I got my new HP Photosmart Pro B9180 photo printer installed and running this weekend. It works great. I got it placed in the closet, got the power and network hooked up, installed the software and Adobe plugin, and made two prints. First print was a color image that I have trying for weeks to print on my old printer. I was never able to get the color to come out correctly before. On this printer, it came out beautiful on the first try. The second print was a B&W. Any of you who have tried this know that B&W is much harder to print well than color. The B&W print came out with amazing detail and smooth gradations of gray. It especially did a nice job in the very bright areas like specular highlights. I am very happy with the printer so far. Next step is to try it on some art grade papers.
