HP's new dye-ink Photosmart

Damian Koh | Sep 27, 2006

We know it's not all about the latest digital cameras showcased at Photokina--printers are part of the equation, too. HP has announced at the biennial tradeshow a new Photosmart inkbox targeted at amateur photographers.

The new Photosmart Pro B8330 (B8350 in North America) uses HP's dye-based Vivera inks, similar to the cartridges on the Photosmart 8450. The Pro B8330 is capable of churning out 30 black printouts per minute, or 20 if you're printing in color. Borderless 4R photos take about 30 seconds each. You can feed the paper from the front, or the rear if you're using thicker media up to 0.3mm.

No word on when it will be available in Asia, though.
