All the best printer used in our office to date. Love the size, quietness, quality, 13x19 paper (HP Q1967A but on the business store, not home store), HP's ink online, speed, clean out jam ability, and 4 separate inks. Oh, wished the cancel worked better, have had it print 200 sheets of jibberish when cancelled...just let it print the job you send. Buy this printer, it is a wonder machine for the price and ink lasts a long time.

I have been a graphic designer for 15 years, and currently provide marketing services for many local businesses. I use this printer in the office as well as my home studio - provides great proofing capabilities and has been great for creating short run projects for clients. I have been an HP customer for years and this model definately took my expectations to the next level. Great ease of use, connectivity and reliability. Beyond that I have flexibilty in stock choices and sizes - putting me exactly where I need to be in my market. A true workhorse! Thank you HP for another great product without breaking my budget. I would recommend this model to anyone that wants a great printer packed full of relevant features.

I evaluated all the large format inkjet printers available and decided on the K850DN. There are several large format printers on the market, but I noticed no appreciable difference in print quality, the others cost more and have fewer features. One major feature I really like is the integrated networking, it saved the cost and hassle of adding an outboard print server or slave it to a computer to share it on my network. Being able to configure and control the printer through the printer's built in web interface, rather than use the software app, is a bonus. The print quality is excellent, my clients are always impressed when I put my 11 x 17 materials down on the conference table. I have a wire-binding machine and making large format bound presentation books is impressive and separates me from the crowd. I judge companies by how they respond to problems. Anyone can say they are committed to customer service, the test is how they react when you take them up on it. I am pleased to report that HP scored well in that regard. I bought my printer from HP directly, online. I am pretty skilled in hardware and networking but was unable to get the first printer I received to boot up. After having an online session with a tier one tech support person, asking if there were any tech notes that would explain my symptoms I concluded it was a hardware problem. I contacted HP for a RMA to return the printer. I originally intended to get a refund. After speaking with the rep, he convinced me to allow him to ship me a replacement printer immediately and arranged for the dead one to be picked up. Everything went as planned, the second printer arrived on my porch the next day (before the first one was even picked up), was flawless and has never ever had a single problem. In short, I am satisfied with the product and I have no regrets.

I publish books and needed a good quality printer that would handle wide paper and print well on cover stock. The K850 does the job exceptionally well. The software offers many options for printing, which is exactly what I needed. If you want a good color printer that utilizes wide and long paper, I can highly reccomend this one.

Excellent printer. HP products are the best I have ever used. The wide carriage on this machine makes it particularly useful.
