HP D1470 Inkjet Printer.

Advantages: Very cheap, durable, and excellent for the amateur computer user.
Disadvantages: Tray a little too small, and a few issues with packing the tray with paper.

...I bought the D1470 on special offer in Argos several months ago for £19.99, the current price on promotion being £18.74 (as of the 9th February 2008), although my local store is having difficulty getting the item into stock again (the predecessor, D1460 is available on Amazon just shy of £24). Again, home delivery options are apparently limited with the item currently out of stock in their distribution centre, so be prepared to be disappointed. Ebay auctions are available, but you will be looking at between £25 - £29.99. Typical ink cartridge prices (genuine HP) are currently £12.89 in Argos for black, and £16.99 for colour (this printer taking the standard 2 cartridges, not the mixers in other printers). The D1470 is unabashedly marketed as a budget printer, but is, however, an excellent printer for the price, even close to...

Review of HP Deskjet D1470 Inkjet

HP Inkjet 1200d

Advantages: Very fast cheap to run printer
Disadvantages: quite large for home use

...I bought an HP 1200d Printer in April of this year. I chose this printer because the reviews I had read were excellent and I wanted a printer with seperate ink cartridges that were quock and were in my privce range. This printer met all 3 conditions. The print speed of text is very very quick, colour printing is quick but photos are fairly slow however the quaality is excellent. The printer has a built in duplex facility. The 1200d is a little bigger than most ink jets, at 8.3in by 19.9in by 18.3in (HWD). The ink cartridges are separate from the print heads, so you have to install four of each also there are 4 seperate print heads to deal with. HP says each cartridge can manage 1,750 pages. The beauty of seperate cartridges is that if the Cyan runs out you just change the cyan you do not loose the remainder of teh other...

Review of HP Business Inkjet 1200d

HP 364 ink - laser quality from your inkjet printer

Advantages: Excellent quality, vivid colours
Disadvantages: None

...with the original look identical. In some cases, the only way to tell them apart is to look on the back of the photo for any HP logo or any other distinctive feature, the quality is really that good. A problem with inkjet ink is that it has always taken a while to dry, meaning that if you pick up your printout too soon, you leave a nice fingermark or smudge on your photograph which means you either have to live with the consequences or print out another copy, using up extra ink which is not going to prove popular. The HP 364 ink appears to be very fast drying. If you attempt to pick up your newly printed photograph within 10-15 seconds of it dropping into the tray, you will find that it is completely dry and ready to show off to friends and family. Document Printing The standard black printer cartridge is very impressive. As someone who...
