More HP reviews , RRP: AU$199.00

The good:

  • Inexpensive
  • Great graphics and photo print quality
  • Excellent colour scan quality
  • Can print on specially coated optical discs
  • Dedicated photo paper tray
  • Bundled software is easy to use
  • Print quality on discs is good

The bad:

  • Text quality needs significant improvement
  • Photo menus need to be reorganised to be more intuitive
  • Can't produce scannable proof sheet
  • Can't sort memory card contents by date
  • Lacks a PictBridge port

The bottomline:

Its features set is oddly unbalanced, and better all-in-one inkjet options cost just a bit more, but the HP Photosmart C5280 is a good bet for casual home users on a tight budget.
