HP OfficeJet Pro K5400
The HP OfficeJet Pro K5400 is a low cost, colour, inkjet, printer. It is aimed at small businesses and is a pretty basic printer. If you need to scan or copy then this is not for you but it will produce low cost prints. I used this printer when i printed some ICT coursework from my teachers office. The text sheets came out well and with reasonable speed. Next was a powerpoint presentation in handout form. This was a colur print. It came out in good quality and took a second or two longer than the text sheet. I was happy with both sheets so far. Finally, i had a photo to print. (This wasn't for work but it was a cool Iron Maiden photo that i wanted to stick on my wall) The photo took longer again to print and when it finally came out, the quality had let it down. Slightly smudged and generally tacky. I was disapointed that i had used this printer and not another. However, the actual work did come out well so i can't complain. There is a single paper tray that sticks out from the front of the printer. This has the 250 sheet input tray and the output tray in it. The output tray has an adjustable arm, so that if you pull it out, you can prevent long prints falling to the ground. The K5400dn is the upgrade of the K5400 and the downgraded version of the K5400dtn. The benefits of th K5400dn is that you can have ouble sided printing and built-in networking.
Printing costs
HP sells standard and high capacity tanks. The standard have less ink in them and so they cost more per copy to print.
Black and white - Standard 820 page - £12 (Exc VAT) High Capacity 2,350 page - £20 (Exc VAT)
Colour - Standard 620 page - £8 (Exc VAT) High capacity 1,200 page - £14 (Exc VAT)
This works out at 1.46p for standard black (0.85p with high capacity) and 5.33p for a colour page (4.45 for high capacity)
Technical information
With Laser quality speeds up to 12ppm black/10ppm colour. Draft Speeds up to 36ppm black/35ppm colour. Boxed-product weight: 8kg Product dimensions: 10kg
Summary
This is a good printer if you are looking for something cheap. Although it is made for small to medium businesses, it would be a useful home printer. However, if you are looking to print photos then this is not the printer for you. The quality just isn't good enough. Not quite. I would reccomend this to anyone who prints a lot as you can get the high capacity ink tanks and cheap printing.
You can buy it from amazon for £124 both from amazon and the "Used and new" section. If you but it from amazon then there is an optional 3 year electrical appliance cover for £27.99

Advantages: cost effective, high volume printing for small office Disadvantages: Problem when trying to print double sided (duplexing)
Unfortunately, the HP OfficeJet Pro K5400dn printer features looked good on the website and I fell for it!
I ordered 2 HP OfficeJet Pro K5400dn printers for work. After setting up the first one, and testing it, it kept chewing up the paper as the print carriage was catching it when using double sided printing (duplexing), so sent it back and got a replacement.
The second one seemed to work fine except for the odd chewing of paper when double sided, ... ...so sent this back also.
The first replacement worked fine for the most part for about 4 weeks and then starting chewing again so sent it back with the second replacement which I didn't bother taking out of the box.
This is why I would not recommend this printer at all. ...
