DO NOT BUY!!! 2008-08-05
i am always hesitant to tell people not to buy. I have bought some junk over the years ans shrugged it off, but this is just the worst! The paper doesnt load AT ALL from anywhere. Sure, after about ten attempts and five chewed pieces of paper later it will print but even at that it sometimes only half prints. Now some people who have bought this item find this situation laughable, and I aks them, why has more than one person, infact, why has a bunch of people had same issues? Indeed, it is a recognised universal problem with the designjet130. basically for the price they suck.

Second - even when you do get a so called awesome print, it leaves track marks and here is why. Some nutcase decided to design this printer with JAGGED EDGED METAL ROLLERS!!!!!! I mean wtf????? Especially on large pics, when using lots of black or dark backgrounds, the track marks just shine through and as for glossy photos - just forget it. ALSOOOOO - when using front loading, more often than not a horrble wheel mark from the rubber rollers are present from its harsh loading system. It basically pummels light paper and chews heavyweight paper. And by the way, thats even when you select the desired kind of paper before printing.

Seriously, i have no doubts some people have no problems, but I am highlighting this because enough people have had similar issues as i have to give this information some credibility. HP needs to have a look at this printer and make some adjustments - this is just terrible, i have had to close my online shop which i have lost out on because of this printer. I will not be using hp again - thats for sure!

DO NOT BUY (and by the way, i got my printer from amazon!)
Load printer from the FRONT... 2008-07-28
I can tell from some of the reviews that some people are attempting to load manually from the back...If you don't have the automatic roll feeder you're MUCH better off loading all paper from the FRONT...With this printer and my old HP 100 wide format I probably have around 5% that kickback...Maybe half of those are non square edges and the rest user error while feeding...Someone stated they tried 8 times with no luck is outright laughable..

Also consider buying a CIS (continuous ink supply) to majorly decrease the ink cost...

So far the auto color match profiling works great and it's value can't be over emphasized...Especially is one uses multiple papers or canvas...

For the money there isn't a better 24" wide format printer out there...No doubt there is a slight learning curve and reading the manual completely is a must...It's obvious from some of the reviews that a few haven't read it...

I owned a HP 100 wide format before this one...The extra 2 colors and the auto color match profiling make the HP 130 a no brainer over the HP 100, 110 and/or HP 120...Not too mention the increase available resolution of 2400x1200...

Bottom line if you do a considerable amount of large prints and don't mind spending a little time to learn this printer, you'll be more than pleasantly surprised...

PIECE OF CRAP!!!!! DON'T BUY IT 2008-06-22
Well like may Graphic Artist I wanted to produce layout s in large
format. I have always heard how good HP was and how easy it was to use so I figured that me next printer should be the king of printers.
I can't tell you how upsetting this piece of crap is.
It is so picky that you need to load the paper just the right way for it to grip it and if you don't it will keep kicking it back out to you over and over again. I must have done this 8 times before I just wanted to beat the living hell out of it. Oh but it gets better, this thing is so stupid that it does NOT calibrate the colors on its own. It takes you to a website and you have to have HP do it for you. It still didn't print sharp. And get this I try to call their customer service for support and they charge .69 min. Where do these jerks selling crappy printers get off charging for customer service????
My god save your money and just print your stuff at Kinko's or a small needing printing company.
HP is a crap brand!
great printer, no problems 2008-06-09
I've had this printer (with attached roll feeder) since Nov 07 and it has caused no problems for me. Since then I have printed around 175 or so large format colour images. Setup was a breeze, no problems with the changeover from XP to Vista, and all in all a great machine.
Great printer - a bit tricky to learn 2008-04-02
I've been printing large format glicees with this printer and it works great. But I was a little disappointed to learn that it can't do borderless printing on large paper. In order to print a borderless 18 x 24 image, I had to use 24 x 26" paper, so there is some waste involved. Also, you have to feed big sheets through the back of the printer, which is a little tricky because you've got to line it up perfectly or it will spit it back out. It took me a whole day to get a good feel for doing that. Overall, I'm very happy with this printer. The images it creates are spectacular! It's worth learning if you want to print crystal clear images on large paper.
