HP 3918 Printer Review

The HP Deskjet 3918, with a size of only 5x16x13 inches, is designed to fit in a small space and print black-and-white text documents and full-color photos for personal use. Its media handling system won't add any extra bulk to the overall size of the unit and includes only a single 80-sheet input tray and 50-sheet output tray. With a wide-range of accepted media like index cards, greeting cards, labels transparencies and a number of different photo papers, the 3918 can perform a variety of different tasks.

When printing projects that only require the use of black HP 3918 ink, the inkjet device is able to produce at a rate of up to 16 pages per minute. Full-color Deskjet 3918 ink documents like graphics and images print at a slightly slower rate of approximately 12 pages per minute.

The unit functions with a color printer ink system that incorporates two separate HP 3918 ink cartridges, one tricolor and one black. The Tricolor Deskjet 3918 ink cartridge includes cyan, magenta and yellow printer ink, and is able to last as many as 165 prints before expiring. The black HP 3918 ink has a maximum yield of 190 pages. Users interested in saving money on replacement supplies can purchase compatible brands that are remanufactured and less expensive than genuine forms.
