HP introduce Photosmart 7960, 7760 and 7260 printers

HP announce a new range of inkjet printers with a pioneering eight-ink printing system, PhotoREt Pro which allows users to print professional quality black & white photos in addition to vibrant and detailed colour for the very first time. Available in the majority of HP's new range of photo printers, this advanced precision technology undoubtedly raises the game for leading printer brands.

HP's new range is very much designed for photo enthusiasts. The premier HP Photosmart 7960 with added photo features is built on the proprietary eight-ink printing system, whilst the Photosmarts 7760 and 7260 offer interchangeable black & white and colour. The simplest printer in the range, the HP Photosmart 7260, is perfect for people whose sole interest lies in rendering superior colour photos.

HP PhotoREt Pro precision technology utilises eight-ink printing or up to 4800 dpi to deliver the most impressive results in the printer market. Designed and tested together for assured optimum quality, HP's proprietary eight-ink system consists of a dedicated Photosmart printer, tri-colour, photo colour and crucially, grey photo cartridges, as well as improved Premium Plus Satin Matt and Glossy Papers. Together, they provide digital photography aficionados and novices alike with a solution to eliminate the need for complicated printer profiling.

"We are aiming to drive enhanced printing into the mainstream photo and imaging market by reducing prices for premium technologies and pioneering ground breaking advancements like our new eight-ink printing system", says John Duckworth, HP Printer Category manager. "This breakthrough catapults consumer photo printing to a brand new level, taking moody black & white photos out of the specialist sector and into the hands of the masses."
