HP announced today 4 new printers. There's some interesting stuff in the press release, but the biggest news is that they now support 'real' boarderless printing on all sizes up to 8.5x11. If your biggest complaint was the 'tabbed' 4x6 boarderless feature, then this news should make you happier.
Here's the details:
HP Deskjet 5650 color inkjet printer: fast speeds (laser-quality black at up to 21 pages per minute (ppm) and color at up to 15 ppm), optional six-ink printing, 4,800-optimized dpi,(6) edge-to-edge borderless(2) up to 8.5 x 11-inch photo printing, print quality selector button, an estimated U.S. street price of $149(7);
HP Deskjet 5150 color inkjet printer: optional six-ink printing, 4,800-optimized dpi(6), edge-to-edge borderless(2) up to 8.5 x 11-inch photo printing, an estimated U.S. street price of $99(7);
HP Deskjet 3650 color inkjet printer: optional six-ink printing, borderless 4 x 6-inch photo printing,(8) an estimated U.S. street price of $79(7);
HP Deskjet 3520 color inkjet printer: up to 2,400 x 1,200-dpi color printing -- and crisp black from a single tri-color cartridge, compact size with fold-up paper tray, an estimated U.S. street price of $39.(7)
Also, HP announced the availability of new photo papers with better gloss and a thicker, better feel. Same industry-leading fade-resistance as their last generation of photo papers when using OEM ink...
The 5650 has a front panel that lets you select your print quality from the printer. This is handy if you print on plain paper and want to switch between 'draft' mode and 'best' mode without having to mess with the printer driver. Of course if you're only interested in printing photos on glossy paper, then this probably isn't a huge feature... but it's cool if you use the printer for day-to-day printing as well as photos.
