Loose Lips at HP
It seems The Consumerist has some dissapointing things to say about HP printers. The reviews I posted previously don’t seem to agree with this article on HP’s ‘shortcuts’, but buyer beware. Note that this article is talking about all HP printers and the HP B9180 mentioned in the previous post is decidedly an more upscale printer targeted at pros and prosumers, and at a market that HP is eager to break into. It’s possible this means they’ll likely be better constructed than the low end ‘freebie’ models that manufacturers give away as lost leaders in order to make money on consumables.
[update: Here's a followup article from The Consumerist with more on the same subject]
