Advantages: Easy to install, great printing inc photos, speedy, easy to use
Disadvantages: Noisy! Cartridges are expensive.

We were given our Lexmark z65 when my dad replaced it with a super duper printer, and so far in 18months we have had no problems with it. The Look. The printer is about 17" long (43cm) 11" deep (28cm) and 9" high (23cm). It is grey and beige in colour. The Price. We didn't pay for ours but you can buy them for around £40 - £50 probaby less if you hunt around. The Setup. Easy. Plug and Play on a USB cable. Literally plug it in and it does all ...
...in about 10 minutes! Hurrah! Cartridges. Cartridges are expensive, £28 each. That is ridiculous when you consider the price of the machine itself. But, our cartridges have lasted us for the 18 months that we have had it, because we are relatively light users. We sometimes print photos and I do a reasonable amount of black text printing, and therefore our black ran out way before our colour cartridge. The problem with the colour cartridge is that ...

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. ... Read review

Advantages: Printer quality will lost for many many years
Disadvantages: please check my Drawbacks list with this printer:

I had brought this printer particularly to print my beautiful photos. Based on my experience the photos quality is simply superb. I have stuck few A3 size (bigger scenery photos) photos on my room walls without any laminations, already few months ago and I'm cleaning dust with cloth once in a while but still the photo print quality is very good, not seen even small shading on the print. I never had seen this kind of print quality in my life time. ...
...Drawbacks with this printer: • It takes hell a lot of time to initialize the printer (minimum 15 to 20 minutes) by this time your 5 to 10% of ink cartridge will become empty. • It consumes too much of ink and ink bags are sky high price. • After a few months the whole printer with full of aerosol ( full of ink) • Printing time is very very….slow • Very bad paper skew happens once in a while (particularly when you print ...

Advantages: Good quality, elegant, fast
Disadvantages: expesive maintenance

This is a very good products with both pros and cons. The design structure of the printer is very aesthetic and eyecatching. The presence of a five in one card reader is of great assistance. Not only in the process of printing straight out of the memory chip but also in connecting such memory chips to the computer. As the name suggests this printer is primarily designed for the use as a photo printer and it does its job absolutely well. The print ...
...as well. A lot of ink is wasted during the printing process and the cost of the cartridges are very and refilling is equally expensive. The capacity of the basic cartridges that come with the printer is very limited. Another issue common to most inkjet printers is that the ink solidifies when the printer is not used commonly. But I'd clearly recommend this product to anyone who wishes for a worthy colour printer. ... Read review
