Ink....Suggestion and a new PRINTER suggestion

Question

We should have other kinds of ink that we can install - for example, for those of us that do Scrapbooking wouldn't it be nice to have NEON ink kits, or Glitter Ink kits, also, if we are a cake decorator, why can we only have two kinds of printers? Why can't their be Edible Ink for all of the printer machines available on the market???
I really think that HP needs to make a Printer that can do a lot more than what just some of them do, for example, people usually work out of their homes these days,  and Graphic Arts, usually need to have the standard CMYK format in their ink, so having that would be great, also just because we are in graphic arts, doesn't mean we don't like to have fun, we should have two paper trays, one that can hold 12x12 regular cardstock paper to print on, and then another tray that can still do 81/2 x11 paper and still a 4x6 photo tray as well.
We should be able to have a Scanner on top, (thats even better than 48bit) but can also be used to print negatives (with a negative slide holder) and also included a autodocument feeder, on top.
The Guts of the machine, we should be able to print, scan, copy, FAX(color and Black and White) be able to connect our camera's and included a Card Reader for all of the standard cards available. (Duplex for those who want to make double sided cards) We should be able to use different types of inks, for different things, like I mentioned above, edible ink, for cake, glitter inks, neon inks, etc... just to be able to have fun with the printer while we are scrapbooking. it should still have the LCD screen where we can crop, zoom, print out index sheet, be able to print out wide screen printer pictures for example panorama feature, and be able to print labels onto our CDs afer we put pictures onto a CD or DVD disk, be able to use things like printing on Tracing Paper, Transparency paper, Vellum Paper, being able to print on to thin metal copper sheets or alumium sheets, be able print on new things to come, giving us the ability to print on whatever type of paper or item we want to print on.  Last the printer shouldn't be any bigger than a Photosmart 3210, print was, and also be able to be upgradeable, (upgradeable in firmware for the printer itself, allowing the printer to do more things than it did when we purchased it, And it shouldn't be anymore than $500.00 total.  These days we want to be able to do anything with out printers, and use all kinds of paper and items to print onto.. (the Cartridges you could make not just ink ones, but you could make one that embosses when it prints, and when we want to do that we change the printer ink cartridge to the embossing cartridge, Basically we want flexability with our printers. We also want them to hold up, and not fail or jam, or stop feeding with printer heads.

Answer 1

I agree completely.
HP has all kinds of different printer software for all kinds of different printers, but most of them do much the same thing.
In fact, the panorama feature seems to have been removed from the Photosmart software.....Premier isnt even available for Vista, I dont think?
But, HP does offer many web pages to do some of the things your talking about here...Programs that run from hp.com.
Edible ink? Nah, I'll pass on that one, but some of your other ideas rock!
