HP 2605 Printer Review

As its name suggests, the HP Photosmart 2605 is a multifunction inkjet printer designed with the photographer or enthusiast in mind. It comes with memory card slots and software to make editing and printing photos easier, even without a computer, and its affordable price and compact design make it well-suited for home and small office users. Saving on printer ink is easy with the low cost of HP 2605 ink.

The unit has the ability to print, fax, scan and copy. With so much functionality, its low price is surprising. The numerous photo-centric features are perhaps the most impressive, however. It includes a number of memory card slots which provide support for nearly every format on the market. This makes it easy to get photos from a camera to the machine very easily. Users can also connect a camera directly to the PictBride-enabled USB port.

Print speed is very fast, at up to 20 pages per minute in color and 30 pages per minute in black. HP claims the machine provides "laser-quality" black prints, and while they may not be quite up to the quality of a very good laser model, they are certainly sharp and impressive. The 4800 dpi optimized resolution gives great results.

While inkjet models give the best photo quality in general, the cost of printer ink is always a concern. HP 2605 ink cartridges are very affordable, and the Photosmart 2605 ink cartridges are available in different capacities for a better cost per page. This allows buyers to better control the cost of Photosmart 2605 ink to suit their budget.

For home and small office users, the HP 2605 provides a great combination of serious functionality and nice extras. Its compact size makes it an easy fit, and inexpensive HP 2605 ink keeps running costs low, which will be great news for those on a small budget.
