Yes, you will need an ink jet printer. Any printer that prints well with black ink. I actually used black sharpie on the clear film provided.

I agree with dclaudew. Do you really need it? I no longer have the printer, I had bought 2 of them and had been very happy with them until I replaced the belt unit and the drum along with the waste unit on the second printer which had been bought as a replacement of the first one. From that day I replaced the units, it never worked right; so finally I gave it away for free to a tech guy and bought a Samsung. It is a lighter machine but I have pretty much closed my home business so for my personal and volunteering needs it will do.

Tip on printing greeting cards. Use Matte finish presentation paper. Make them 1/4 fold design. You'll get awsome quality and they're easier to fold than card stock anyway. It's normally 32 to 35# HP brand seems to be the best value at this time.That said....I don't think I want this printer as I often need to print on heavy paper for other print jobs.

The software you use should not be an issue. As long as your computer has a USB port, the printer should work nicely.

Thanks for responding! In spite of the lack of reviews, I've decided to give this printer a try ... I'll let you know how that choice turns out!

I'm not a photographer either. I use it to print design pieces and it works great. I recommend buying the cable for more reliable printing. You'll need it anyway for set up.

Inkjet...it can be used with Apple products...that is why I purchased it...it is what is known as an "airprinter"...which you need to print from I-Pads. Etc.

That should work well-- it's the shiny side you want. I have same printer and paper, and my prints are outstanding. Are you printing from Photoshop? I just noticed that I always select Standard by default-- but choosing photo shouldn't make any real difference like you describe.

Any inkjet printer should work. I used a hp photosmart 8150 and it worked like a charm.

Sorry, I don't have a printer on this. I'm sure most would work with it though. I'd go to staples or a similar store and they should help.

We use Epson Artisan 730 with no issues. It took a little time (trial and error) to set up the cloud printing but once it was set up no issues.

Honestly it doesn't matter which printer you get. If you like HP, then get a HP; if you like Epson, then get an Epson. The same can be said for most other brands. Personally, I have an Epson SW215W and I like it a lot. As mentioned in another response, I would also recommend a wireless printer. As for costs; printers are very cheap these days, the expense is in the running costs, i.e. printer cartridges. So look for the printer that has the lowest running costs per page. The cost of the printer becomes rapidly irrelevant the more pages you print. I hope this helps.

No problem what so ever. We print intermittently. The X576 ink system is superior and faster than color laser printers. It uses four vibrant inkjet cartridges.

Payday is Friday, I guess I'll buy an HP. Don't hold yer breath,they are piles of junk too.I have had 5 or 6 highend HP inkjet AIO's fail in one way shape or form.AND consider their warranty is one year and when it breaks,it's a throw away.Consider a laser or a Brother inkjet pro at about the same pricing.

Yes ma am... If you need more help let me know what brand printer and I can be specific on the details.. But you can print to just about any printer with this computer.

Yes, that should work just fine. Printers are pretty universal and should work for any brand of computer (except for dell printers with apple computers, but that's another story!)
