Hewlett Packard Deskjet 6122 InkJet Printer

I run a small business and the HP 6122 has proven to be an outstanding printer. Some months I print at high volume and others I print very little, and this printer performs well.

If you are a quilter, scrapbooker, or general crafter this printer will nicely fit your needs. Need to print on fabric not a problem, just need to make sure that the edges of the fabric are securely adhered to the paper backing. In fact, I make my own fabric printer paper and I never have any trouble with it going through this printer.

I really liked that fact that auto-duplex (print on both sides) was a standard feature on this printer. I wish more printers had that. While not everything I print is duplex, about 80% of what I print is duplex, so that is an important feature for me.

There are four levels of print quality: DRAFT, FAST NORMAL, NORMAL, & BEST.
For most of my printing needs FAST NORMAL does just fine. On the rare occasion that I print photos, BEST produces wonderful pictures. When printing on fabric I use the NORMAL setting.

We held for several years a Holiday Craft Show in our house and we used the 6122 to print all of our invitations, just over 1,000. We also used it to print our posters (24 poster @ 12 pages each), countless flyers, postcards, letters, drawing entry forms, and small signs that we used through out the show. Not to mention our normal everyday paperwork, the print outs that we generated for our artists, and the print outs that we needed for our own records. And the 6122 printed everything beautifully.

I still both HP 6122s and use them quite a bit, but I have since upgraded to HP 1200 printers.
