The HP Photosmart Pro B9180 Photo Printer delivers exceptional image quality and the best photo permanence on the market. HP Vivera pigment ink technology, combined with the printer’s professional colors, enables accurate and consistent color reproduction. HP’s third-generation gray ink is more neutral than ever before, allowing for exceptionally smooth transitions and detail. Eight individual high-capacity ink cartridges enable high-volume printing with efficient printing speeds – producing 4 x 6-inch photos in as fast as 10 seconds and 13 x 19-inch photos as fast as 1.5 minutes – ideal for professional photographers and advanced amateurs. Users can print exceptional photos on digital fine art media including canvas, photo rag, watercolor, stiff pre-matte and film up to 1.5-mm thick, as well as improved HP Advanced Photo Paper.

The versatile HP Photosmart Pro B8350 Photo Printer is ideal for hobbyist photographers who want to achieve professional lab-quality prints – from 3.5 x 5-inch to 13 x 19-inch – at home. The printer produces rich and realistic, six-ink color photos that resist fading longer than lab-processed photos – up to 108 years – using HP Vivera Inks.1 Additionally, the HP Photosmart Pro B8350 Photo Printer offers users more printing options with a rear input tray, and easily handles thicker and stiffer papers.
