| adamadi's Full Review: Hewlett Packard Deskjet 1220cxi InkJet Printer |
First of all, I must say this is a professional printer. If you are a regular home user, don't consider this printer. If you want a smaller version of this same printer, check out the 950c. Read my review of that printer here: http://www.epinions.com/content_24099524228
This printer is quite large but is very well designed. It is also is looks good only adding to the beauty of your desktop space. The pinter has the normal hp feed (Feed from lower tray and print on upper tray) It also has a back feed which gives you a straight paper path allowing you to print on hard surfaces with bending the paper. This is extremely useful and is found on only a couple of inkjet printers.
The cartridge is huge holding lots of ink allowing you alot more pages per cartridge. A colour cartridge lasts for over 25 well sized colour pages (that is, big pictures). Black cartridges last for over 100 pages.
The print quality is very fantastic. Images, when printed on normal paper looks very professional. You have to look very hard to notice that this is an inkjet printer. On glossy paper, the print quality doesn't look home made at all, the quality looks as good as some catalogue prints. Even the black printouts resemble my laser printer. This printer is capable of printing huge 13 x 19 sheets.
The printer is very easy to use, with 3 buttons on the printer (Cancel, Power and Resume/Feed paper) It was also very easy to install, just pop in the USB cable and install the software. I also installed the same printer on a Parallel port and it was just as easy.
The speed on this printer is amazing. Full pictures take about 2 minutes while black and white pages print at 3 pages per minute, that is full text. There is a slight delay in the time it takes for the printer to begin printing.
The HP Printer software is excellent. When you print a document, A preview screen comes up showing you all the pages so you can select to print some pages or all ( Very helpful when printing out web pages because you tend to waste paper when the last page as just one line or the ending of a webpage)
This is a great professional choice, recommended for businesses, art students and other anyone needing to print larger posters without buying expensive thermal colour printers.
