HP 1050 Ink
Deskjet 1050 Ink Cartridges

The HP Deskjet 1050 is a popular color inkjet unit among household users. This isn't your standard printer, because it can scan and copy too. With speeds of up to 16 pages per minute using black HP 1050 ink, it certainly isn't the fastest machine on the market, but for most home users speed isn't much of a problem. For those with patience, the color speeds of 12 pages per minute won't be a problem either. Able to print on brochure paper, inkjet paper, plain paper, envelopes, labels, greeting cards, photo paper and transparencies, users will find a great deal of versatility in the 1050. It is Mac and Windows compatible, and connection is offered via USB. When using the Deskjet 1050 ink cartridges, resolutions as high as 4800x1200 dpi can be reached. The only downside is that HP ePrint isn't offered like it is with newer HP models.

All around there are more positive reviews than negative ones. Buyers generally find that it is a great deal for a low upfront price, and most have said that setting it up is simple too. Most find that it is just as easy to use as it is to install too. The quality of printed documents is always great, according to reviews, and the model doesn't make a lot of noise either. The one complaint with the 1050 seems to be the same as most machines—people complain about the price tag on the HP 1050 ink cartridges.

What a lot of the population doesn't know is that remanufactured printer ink can be purchased from third party vendors, like Deskjet 1050 ink. The remanufactured tanks of HP 1050 ink will work just as well as the OEM version, but they will cost dramatically less. For anyone wanting to save money on inkjet tanks, remanufactured replacements are the best way to go.
