HP 9803 Printer Review

Wide format printing doesn't have to mean a lot of extra bulk. The HP Deskjet 9803 inkjet printer supports up to 13x19-inch paper, but can still sit comfortably on a desk surface. At speeds of 30 ppm for black and 20 ppm for color and a duty cycle of up to 5,000 pages per month, it can handle a decent workload for a busy individual or small office environment. The Vivera HP 9803 printer ink is also fade-resistant for long-lasting prints.

Excellent paper handling is one of the 9803's biggest highlights. Although the main tray holds only 150 sheets of plain paper, its support for a wide range of sizes makes it versatile, and it can also support a wide range of media types, even printing on paper up to 74 lb. with a separate rear paper feed that offers a straight paper path.

Even with its range of features and media support, the unit is fairly compact. It measures 7.33x22.6x16.1 inches and weighs only 22.5 pounds even with the Deskjet 9803 ink supplies installed. Windows, Mac, and Linux are supported, and it includes both parallel and USB ports. An alternate model, the 9803d, also includes automatic duplexing for two-sided prints.

With long-lasting Vivera printer ink, users can make their images last. The device also provides LED lights to indicate when the HP 9803 ink cartridges are running low, making it easy to tell at a glance. Not only are the Deskjet 9803 ink cartridges affordable, but remanufactured HP 9803 ink can be found for less than half the OEM cost.

Buyers who need its wide format support, or even those who just want a solid and reliable inkjet with fast speeds, will find the HP 9803 an appealing choice. Those turned away by its retail price should consider the long-term savings on supplies, as it is a very cost-effective solution.
