HP 952C Printer Review

There are a lot of wonderful things about the HP Deskjet 952C, but the best thing is its simplicity. A simple, stand-alone inkjet printer with basic features, this unit will satisfy the needs of most people just looking for a standard machine for everyday printing. Small businesses will want to look elsewhere at units with more flare, but the 952C is a perfect fit for home users that only require printing occasionally.

Weighing 15 pounds and measuring 17.34x7.72x14.6 inches, once a location has been found for this machine, moving it will not be an easy task. It is compatible with Windows and Mac, so it will be a match for just about any home and any computer. The 952C comes standard with a 1 year warranty from HP, and it is known for being durable and having high quality printer ink.

HP ColorSmart II software automatically enhances images and graphics, ensuring the final print will be as true to the original as possible. The Deskjet 952C ink is quick-drying and can adhere to various types of paper, such as photo, envelopes, banners, labels and transparencies. The two HP 952C ink cartridges, black and tricolor, have decent page yields, but for consumers who want to use this unit to its fullest capacity of 3,000 pages per month, multiple printer ink replacements will be necessary.

There are multiple vendors online who sell remanufactured and compatible Deskjet 952C ink cartridges, as well as OEM. Even though this unit is available for less than $80, the price of replacing HP 952C ink can become an unwanted expense. High volume printing is better done on a unit designed to handle big jobs, unlike this unit.

The simplicity and bland design may not be appealing to the eye, but certainly are nice on the wallet. As long as the cost of HP 952C ink doesn't get out of control, this inkjet printer is one of the best options for basic printing needs.
