HP 145 Printer Review

If anyone is looking for a fast multi-functioning inkjet printer, the HP OfficeJet 145 is a great choice. With the ability to make copies, send faxes, scan documents and print photos in colors, there are few things this unit cannot do. It is compatible with most major operating systems, and has two HP 145 ink cartridges. One is black and the other is tricolor, which consists of cyan, yellow and magenta printer ink.

The copy machine can produce up to 99 duplicates per original and has a fit-to-page feature. It can zoom up to 400% and can make up to 16 copies per minute using black OfficeJet 145 ink and 15 in color. The scanner uses OCR software to take scanned text and convert it into editable text. It contains a 48-bit internal color depth and a resolution of up to 600x600 dpi.

The fax machine has 10 one-touch speed dials and 130 standard speed dials. It has a memory of up to 100 pages and will automatically redial up to 5 times if the line is busy. It operates at a 6 Kbps transmission speed and can reach a resolution of 300x300 dpi using color HP 145 ink. The black printer ink can reach 200x200 dpi when faxing.

The page yields of these OfficeJet 145 ink cartridges are low, though the monthly page capacity of the unit itself is 5,000 pages. So replacements will be needed frequently depending on how many prints are done per month. HP 145 ink is costly, but compatible and remanufactured options are available from third party vendors.

Printing up to 19 pages per minute in black and 17 in color, this unit is fast. The HP 145 ink can reach a maximum resolution of 2400x1200 dpi while printing. This inkjet unit is versatile as well as efficient.
