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...

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

...a printer without the included scanning/photocopying feature. For this price, it is almost unbeatable, and with HP you know you're buying quality and will get the relevant support if you sign up to help tool when installing the printer. The downsides to this printer include the lack of an LCD screen, which you would find on the more expensive Photosmart models. On top of this, there are no slots to place SD or equivalant cards directly into the printer, which may put some potential buyers off. For me, it has never proved a problem, as I have a card reader with my laptop, and I don't print pictures often enough to warrant extra slots on my printer. Lastly, the software can sometimes be a bit intrusive, particularly if you have software included with your digital cameras etc. However, it does make scanning images and documents easier. I would...

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 F380 increases my Sales

Advantages: Good Printing Results and An Economic One
Disadvantages: -

...When I started my PC-Shop, I used my HP Inkjet 3744. It was a durable one as I had been using it for about 2 years. Day by day doing my activities, I realized that I needed a better printer. Finally I choose HP DeskJet F380 because it comes with several nice features, such as a printer, a copying machine and a scanner. Here I am going to share about it with you in general. Why HP Printers? Though there are various brands of printers in the market nowadays, I still love using HP printers. Before using HP Inkjet 3744, I had ever used some Cannon inkjets. Here I don't mean to say that Cannon inkjets are poorer than Hp inkjets, but I just want to share my experiences of using the printers. Personally I always print software programming manuals which I download from internet. The manuals usually come with illustrations...

HP Deskjet 450

Advantages: good speeds and print quality
Disadvantages: could look better

...This printer has really only one feature, however it’s a good one as it can print onto A3 sizes paper. This could come in handy for anyone who needs to print large documents, maybe to make some kind of large presentation, or someone who needs to print off large, good quality images. I guess if you don’t need this feature a lot then this printer is kind of wasted on you as you wouldn’t use it that much and also its a lot dearer than a normal a4 printer, however if you do want to print off onto a3 size paper and you would use this one a lot, then this printer is a real buy. This printers getting a little old now and although quite expensive of a price around £250 when they first came out you can now pick one up for about £100 new or around £50 second hand so they really have dropped down in price quite a lot. It is...

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.

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...

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...

THE HP PRINTER

Advantages: FAST IN PRINTING AND OF GOOD QUALITY.
Disadvantages: LARGE AND HEAVY.

...This is the type of printer that I will recommend for office use because of its quality and the rate of printing. This is a laser printer and the most of all is that it also prints colour. It has a marvelous colour production that makes the printed issue too original and bright. The HP printer product has been to me the leader in making good printers because I have used some of other printers and find the HP printer the most advanced both in technology, durability and innovations. Well I got In contact with this printer in my office and it has been serving very well in my office hold. So in the over all ratings, I will recommend this for office not only that but for professional use also. The HP printer not only is good on producing good and quality print, it also has sufficient features. It provides high impact printing...

Review of HP Color LaserJet CP1515n

  HP DeskJet 930c Printer, an owners opinion

Advantages: Small footprint, ease of use and reliability
Disadvantages: Cost of running and paper storage

...I've been around for too long and owned or had experience of several makes of printers in the same period including dotmatrix, Bubblejets, Lasers (B/W and colour), most HP's and Lexmark's; each with its own foibles and idiosyncrasies. This particular piece of light grey plastic does me for the job I intended it to do – print in B/W and coloured imagery for internet usage, not for photographic work. It is ‘fit for purpose’ (a quality professional’s saying meaning it will do what it is designed to do). That is the essence of this printer; it will admirable suit home use and some graphical work (at a cost). Anything more demanding like lots of photographic images will make your pocket feel like it’s got a hole in it. Printers are marketed very cleverly these days. The money and profits come from...
