Amazon.com Review
One of the first things you'll notice about the Apollo APO P2250-101 ink-jet printer is its clean, curvaceous lines. In soft gray and transparent aqua, it could be a great-looking addition to either your teenager's room or your own "iMac-style" décor. In addition to looking great, this sleek printer capably delivers the goods.

In our tests, we found that Apollo APO P2250-101 provided extremely high-quality printing. Using a two-carriage system, it produced 3 ppm of strong, vibrantly colored prints at 300 x 300 dpi resolution, and up to 6 ppm of rich black prints at 600 x 600 dpi.

The color and black ink cartridges snap into place easily, with no risk of mess or mistake, and you can replace the black cartridge with an optional photo cartridge for terrific photos. The Apollo comes with a 100-sheet capacity input tray that accepts a wide range of standard papers, envelopes, and specialty media including photo paper, premium papers, greeting cards, transparency films, labels, envelopes, and post cards. We tried printing big bold fonts and were rewarded by rich, black, deep coverage (given a chance to dry).

We also used the PostMaster Gold software to create our own series of brilliantly colored greeting cards, and then printed coordinating envelopes. With the quality it demonstrated, the Apollo also seemed a natural for printing projects like school reports, family newsletters, broadsides, or even professional displays. We also loved the speedy setup, and were impressed by the Apollo's plug-and-play efficiency. A clear and thoroughly detailed foldout guide walked us through all the necessary steps to get it running. It is also easy to consult the online user's guide if you have any questions.

On the downside, the Apollo's operating noise was a little louder than we liked and was exacerbated by the echo of the cartridge under the cavernous cover. Further, the hollow sound we heard when we tapped on the body made us question the Apollo's build quality, though in our tests there was no sign of breakage.

The APO P2250-101 comes packaged with an online manual, user's guide, and quick tips to take you step by step through the setup process. It also comes with the FireWire-compliant parallel cable to connect to your PC, and black and color ink cartridges. The optional photo cartridge must be purchased separately.

The Apollo APO P2250 comes with a one-year warranty and 90 days of phone support. --David Greenberger

4 out of 5 stars Works for me!!!!!.......2002-09-16

I actually have a P2200 inkjet by Apollo, a close cousin this printer. I have found it work reliably and consistantly. Just what this colloege student needs. The best part was, is that it was affordable. Keep up the good work Apollo.

1 out of 5 stars Very disappointed.......2002-02-23

One and one half years old and only prints black. When I set it up the test page had color.I only printed letters and didn't know
it dosen't print color until a few days ago. Informton and help
seem non existence. Few stores stock a black cartridge.

4 out of 5 stars Great Quality Printing.......2002-02-13

The quality of this printer is phenomenal, I was truly impressed. The only downfall is the 6ppm, I am used to faster printers than that. This has been my absolute favorite printer.

3 out of 5 stars Apollo P-2650P.......2002-01-10

This is a newer version of the 2250. The specs appear to be the same, but the paper tray seems to be improved. When first set up, it worked fine. But two days later, it refused to print. After several self-tests and an e-mail to Apollo customer support (who replied within 3 hours!), it turns out that the parallel cable that came supplied with the printer was defective. Text documents print fine, and I'd have no problem submitting a resume printed on the "best" setting, but photos or maps just don't have the sharpness and color clarity of the HP 932 I use at work. Apollo offers the option of using the HP C1816 photo cartridge for better clarity, but I haven't given it a try yet. If you're in need of high quality color photos or graphics, I'd spend more. The noise and clunkiness are still there, but considering the price, this one will do nicely for now.

5 out of 5 stars rating of the apollo printer.......2001-01-11

I bought the first one that came out on the market about 3 years ago and it is still going strong I find changing the cartridges out much more easier than the other printers. I am very interested in buying another one ... .
