    CNET Review

    June 4, 2008

    The Good: Pleasing color and text prints; dual paper feed trays; best in class Wi-Fi set up; Bluetooth connectivity; direct archiving with built-in LightScribe DVD drive.

    The Bad: Lacks auto-document feeder and fax machine; expensive; very slow prints; grayscale scans lack definition.

    The Bottom Line: The C8180 multifunctional printer is an excellent choice for photo enthusiasts. It prints high-quality text and photos at a heavy price: the printer is s...l...o...w. If you always choose quality over speed, the c8180 will be a worthwhile addition to your digital toolshed.
