HP AIOs are good performers as well as VFM ones...

Can grtly print fotos with vivid clarity...

I use an HP AIO- PSC 1402... Base model bot las yr fer 5k... but good one...

Cartridges're a li'l exp than canon tho...

Personal and Off Topic Opinion, never buy All in One for business perpuse !!!

Why ??

Because suppose there is a fault and u have to take it to service center, what happens is the total unit goes :p suppose problem with Print... but as they or u take the full unit, u face a problem of total black out in other section too :p

@choto cheeta No........it's only for personal use.

considering the high maintanence cost of HP compared to canon, is it still recommendable to go to hp??????

yup.i'll reccomend you HP.

its nearly two years with HP PS1402 (now F380), & still no problems faced (except a MS word gfx. conflict, solved with driver update).

Cannons I find are great for pumping out text docs. Epsons for pictures. had an old HP kept giving me problems so I bought a Lexmark AIO... only downfall is that they tend to give you a "Trial" amount of ink with them (about half full cartridge) so best to buy a refill kit as well. but it seems a lot of people prefer the HP.
