of this printer is excellent, and it gave us photo quality prints on glossy media. One has to be prudent while making use of the printer though, since the media and ink costs could add up to a substantial amount.

Cost of cartridges varies for different colors, and so does the life of each (See table for the number of plots possible with each cartridge). The printer ships with cartridges, one tray, the required software, and some HP printing material to get you started.

Overall, a good deal at Rs 55,000.
