The output on the inkjet is slower than toner based systems. but is capable of looking really good, depending on the paper you use. Glossy paper works best, but may not be firm enough to support its own weight on a conductor stand so you have to experiment a bit.
The output is somewhat water soluble (keep it away from the trombone players....)
The product is more expensive per page IF you amortize it over the period of thousands of pages. Maybe you need less than this. If the answer is yes, then it is a good deal. It is all relative to your personal requirements.
When the cost of the printer is about a tenth of the cost of toner based printers, all these factors must be considered. I have several large format inkjet printers as well as an HP 5100 and I use whatever is better suited.

Hello all --
I’ve read some of the printer discussions in the past, and thought I might run this question by you all. Does anyone have/what do you think of the HP Deskjet 9650? I’m looking for a printer that gives as close to laser-quality output as possible (but I by no means do anything that requires archival-quality or publishable stuff) and will print on large-size paper (at least 11x17, although the 9650 brochure says it goes up to 13x19). At the same time, this printer is for use in our home, and my wife and I would like to be able to print out digital photos on it as well.
The HP Deskjet 9650 seems to fulfill both of those needs, and I usually see it on sale for $250 or $300 at the local OfficeMax or Staples. Are there any alarms I should know about, for those of you who have used it? Does anyone have a better product in mind in a similar price range ($350 at the absolute upper-most limit)?
Thanks in advance for anyone’s suggestions.
