HP debuts new inkjet technology and printers
Consumer/SOHO models
In terms of versatility, the US$149 C5380 and US$199 C6380 also edge out the D5460 with added copy and scan functions. The above US$50 difference will even earn you extensive connectivity ranging from high-speed USB 2.0 and Ethernet to Wi-Fi and optional Bluetooth. If you need something similar for less, there's the US$139 Photosmart C4580 All-In-One that's capable of going wireless at the expense of slower printing speed.
Furthermore, some of the universal features across the entire Photosmart inkjet series include onboard color screen and memory card reader for direct photo editing and printing. Software-wise, all these models are compatible with Windows XP/Vista as well as Mac OS X and are bundled with a productivity suite. The latter includes Photosmart Essential for easy photo management and Smart Web Printing to merge multiple Web site pages.
