This is an excellent printer. I just got it about 2 days ago and have printed out several 8" x 11" digital photographs. Honestly, I can not tell the difference between a regular photograph and the print out when I use laser photo paper. Even with regular paper, the printouts are good, but you lose a lot of contrast. The software lets you bump the print quality up to 600 x 1200 dpi. The printer also prints extremely fast.There are 2 negatives that I can tell at the moment...
1. The printer is somewhat noisy and seems to clean between each print job (I think).
2. The printer is pretty big so you need space.
I have seen photo print outs from this printer and the HP Color Laserjet 3600n (Which both use the same cartridges) and think both printers have excellent image quality. If you are looking for a printer that will print out excellent quality images, this probably is the printer you want. Go to a store that carries this printer and print out a demo print to see the image quality. (Click on the ''menu'' button, scroll down to ''information'' and hit the green ''check mark'' button then scroll down to ''print demo'' and hit the green ''check mark'' button again).
I paint and draw portraits and take digital photographs of the paintings to use in my portfolio. I have to say that this printer should work great for that. If I did professional photography or wedding photos, it may not be high enough quality for that, I do not know.
Finally, the color is a bit off straight out of the box. I haven''t taken the time to adjust it, but I assume that this really wouldn''t be a big deal since I noticed some color adjustment software with the windows XP driver, which is the OS I use.
