This is true, but when printing by memory card you get the same input quality as any printer (600dpi), it's just that when you print from the PC, you get twice what any other printer uses, 1200DPI, so this isnt really a problem, it will still be excellent quality.


The other caveat was that you have to change print cartridges to get quality B/W prints or color prints. Other inkjets I've used always have had room for both the color cartridge and the B/W cartridge. I guess that's not the case here. Maybe the 6 color cartridge is too big to allow both? I think you can make B/W prints with the color cartridge but they're not good quality.

The printer uses 3 cartridges, either:
Color (CMY) & Black (K): For normal color graphic and text printing
Color (CMY) & Photo (cmk): For photo quality printing

C: Cyan
M: Magenta
Y: Yellow
K: Pigmented black for laser quality text
c: Light Cyan
m: Light Magenta
k: Black

So it is basically a 7 color printer, the HP PS 7550 can hold all 3 cartridges at once but I really dont think its worth2-3 times the price just so you dont have to swap cartridges (and you get a built in color LCD which is quite useless if you print from your pc), it only takes 5 seconds anyway.
