anyone using the HP 9180 printer?
I've always assumed that when I'm ready to get a "real" photoprinter, it was going to be the Epson 2400, because I would want pigment-based inks, because B3 size is good enough for me, and because I can't spend thousands of (dollars, pounds, euros) on a printer. I'm not a professional, and I can't spend more on a printer than on a camera body! But I've just discovered the HP 9180. Seems to be a bit cheaper than the Epson, and also uses pigment inks. Am I correct that Canon's equivalent printer is the iPF 9500, which costs almost $2000. Has anyone done a three-way comparison of these pigment-based printers. I guess these are all the "entry level" models. On a related topic, is Epson going to replace the 2400 any time soon? Say within the next six months? -AH

As a home printer the B9180 should be very good, color is excellent using profiles, B&W is OK. The HP uses 2 black inks at any time, 3 total on the printer, while the Epson uses 3 at any time, 4 total with the printer. Therefore I'd give a B&W edge to the Epson, though the HP does reasonably well. The HP is a well built printer, HP tech support has been very good, I have been using one for 7 months at work, and have ordered another for a satellite office. I do feel the 17 inch printers are better buys, at higher prices. The Epson 3800 is especially a good value, the Canon iPF 5000 is discontinued but now being sold for rediculously low prices (huge industrial printer). The Canon iPF 5100 is the replacement that is being sold for around $2K. These 3 printers are less expensive to run, generally faster than their 13 inch siblings. Yes the B9180 is a good printer. Tom

Yes, I expect that Epson will announce a replacement to the 2400 soon. They just announced the R1900, replacement to the R1800 (looks much the same chassis, but with revised Ultrachrome Gloss II ink set), and have updated the K3 inkset in new pro series printers. I expect that like the R1800/2400 shared design, the R2480 (my guess at name) will share the R1900 chassis, but with similar paper feed differences. The advances aren't likely to offer a big difference in print quality (all printers incl. the B9180, Canon pixma pros etc are extremely good), so expect major advances to be in speed and user-friendliness. The one area of user unfriendliness that won't change is cost of ink. All three (HP/Epson/Canon) are equally greedy on this.

I guess these are all the "entry level" models. http://www.photo-i.co.uk/Reviews/printers/Pigs/page_1.html has a rather extensive comparative review of all three printers. There is also a Yahoo group for the HP B9180 at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/hp9100Series/ with more than a thousand members. Regards, Bob Headrick, MS MVP Printing/Imaging
