 The Photosmart printer DOES use black ink as one of the six 'colors' it uses to print 
with.  Yes, it would be extremely expensive to use it for text on a day to day 
basis.  It is made to primarily to print photographs along with a small amount of text 
for notecards, calendars, etc.  Very nice output on glossy Photosmart paper.  
It also makes nice prints on the Matte Photosmart paper.  I have no experience with the 
other printers you mentioned.  I bought the Photosmart scanner and 
printer for photographic use only.  My old Deskjet 500C is for day to day text hardcopy.
