My other Deskjet printer!

Advantages: Smart-looking, quiet, dependable
Disadvantages: Some anomalies (see review)

...Having reviewed my Hp Deskjet 845c printer the other day, I thought I might as well review my other printer- an HP Deskjet 930C, which I believe is a more recent model, although we've had it a while longer than the 845c. Again, it cost around £100 or so. Firstly, everything general I said about inkjet printers in my review for the 845c still holds true, so please see that review for those details. Instead I just want to concentrate on the differences between the two models and my experience with the 930c. I have to say that overall, it isn't quite as good. The paper tray is slightly flimsy and seems to come loose easily. The control buttons on the front are also not quite as intuitive although they really ought to be. That said, there are plenty of plusses to this printer- it is quiet, mostly reliable and the print quality is...

HP Deskjet 845c Printer

Advantages: Compact, easy to install, good quality
Disadvantages: A bit fussy about some print cartridges

...An inkjet printer is a compact and I would say essential addition to any home computer setup, and HP make, in my experience, the best home and home office inkjet printers. As you may or may not know, unlike laser printers which work by effectively burning an image of the data to be printed onto the paper (usually by means of a "fuser unit"), inkjet printers work by spraying ink directly onto the paper through a specialised nozzle which paints the data as it goes along. Inkjet printers are generally much cheaper than laser printers and more suitable for home use. The HP Deskjet 845c is a typical HP (Hewlett-Packard) inkjet printer. It is light, has an attractive shape and simple light grey colour, is easy to install and fairly cheap to buy (ours was in the region of £100). It will print sizes of paper up to and including A4 (you can...

ALL IN ONE PRINTER FOR £14.03 - BARGAIN

Advantages: EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY
Disadvantages: NONE THAT I CAN THINK OF

... HP F4272 ALL IN ONE PRINTER After a long time, my son persuaded me that he needed a new printer for his computer for him to be able to do his homework and school essays. Up until now this involved him saving his work on a pen drive, then coming up to my computer to print up his work. After deciding to bite the bullet, we did a little bit of research, and decided that an all in one printer would be ideal, and after searching the internet, decided on a HP F4272 all in one printer which we obtained from the Argos Catalogue. WHY DID WE CHOOSE ARGOS? The price of this printer from Argos was £59.99, but they were doing a special deal whereby they were also offering the following for free if you purchased the printer:- An additional HP 300 black ink cartridge (the printer already came with one) ? Argos sell these...

Review of HP DESKJET F4272 ALL IN ONE PRINTER

HP Deskjet F380 - great printer for the price!

Advantages: Compact, everything you need in one cheap bundle, fast printing
Disadvantages: Fiddly software, no LCD screen, no SD/xD card input

...This is a compact, fast and very easy to use printer/scanner/photocopier that I bought for £30. For that money, I feel it is a bargain. I am currently using this printer at University, where it a gets regular work out from the printing out of lecture slides and courseworks. The many good points include the fast, clear printing of word documents, which is what I mainly use it for. It also prints pictures at a good quality, but nothing spectacular. It is amazingly easy to use, with only a few buttons on the top panel which cover scanning and photocopying. Ink cartridges are easy to change too, this printer taking 21 Black/22 Colour cartridges. Obviously, the main plus point of this printer is the ability for it to print, scan and photocopy all in one compact unit. This has proved to be essential to me, and I now wouldn't ever buy...

Review of Hewlett-Packard Deskjet F380

HP Deskjet 660C Printer

Advantages: Excellent HP backup service and warranty
Disadvantages: expensive ink cartridges

...I bought my 660C Deskjet printer when they first appeared - it must be over 5 years ago. Colour printing quality is excellent (including photographs), and text printing is acceptably fast. Included in the price at the time I bought it was a 3 year warranty. I have given the printer quite a hard time and although I have had a few problems I have found the HP warranty to be excellent - especially as it was included int he cost of the printer! The print cartridges are quite expensive, so for a while I tried a refill kit - just for the black cartridge. This worked fine for text, but the quality of colour printing, where the black is mixed with the tri-colour inks was unacceptable. Dark images were a muddy brown instead of the clean black from the genuine HP cartridges. After heavy use I started to get black streaks on the paper...

HP Deskjet D4260 - Photosmart, Smart Printer!

Advantages: Easy to use, great speed and quality.
Disadvantages: No connection cable supplied!

...I bought this printer to use at university for printing up documents and essays for class, but at £59.99 it is a costly printer just to do that! The printer is supplied with a small amount of 'photo paper' which used to print photos on gives a quality just like that in Jessops or any other photo printers. The print speed is excellent, up to 30 sheets per minute in black/white and 22 in colour and the colour quality of the printer is superb. The printer is very stylish and does not take up much room on the desk or where ever you choose to put it. Instalation was exceptionally easy, just plug it in, insert the installation disc and follow the step-by-step instructions on screen. The face of the printer is very easy to understand too. Simple icons indercate when paper or ink is running low, and there is a USB slot on the front...

HP DESKJET 930C or best printer

Advantages: see write
Disadvantages: see write

...In addition to my laser printer of Canon, I have employed this ink jet printer for a year approx. from Hewlett Packard. Optical maser color printers in recent years became more favorable indeed, however, are non-afford (ex 3.000 marks) for standard measure mortal still. There is generally a very positive evolution at the ink jet printers. After one comments at the beginning mocking while showing his ink jet expression still often as "aha, inks shine, that sees man" would harvest, can itself the quality of new generation of ink jet printers as a rule more than are able be seen. Around it also have I my initially abysmal aversion to inks shine overcome and me the HP 930 C of train hotted up. Enough of the pre-speech.

Review of HP Deskjet 930c

Deskjet 950c - good printer for the price!

Advantages: Cheap cartridges available, Quick, reliable, copes with heavy paper, usb interface
Disadvantages: software needs to be downloaded, cartridge doesnt last very long

...Even after several years, this printer is still going very strong for me. the ink is cheap (if you get remanufactured cartridges - the hp ones are really expensive) works well over usb, quite quick at printing. you can get software for it (from the hewlett packard website) which allows you to know how much ink is left. Can also cope with quite a few types of paper (even the heaviest ones, i use fujifilm 270gsm paper and it copes very well with it), it also comes with a special slot for putting envelopes in to print on them. One bad thing is that the colour cartridge lasts only about 50 a4 pages for me. Very good for the price that you can get it for now, cheap cartridges, quick printing. good printer....

laser printer

Advantages: laser printer
Disadvantages: bit dark on photos

...…………………………̷ 0;….................................................................. ................. Using a laser printer instead of a normal standard injet printer is great, there a lot faster than normal inkjet printers, there a lot more reliable and can carry on printing for ages without you worrying whether the things going to blow up or over heat or not. But most importantly of all, they have such better print quality, the ink stands out amongst the page which is what gives you that shiny ink and picture pages and it makes documents and pictures not only look great quality, but very professional too. This is why companies use them, so that their printed documents look a lot more professional, however all this does come at a price. These are known as office...

Give your printer a proper clean

Disadvantages: None

... Fargo Printer Cleaning Kit The Fargo printer cleaning kit is designed for Fargo printers. Fargo printers are printers that are designed to print on plastic cards, using a ribbon.

It is important therefore to periodically clean your printer using a Fargo cleaning kit. The whole procedure will take you less than ten minutes and will have your printer back to life again as good as new in no time at all. In the box In the box are the following: * 4 Printhead Cleaning Swabs - these are moistened with 99.99% isopropyl alcohol and should be used for cleaning the printhead inside the printer. * 10...
