HP 6540 Printer Review

While the HP Deskjet 6540 inkjet printer can certainly handle basic office printing, the main focus is on great photo prints, and it truly delivers. Its small design makes it well-suited for the home or small office, but its performance is anything but small. Its fast speeds are impressive, and its low price is very appealing. Buyers will save on printer ink costs with its inexpensive Deskjet 6540 ink cartridges as well.

In addition to the base model, the 6540dt adds automatic duplexing, or two-sided printing, which can save on paper costs and extra paper capacity. The 6540xi adds the above, plus network connectivity.

For day-to-day printing, its fast print speeds will keep things efficient and productive. It can print up to 30 pages per minute for black ink and 20 pages per minute for color. Higher-quality settings will take more time but are worth the wait. The unit's maximum printing resolution of 4800 dpi makes photos look great, and it has support for borderless printing in all of the most popular media sizes. The standard paper capacity is 150 sheets, and an optional upgrade can bring it up to 400 sheets, or buyers can purchase the upgraded models directly.

Inkjet models don't have to include expensive printer ink costs. In fact, HP 6540 ink cartridges are some of the most affordable in its class. Deskjet 6540 ink comes in several capacities to keep cost per page lower for buyers who don't mind paying a bit more upfront. Combining the low cost of HP 6540 ink with the paper savings of the duplexing option makes for a very inexpensive printing solution.

With its great photo features and solid performance, the HP 6540 is a very impressive model. Its compact size and affordable price are geared toward home and small office users, and the savings on HP 6540 ink will keep operating costs low in the long run as well.
