The B8850 turned in a creditable performance overall, with good looking, sharp prints with accurate color. But it was somewhat noisy while doing so; there is a lot of clanking and thumping from the printer itself while printing.
Performance:
The B8850 is not a fast printer, but it produces very decent photos, with good, accurate color and deep, dense blacks.
Inks & Media:
The 8 ink cartridges of the B8850 are expensive to refill ($350 for a complete set), but they seem to last a long time, and the printer can handle a good variety of paper sizes and types. HP claims that the photos it prints will last 200 years whem properly stored, so your grandchildren should be able to enjoy your photos as much as you do.
Other Features:
The B8850 is a no-frills printer; apart from its comprehensive photo printing features, there aren't any more major features.
