I was recently at a workshop in China, where one of the other participants
had brought along her HP Thinkjet printer. I was impressed with its small
size and quiet operation, which are two things I require in a home printer.
(cramped quarters, thin walls, late nights) The print quality was much
better than what I've seen in similar printers (Diaconix Ink Jet, for
instance.) The owner hadn't had it for long, so couldn't help me regarding
reliability, etc. She said that some of the cartridges seemed to have lost
their vacuum seal on the plane ride and had to be discarded. Also there
seemed to be some problem with the cable as sometimes it would appear to
be on-line but nothing happened. Can anyone give me more information about
about the reliability of this printer? I probably would not be travelling
much with it, and do most of my printing at the office.
