Getting Started

Believe it or not, the HP Photosmart 8450 clocked in with the fastest installation time of all – not something you would expect from a high-end printer with all the bells and whistles.

Appearance

You won’t believe your eyes when you pull the cover off this sleek machine – it’s absolutely gorgeous. Every corner and angle is shaped just right to create a lasting first impression. And the 2.5” LCD sits proudly in the front and center. Let’s put it this way, you wouldn’t throw this printer down next to a ratty hand-me-down monitor.

Features

• Up to 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi (HP photo paper, 1200 x 1200 dpi input)
• Up to 20 pages per minute black and color
• 4" x 6" photo printing time as fast as 27 seconds
• 2.5" color image LCD
• Direct photo printing
• Eight-ink color
• HP Image Zone software
• Panorama and video clip printing
• Ethernet networking

Pros:

• Very quick setup and install time
• Built-in 7-in-1 card reader
• Although the price seems high at $249.99, remember that you get what you pay for, and you’re getting a ton of features here

Cons:

• None

Adding It All Up

The HP Photosmart 8450 Printer demands attention. This is the type of machine you can’t leave alone because of its multi-functionality. You’ll be playing with this thing for months! The print quality could not be better. At max dpi settings, your prints will look better than real life. Calling this a high-end printer is an understatement.

A special thank-you to HP for providing this fine product for review on UpgradeAdvisor.com.
