Product Information

The Hewlett-Packard Photosmart Pro B8850 Inkjet Printer provides the capability to print archival, photos and other documents in sizes up to 13 x 19" with professional photo output and rich sharp text and graphics that are comparable to a top shelf Laser Printer. The HP Vivera Ink System provides print life that easily rivals that of traditional photo lab prints with a level of detail and color accuracy that is truly astounding. Furthermore, the Photosmart Pro B8850 is an excellent choice for a serious photographer, or graphic artist who needs consistent images thanks to its breakthrough built-in color calibration system.

Features

• Professional Quality Photographs

Print Stunning professional-quality photos with continuous tones, smooth transitions and beautiful contrasts, using HP Vivera Inks.

• Print Photos up to 13x19 Inches

Print matte or glossy borderless photos in all sizes from passport, frames and panorama to gallery-size up to 13x19", with or without borders, and easily load thicker paper types through the rear input tray.

• Fast Printing

Print a 4 x 6-inch photo in as fast as 10 seconds, a 13 x 19" in less than 90 seconds, or print color text and graphics as fast as 26 ppm.

• Consistent Print-to-Print Color

You'll get print with reliable and predictable color with the built-in color calibration system, and you'll have superior color control with support for Adobe RGB, sRGB, and ICC profiles along with full compatibility with Adobe Photoshop CS3.

• Self Cleaning System

Keep your printer in top working condition and reduce wasted ink with the efficient self-cleaning system incorporated right into the printer.

• Easy Image Processing

You'll be able to streamline your print workflow with a single user interface thanks to the included HP ProPrint plug-in for Adobe Photoshop CS2, and the printer provides access to its color management tools with a single button.

• Long Lasting Color

The HP Viviera Inks, combined with HP Photo Paper gives longer life to your artistic vision with prints that resist fading longer than lab-processed photos.

• Individual Ink Cartridges

Save money and time by replacing only the ink that has run-out with individual ink cartridges. Plus, you will not have to swap out cartridges for printing on different media types since the printer holds both Matte Black and Photo Black ink cartridges simultaneously.

• Incorporates HP Real Life Technologies

Streamline your image workflow and automatically remove red-eye, sharpen photographs and improve color with HP Real Life technologies.
