I am a very experienced color printer who uses a large-format Epson pigment printer for my photography. I bought an HP 9980 Deskjet for document printing and desktop photo proofing. This inkset gives acceptable, if not great, photo reproduction with HP papers that are profiled for this printer. I am very unhappy, however, that I have not found any icc profiles which would enable me to make photo-quality prints using other brands of paper with this inkset. The HP 9980 printer was ridiculously inexpensive but the HP inks and papers are richly-priced for the captive market and come to nearly $2 per 8.5/11 photo print.

ADDED 4 months later: I have had several photo prints on display in a brightly lit room with no direct sunlight for several months. The color has shifted badly to a greenish tint in the neutral density tones from middle gray to near-white (zones 5-9) Conclusion: This is worthless as a photo printer and you'll find much better alternatives for document printing. I expected better from HP. I'd change to one star if Amazon would let me edit that part of the review.

No se si fue por mal almacenamiento del suplidor o que fue lo que paso. Pero no me funciono.
