I am an amateur photographer interested in quality prints. Results
from Ritz and other print shops have not been to my liking. Most of my
printing is 4 x 6; some 5 x 7; and an occasional 8 x 10. Again,
quality is my goal for my intended purposes. I would welcome opinions
and recommendations. Thanks.

It is a very nice printer, capable of printing with 9 inks and up to
13"x24". Steve's Digicam has a review at
http://www.steves-digicams.com/2005_reviews/hp8750.html where he
concludes "The Photosmart 8750 is the wide carriage 'big brother' of the
Photosmart 8450 printer that we reviewed last year. Its photo print
quality is excellent and equals the output of the best photo inkjet
printers that I've used to date."

Prints from the 8750 won in the PMA "shootout" where various
manufacturers submit prints for judging at the PMA show. See

I have one here and could send you a print if you want to email me a jpg
and your snail mail address.

I would edit with Photoshop Elements. You could also organize with it
also. Print with a Canon IP5200 and use OEM ink. It is consistent and
offers the least risk to clogging the printer. I would either use Canon
Photo Paper Pro or Costco/Kirkland Glossy at 1/7 of the price. Buy a
Fiskars or Carl rotary paper cutter (Fiskars at Costco under $29.00 and
the 8.5 sheets of paper and cut to size.

I compared results against Ritz and like them better.
