Don't plan on printing black and white...
|
I've owned many HP printers in my lifetime and they're the only brand I've recommended for years, however this printer has changed my opinion of HP so drastically that I may never purchase another HP printer again.
When printing color, this printer does great and I like that it's got separate color cartridges so that you don't have to replace the entire rainbow when one color runs out, however this printer has a serious flaw...
When printing black and white, it continues to burn through color cartridges. I estimate that for every 30 BLACK ONLY pages (no, I'm not kidding here) I end up replacing one of the color cartridges. I've called HP, I've chatted with online support... the only thing they tell me is that I must not have "black only" selected under my quality options, but I do. I've spent over $100 on color cartridges even though I use this printer to print black and white primarily and I've finally decided that I could have bought a cheap laser printer by now for the cost of the ink that has literally gone to waste.
I even resorted to saving my cartridges thinking that surely it isn't actually USING the ink in these color cartridges, and that maybe it's just a software malfunction in calculating remaining ink? Nope, that doesn't work either... when you see the message "Replace yellow because it's low" and then you toss in your old yellow cartridge that mysteriously ran out even though you hadn't printed a single color document since it had been installed, you get a new message: "Replace yellow cartridge because it is beyond it's expiration date" ... what's in this cartridge that makes it expire in 6 months, milk??
Save your money, stay away. |
