HP Announces Summer Release of Three New Printers
June
2007 – HP rolled out their summer line of products today, including
nine new digital cameras and three inkjet printers. Two new photo
printers, the HP Photosmart D7260 and Photosmart D7460, utilize
six-cartridge, Vivera inks and feature a large, 3.5” display screen.
The Photosmart C5280 All-in-One printer features print, copy, and scan
capabilities, and it comes standard with one black and one tricolor
cartridge. Users can choose to purchase a six-ink color cartridge and
gray cartridge for enhanced photo printing. The D7260 and the D7460
sell for $149 and $179, respectively, and will be available in August
2007. The C5280 All-in-One will be available this month and sell for
$149.
HP’s new photo printers, the Photosmart D7260 and D7460,
can print at fast speeds—34 pages per minute (ppm) for black text and
33 ppm for color. Photos can print as quickly as ten seconds. Both
printers feature memory card slots and Ethernet connectivity, while the
D7460 ramps it up with wireless capabilities.
Other features of
the D7260 and D7460 printers include HP’s Red-eye Removal button and a
new Smart Web Printing feature that allows printing of web pages
without the cutoff edges. Color inks are available for $9.99, and the
black ink cartridge sells for $17.99. The HP 02 Value Pack includes all
six inks and 150 sheets of paper for only $35.99.
The Photosmart
C5280 All-in-One printer prints and copies documents as fast as 32 ppm
black and 24 ppm color, with 4” x 6” photos printing in as little as 27
seconds. The All-in-One’s scanner is capable of 48-bit, 4800 x 4800 dpi
scans.
Automated features on the C5280, such as the auto
paper-type sensor and automatically engaging photo paper tray, make
printing easier. A 2.4” LCD display and media card slots enable
printing directly from the printer. The printer can also print directly
onto CDs and DVDs.
While the C5280 ships with one 74 black and
one 75 tricolor ink cartridge, printing quality can be expanded by
purchasing the optional 99 six-ink color cartridge and 100 gray photo
cartridge. HP’s new high capacity XL cartridges are also available for
this all-in-one printer.
