What is the number of the HP printer that you got? I too would like one that reduces and enlarges.
Thanks

Do you have a certain computer program to produce labels for your quilts?

Since I work at Costco, I would recommend you buy one there. If you take it home and don't like it, you can always return it Just my opinion. We probably have the best return policy ever and I won't buy any electronics anywhere else. just sayin Wendy

I can't tell you what to buy...I can however highly suggest you DO NOT buy a Cannon.
It burns through ink. I do belive its a consipiracy. I don't print much in color at all...but I run out of color all the time. It also contains two black cartridges and if you run out of one black it doesnt draw from the second black. It is by far the most expensive printer i have ever maintained. I'm going back to HP when I get the funds.

I have tried Cannon and Epsom printers, always go back to HP. Can't beat the quality and features of HP printers.

I have an HP Photosmart that works well for everything I need it to do. I use it alot for pictures, have made quilt labels with it, have printed on fabric and it's been a work horse. That said, mine quit working last night so I'll be out shopping this morning for a new one. This is my 3rd HP and I've liked all of them. Also had an Epson way back that I loved. Good luck with your printer choice.

I have an HP Officejet J4580 All-in-One, and I love it. I agree with romanojg that you can't go wrong with an HP.

I have a HP Photosmart that is wireless - It scans, prints, faxes & copies - can print labels on cd's. I have had it for 2 yrs - Although it works great, the wireless connection over the weekend stopped working - no big deal, because it still works when plugged in.
Usually the printers are not that expensive - it is the cost of the print cartridges you have to worry about.

If you want good quality you need one with 6 cartridges so that the colours are truer.
I bought the Epson PX720WD. Brilliant for photoquality prints so should improve fabric printing too.
