Amazon.com Review

Hewlett-Packard has made setting up home printers a precise science, reducing both confusion and time, resulting in a delightful experience with the DeskJet 960Cse. With the cable and cartridges in place and the power cord connected, we installed the driver software, calibrated the printer, and printed a test page. The entire process was intuitive, took only 20 minutes, and did not require consulting the manual.

In our tests, monochrome printing of basic office documents and envelopes turned out exceptionally well. The text was sharp, and the ink dried quickly without smudging. We also printed an assortment of color documents and Web graphics, and the 960Cse performed admirably; color fixed well to the paper without bleeding. However, when printing color photos from a digital camera, we needed to adjust the printer's photo enhancement settings to get the best quality. The driver software walked us through a variety of options to improve brightness and contrast. At 2,400 x 1,200 dpi, our color photos were sufficiently clear.

The printer comes with a sample paper pack that includes several sheets of HP professional brochure and flyer paper and HP premium photo paper. The paper loads easily into a convenient slide-out tray that accepts standard, large, and custom media sizes. The printer also comes with a power cord, CD-ROM, and color and black inkjet cartridges, and it is PC and Mac compatible. You'll need to provide your own parallel or USB printer cable.

Overall, we were impressed with the DeskJet 960Cse's color print quality, quick setup, simple operation, and helpful software. --Alexis Odell

5.0 out of 5 stars I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN, January 27, 2002

By 

Tim Wandke (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hewlett Packard DeskJet 960cse Color Printer (Office Product)

Last fall I bought a digital camera and I have been moderately satisfied with the photo output of my Lexmark Z23. I could see some room for improvement so I decided to buy a photo quality printer. I agonized for the past two months...looked at every review I could on the internet...visited all the local electronic dealers....even ran into several manufacturer reps at these stores. At the end of the day, I was confused with all the claims and counter-claims...I vacilated among Canon, HP and Epson and could not make up my mind. I finally decided to go with the HP 960Cse because I have always used them at work and they have been reliable workhorses. I have had this printer for a week now and am EXTREMELY satisifed with the photo results. I am using the HP glossy 4x6 and their 11.5 x 8 photo paper with the matte finish. The text quality,of course,is superb. I should have known after all these years using HP printers without any problems (I probably use a ream of paper a week)that this was a good choice for my photo needs as well.

This is an amazingly precise printer, producing remarkably clear photos. Beisdes the great quality of its printing, the DeskJet 960cse is remarkably fast. With an output of 15 pages per minute, printing long documents is a pleasure.

The quality on plain paper is outstanding. The output on photo glossy was WOW! HP has done an outstanding job in making this printer very user friendly. It was very easy to set up and get going on my Mac.
