Important Printer Buying Tip: ALWAYS check for the ink cartridge prices before you purchase a printer. Why? Sometimes cheaper printers end up costing more because its ink cartridges may be way expensive. You should calculate the "cost of ownership" per month. The math is simple: (number of prints per month) times (cost of the cartridge) divided by (the yield of the cartridge). Yield is the number of pages that can be printed with one particular cartridge. For example, assume that average home user prints 150 black pages per month using a black cartridge that yields 200 pages and costs $28. The monthly "cost of ownership" is (150 pages) x ($28) = $21 200 pages Also look at the printer ink alternatives; besides the original manufacturer's cartridges (OEMs), you may have the selection of remanufactured cartridges, compatible ink cartridges, and ink refill kits. |

PC WORLD.com Editors' review:
The HP Photosmart 8150 Photo Printer ($200 street) from Hewlett Packard is the smaller, less expensive cousin of the Photosmart 8450. It can easily serve as an all-purpose printer, with good performance across the board and output quality that ranges from just short of very good to excellent. But what makes the 8150 of special interest is a color LCD and kiosk-style menu features that let you fix flaws in your photos when you print without a computer.
Even a quick glance at the 8150 suggests that it's not a typical ink jet. The 2.5-inch LCD on the front panel is complemented by about a dozen buttons and knobs, along with slots for six memory-card formats. There's also a USB port for a PictBridge camera, USB key, or a $50 Bluetooth adapter. The LCD lets you preview your pictures, and the buttons let you work through the direct-printing menus to crop photos, remove red-eye, adjust brightness, apply digital flash, and more, with no computer in sight. You can also pick a frame to print from a video clip.
Setup is typical for an ink jet connected by USB cable, except for the ink choices. The printer comes with one tricolor cartridge and one color photo cartridge. But you can replace the photo-ink cartridge with a black cartridge, as we did for our business-applications suite, or with a photo-gray cartridge, which is intended for black-and-white photos.
Output quality is in the top tier for ink jets, ranking just short of very good for text and graphics and excellent for photos. More than half the fonts we test are easily readable at 4 points, although some stylized fonts require 12 points. Graphics suffer only from banding in default mode and a tendency for full-page output to make the paper curl just a bit.
Performance is also a plus. The total time of 17 minutes 42 seconds on our business-applications suite is faster than all but a handful of ink jets and not much slower than the fastest we've seen, the Canon Pixma iP4000 and Pixma iP3000, which each had a total time of 15:48. For photos, the 1:52 average for 4-by-6 prints and the 4:23 average for 8-by-10s is similarly faster than most ink jets, although only about one-fourth the speed of the $480 Canon i9900.
With this level of output quality and performance, the HP Photosmart 8150 is interesting as both an all-purpose printer and a good choice for printing photos without a computer.
