Some of the interesting innovations that HP makes in its B9180 tell us we shouldn't count the company out of prosumer photo printing quite yet. After the resounding silence that met the Photosmart 8750, its first foray into the enthusiast/pro photo-printer space, HP valiantly tries again, this time having learned from its past mistakes. The HP Photosmart Pro B9180 uses a new set of eight pigm... Read more

It’s a rare event when a company comes out of the blue with a product that is so well thought out and so perfectly integrated with the Mac that you wonder how you lived without it. Hewlett-Packard has done just that with the Photosmart Pro B9180, a $700 photo inkjet printer that brings the feature set and print quality of $2,000 printers to the desktop of any serious digital photographer or graphic artist. HP has been the dominant presence in the consumer and business... Read more

HP’s Photosmart Pro B9180; HP Tosses Its Hat Into The Fine Art, Pigment Ink Printer Ring
Reviewer: Shutterbug01 November 2006First announced in February and now becoming available, the new HP Photosmart Pro B9180 is one of two new competitors to the Epson R2400 (the other being the Canon iP9500). Although 13x19 inkjets have been available for some time, including the highly regarded Photosmart 8750, the B9180 is the first pigment ink photo printer from HP, and the first Photosmart printer to bear the Pro label.

Excellent Printer
Reviewer: G. Berry, Amazon04 August 2008- Overall 10
This is an excellent printer. One review stated that you can only use "Advanced" paper in this printer...not so. If you want to use different papers you must "tell" the printer what type of paper you are using. It's easy to do from the printer properties menu. When you click "print", then click "printer properties" and several options open up to select all sort of things, type of paper, size, borderless or whatever. It's given me super results on many papers!! Comment Read more

I spent hours researching high-end, art quality printers before deciding on the HP BP9180 to handle my emerging natue photography business. This printer is a large, heavy, and solid workhorse that produces archival art museum quality prints. The hardest part was making room for the space required and getting the large printer out of the box. From that point on it took no time to set up, connect to PC with USB running on Windows XP platform. It is extremely important t... Read more

HP's new printer clarification
I can't speak to that new HP printer, but I replaced my dead Epson 2200 with the HP Photosmart Pro B9180. I had read that some people had a problem with this model that I purchased, and so did I. At print 91, it stopped feeding paper properly. I contacted HP, and after trouble shooting, it was decided that I needed a replacement. Because I had read that some pe...
