HP 980Cxi Ink
Deskjet 980Cxi Ink Cartridges

If a dedicated inkjet printer with the ability to produce professional black-and-white text documents as well as vivid graphics and images in full color is the ideal unit for a particular office, whether in a home or a company, the HP Deskjet 980Cxi is certainly worth looking into. This machine offers standard built-in features and basic functionality that keep it reliable and affordable. Connected via USB and Parallel port, the 980Cxi is compatible with all operating systems.

In a step up from other machines in the same series, this unit has a built-in memory of 8 MB and automatic duplex printing. The input tray holds 150 sheets of standard paper, though specialty media types are also accepted, and the curved paper path reduces the amount of space consumed by the 980Cxi. In fact, the entire frame only measures about 17x17x7 inches and has a light weight of 15 pounds, even with both HP 980Cxi ink cartridges installed.

The system many inkjet printers use includes one black and one tricolor Deskjet 980Cxi ink cartridge. Tricolor consists of cyan, magenta and yellow HP 980Cxi ink, which can generate up to 450 prints and render a resolution of 2400x1200 dpi. The black Deskjet 980Cxi ink will yield up to 830 pages before replacements will be needed. Printer ink can be found online from many certified resellers and some third party sites offer compatible HP 980Cxi ink.

The processor inside of this machine is 96 MHz, which fuels a maximum output rate of 15 pages per minute for black-and-white documents and 12 pages per minute in full color. The HP PhotoREt III enhancement software plays a part in the slow speed, but also is responsible for the high quality of prints. Overall, the HP 980Cxi is an easy-to-use, reliable inkjet printer that will be a good match for offices that demand quality.
