- According to the latest catalog from one of the local computer retailers here
- in Columbus (Micro Center in case anybody cares), HP currently sells 3
- inkjet printers for the Mac. These are the:
-
- Deskwriter--black & white printing only. Uses single black cartridge.
-
- DeskWriter C--black & white & color printing. Uses a single tri-color
- (yellow, red, Blue) cartridge. Black is a composite
- rather than a true black.
-
- DeskWriter 550C--Black & white & color printing. Uses both a black
- and Color cartridge to integrate black and color
- printing.
-
-
- The DeskWriter & DeskWriter C are listed at $349 & $499 respectively after $50
- mail in rebate from HP. The 550C is $729 and the rebate offer does not apply.
-
- Two weeks ago I purchased a 550C from OSU's computer store for $677 (edu.
- price). So far I'm very pleased with it. Color printing is very impressive.
- If you need color and can afford it, get the 550C.
