Ink can be pricy, but the photo ink seems to be a key to professional looking results. With the birth of my nephew at year end...went to the hospital, snapped several close up and posed shots...went home and in a short time had an album ready for the proud parents...8x10's look fabulous...and the variety arrangements and wallet size options added that professional touch.

Summary: Everyone should have one!
Review: Combine this printer with the new HP Premium Plus photo paper and you would swear that your prints were from film! I recieved this printer as a gift this weekend and spent today in heaven playing with it. First off, it is the easiest printer I have ever dealt with! You don't even need to have a computer hooked up! The panel is intuitive; but, gives you a lot of control including print size, # of copies, zoom, and rotate. And everything you do to the photo is shown on the screen which adjusts to whatever angle is easiest for you to view. I was printing using the low-end black ink instead of the higher quality grayscale ink and I am still amazed at the quality of the prints! If you are looking for an amazing printer which is easy to operate, this is the one you want!

Summary: A great Photo Printer
Review: Completely delighted with the quality of the prints. The definition at A4 size from my Olympus 3.2 pixel camera is remarkable. My family want me to do all their processing in future. I also use it to print from my 35mm cameras processed to CD ROM. Wonderful value.

Summary: Rubbish
Review: Excellent print quality. However, I had frequent paper jams. The 4x6 paper holder is really flimsy and poorly designed. The "borderless prints" were rarely aligned correctly. There is no visual print preview which was very aggravating because I had no control over cropping. The printer cropped at will. I wasted alot of ink, paper and time trying to get the printer to print the way I wanted it to. The software is very poor and so are the guides and documentation. I was very relieved to return this printer. The high quality black and white prints are just not worth the aggravation. I'm getting a Canon.

Summary: Buyer beware
Review: First of all, this is my fourth HP product I have purchased. The other 3 printers were all excellent performers. I was very shocked, flabbergasted, and disappointed when the USB connection was completely incompatibe. After 40 minutes of waiting for an on-line HP technician, I was informed that this printer works only with HP digital cameras. What a major disappointment. HP suggested I call Minolta and Canon to see if they had any adapter that would work, thanks HP. No thanks, no mas, I am returning this clunker back.

Summary: Great Printer!
Review: HP has come through again. I purchased this printer a few weeks ago from Amazon.com. I had it up and running in minutes. The print quality is great, it is very user friendly, especially the one-touch button for e-mailing. The fact that it takes several different media cards for direct printing is a real plus. If you want a great printer with great results, you can't go wrong with the HP 7960 photosmart printer.

Summary: MSRP prices at Amazon
Review: I am sure that this printer is top notch as most HP photo printers are. One word of warning to the consumers here is to KNOW your prices and do your research BEFORE coming to Amazon. Do not go by their crossed out MSRP dollar amount. I have found several instances where the price that Amazon shows is NOT the manufacturer's MSRP! The MSRP on this 7960 printer is $299.00. That is what HP told me. Amazon wants you to believe that you can save $50.00 by purchasing it here for $299.99. I have written to the BBB, the WA State Consumer Protection office and Amazon to correct this error. My attempts have been futile. Amazon's response- "there are several million items listed on our web site. It would be impossible for us to check on the price of each item on a regular basis, so we rely on the data provided to us by our suppliers." Evidently, between HP and Amazon, there is another company giving Amazon these incorrect prices. My point- if a customer points out a GLARING error, why not check it out with the manufacturer? Why hide behind the above statement?Be careful. They do have some good buys here, but you have to do your homework BEFORE you come here!

Summary: A horrible printer
Review: I cannot find anything good to report about this printer, except that it was easy to set up. All of the moving parts just feel cheap and junky, like they are ready to break at any moment. The print cartridges jam about 50% of the time. Photos are printed crooked on the paper (on a slight diagonal). There are orange and yellow lines through the middle of the photos. I have had so much wasted paper because the printer decides to spit out sheets of random letters at any time. This printer is going back.

Summary: HP 7760 vs. HP 7960
Review: I couldn't decide between the HP Photosmart 7760 and 7960 so I bought them both, and I printed the exact same pictures from both pictures to compare quality. I found that I liked the coloring of the 7760 in most of the color pictures. The 7960 tended to have reddish looking pictures. For example, a person's face would look redder in the 7960 pictures. But the 7960 did have more detail in landscape type pictures. Hands down, the 7960 did the best job printing black and white (used the 59 Black and White cartridge in both printers). For me, I only print black and white photos about 10% of the time. I did like the slightly bigger LCD screen of the 7960, but found the menus and options exactly the same as the 7760. The 7960 is longer(20.9") than the 7760, and it did not fit on my desk. The 7960 comes with 4 ink cartridges - 56 (black for documents), 57 (tri-color), 58(photo ink), and 59(black for black and white photos). While the 7760 comes with 2 ink cartridges - 57 and 58. Buying the 56 and 59 is about an additional $40, which could be a consideration when buying the 7760. In the end, I kept the 7760. I just could not justify the additional $100 for the 7960.

Summary: I love it!
Review: I got the HP 7960 for my first grade classroom. I snap pictures and print them right there in the class. I have printed 80 photos so far without a technical problem of any kind. The photos look great to me. I've had digital photos printed at Ofoto, and the photos on the 7960 are as good. I did not buy HP paper, but still haven't had one printing problem. Recommended!
