  • Excellent color and B&W output. Replaceable print heads. High capacity pigment ink cartridges. Solidly built.
  • Does not support media thicker than 0.7mm (heavy card stock). Multipleuser networking not supported. Awkward feed arrangement for large sheets of paper.
  • Despite some paper-handling inconveniences, the B8850’s high quality output, decent speed (2 minutes, 30 seconds to print a quality 8-by-10), and moderate ink costs (about $3 for a 13-by-19-inch print) make it a heavy hitter. It’s a 38-pound b...
