Would this work well for printing detailed maps? If so, which quality of print settings, low, medium or high?

Personally I have not tried to print detailed maps, but I have printed some pretty detailes pictures and they always turn out great. I use Medium to high quality for prining pictures.

It prints like regular paper, both sides even. I printed OS maps for archaeological purposes with high print settings on both sides of the paper.

Sure, it will print just fine. Just make sure your margins are correctly set in the document so the print area does not cover the hole area.

Yes ...works fine for me :) make sure you change your printer preferences before hitting print.

I print directly from my computer or from the chip in my camera and it prints very nice 4 x 6 prints. It should work just fine depending on how and what you hook it up to and how fast you want them printed.. Be safe and do a trial run :)

I have printed out a few pictures and the results are good. I did however adjust the color etc with Photoshop before printing. I also used photo quality 4x6 paper.

It would work fine, but the cost of ink would probably outweigh the benefit of the fast printing. Ink tanks are small. I would recommend you print postcards at: (cheap, fast, and good quality):http://www.psprint.com/affiliate/index.asp?offer=219&affiliate;=CD1751

I have to agree with A. Geib I bumped up the phyical memory, used quality paper printed at the highest resolution and got very good resultsIt is abit slow on the first thing printing and sounds like a jet when I turn it on, but it was worth the money so far, I also have a Brotherat work and its a workhorse.I've used HP's Lexmark, Cannon, Epson it compares to them all, the interesting thing for me is watching the sell price move up and downI may start tracking it for fun.

I have not used this printer for photos, I have a photo centric printer for that duty. For printing presentations and general output, the color output looks great, accurate and bright, never blotchy or streaky.

Does very well with 4x5 film but you need to use at least 1200 dpi resoliution and the result will be a large file. Scale at 100%. The default is 400%

The scan is adequate for my purposes at 300 dpi. It is not photo scanner quality. The print quality is excellent and scanning is quick via automatic document feeder, either one -sided or 2-sided.Ray

Like any printer it depends on your usage. I've found that 'regular' printing has been very reasonable.High res photo printing on 'best' setting used more than my last printer but the result was worth it.All in all I recommend getting the printer.

Cannot answer large print job question - we generally print smaller PDFs - under 1M

I am very happy with this printer. When they refer to subpar for photo and graphics, they are comparing it to ink jet quality especially for photos. For general use and office it is very acceptable. The average person will be quite satisfied.this is not meant for professional graphics use. I recommend you go to a retail store and check out some sample print outs. That's the only way to know for sure. All I can say is that I am quite satisfied.

My experience with plotters and printing photos is that you have to check to make sure your settings are correct (i.e. set for hi-gloss photo paper AND you're using hi-gloss photo paper and not semi-gloss photo paper)....and make sure the paper brands match the printer/plotter that you're using (i.e. HP paper for HP printer).Yes, it is that meticulous when you're going for the EXACT results that you want. And make sure the picture is of high resolution. A picture that looks 'OK' at low resolution will look TERRIBLE when blown up as a poster. I've learned from experience, so make sure your settings are good and your pictures are of good quality. :-) My experience with plotters and printing photos is that you have to check to make sure your settings are correct (i.e. set for hi-gloss photo paper AND you're using hi-gloss photo paper and not semi-gloss photo paper)....and make sure the paper brands match the printer/plotter that you're using (i.e. HP paper for HP printer).Yes, it is that meticulous when you're going for the EXACT results that you want.

I use it for printing museum exhibition quality prints, both color and black and white. You can see the individual pores on faces under magnification of the prints, not to mention the individual "peach fuzz" hairs on a child's or woman's cheeks. That's how good it is. It goes far beyond the resolution you seem to require.

I printed a PDF file on photo paper, the results were excellent. I use the printer for pictures; I am very impressed with the quality. Not knowing what illustration and materials you are looking to print, it is hard to say this would be the printer for you.
