print onto a3

By techno_man_37 (ciao.co.uk) Read the full review

Most printer owners are used to printing onto a4 and smaller sizes of paper, some people might however need a printer that can print onto the large a3 size of paper for whatever needs. I guess if you don't need this feature a lot then this printer is...

Not Bad

By Deanne (pricerunner.co.uk) Read the full review

It has a decent printing speed ; It is inexpensive ; It is sleek and is very good looking - fits in anywhere

The printing quality isnt all that good

Overall, this is a good printer, for normal day to day use. It is easy on the pocket and is ideal for home usage. It is worth a buy.

HP Deskjet 9800d

By Dan Littman (cnet.com)

Review: Until now, you've had to pay a premium for inkjet printers that handle large media sizes, such as tabloid or 13-by-19-inch paper. The $399 HP Deskjet 9800d brings large-format printing to small-size wallets. If you're frustrated by trying to...

Inexpensive for a medium-format printer; supports color-photo and grayscale-photo inks

Prints text very slowly; photo inks cost extra; printing photos requires swapping cartridges

A moderate price and run-of-the-mill performance make the Deskjet 9800d a utilitarian workhorse.

HP Color DeskJet 9800

By Elsa Wenzel (cnet.com)

Review: This personal printer costs $299 and prints up to 13-by-19-inch documents. Pay $100 more to get the 9800d unit with built-in double-sided printing skills. The HP Deskjet 9800 ships with one black ink cartridge and a second cartridge with three...

HP estimates that this machine will print 30 pages per minute (ppm) with black ink and 20ppm using color, and it can produce borderless photos.

HP Deskjet 9800d

By (pcmag.com)

Relatively few printers can handle both tabloid (11 by 17 inches) and supertabloid (slightly larger) sizes, and those that do tend to be expensive. Enter the HP Deskjet 9800 series, which handles these large paper sizes and starts at $299 (direct)—a...

Duplexer. Tabloid- and supertabloid-size printing, with trays for up to 13- by 19-inch paper size. Monthly duty cycle is 5,000 pages

Graphics show moderate banding in default mode. Performance is on the slow side of acceptable. Output quality is midrange for an ink jet

The HP Deskjet 9800d is a business printer at heart, with a duplexer, paper trays for up to 13- by 19-inch paper, and a 5,000-pages-per-month duty cycle.

NVIDIA 9800 GTX+ The plus means better! - Bjorn3D.com

By Gregg Gonsowski (bjorn3d.com)

Keyboards of the past were designed for the same thing typewriter keyboards were, typing. Today's computers, being more powerful and diversified, encompass entertainment and gaming and the need for good gaming and multimedia keyboards has grown with...

As of today the 9800 GTX+ is not available for purchase so this was just a not-so-brief preview of its performance. The G92 core continues to live a healthy life long after most other cores would have been retired. It seems NVIDIA keeps finding new...

Speaking of price points, NVIDIA plans to sell this card at $229 and has it positioned directly against ATI's 4850. It is quite obvious that the 9800 GTX only exists due to the revitalized competition ATI has brought forth. For anyone who thinks...
