HP 895 Printer Review

HP is known for making great products that not only aid in the development of businesses and individuals, but also provide a more efficient means for getting information or completing tasks. This manufacturer makes various kinds of printers, some that use toner and some that use printer ink. The HP Deskjet 895 is an inkjet printer. Most businesses and homes will find it to be a great addition to the office, and thanks to its networking capabilities, multiple PCs can be connected at once.

There are parallel ports, USB ports and Jetdirect cards for ethernet and networking. The multiple connectivity options increase the speed of transferring images. Speaking of speed, 10 pages per minute can be printed using black HP 895 ink. Only 6 pages per minute can be produced when using the color tank. The color Deskjet 895 ink cartridge contains cyan, magenta and yellow printer ink.

When it comes to printing, there are few things more important than quality, and high quality lies in the resolutions. The black HP 895 ink can reach a maximum resolution of 600x600 dpi while the color can get up to 300x300 dpi. These numbers are decent, though more current models can more than triple them.

The black and color HP 895 ink cartridges have page yields of 830 and 620, respectively. For normal printing, these tanks will last quite a while. However, if the 3,000 page monthly duty cycle is reached by the user regularly, replacement HP 895 ink will need to be purchased weekly. This can start to get expensive and eventually will cost more than the inkjet printer itself.

The built in 2 MB will hold many saved documents and images, and the indicator light will frequently provide status updates to users. For the most part, the HP Deskjet 895 is a good buy.
