HP 5748 Printer Review

The HP Deskjet 5748 is a personal inkjet printer with nearly-professional photo quality and fast printing speeds all combined into a compact and affordable machine that will be a good fit for a home or small office. A wide variety of media is supported, and inexpensive HP 5748 ink keeps overall printer ink costs low.

The 5748 is one of the lightest models in its class, weighing only 5.1 pounds. It measures 17.7 inches by 18.9 inches by 5.9 inches making a very small footprint as well. Its small size and light weight make it a good choice for a college dorm room where space is tight.

The unit connects to a single computer via USB, so users planning to share it will need to add a print server or look elsewhere. Although the machine's control panel is fairly simple, the included software provides an easy-to-use interface for creating, editing and printing projects as well as access to all necessary options.

Print speed is very fast at up to 23 pages per minute in black and 18 pages per minute in color. The 4800 dpi printing engine produces excellent prints, especially photos, that are on the high end of what is available in consumer models.

Affordable HP 5748 ink cartridges provide a low cost for printer ink that is below average for inkjet models. The cost per page is low as well, partly due to the large capacity of Deskjet 5748 ink cartridges. Buyers may opt for third-party compatible Deskjet 5748 ink for even lower costs.

With its low price and great features, the HP 5748 is an exceptionally good choice for the home or small office. It has the speed and performance necessary for fast-paced work and great photo quality for creative projects. HP 5748 ink is easy on the budget.
