HP C3188 Printer Review

The HP Photosmart C3188 prints, scans and copies any documents needed for the home office. With dimensions of only 6.4x17.1x15 inches, it has quite a small size that will make users happy fitting nearly any desk space. Weighing only 16.9 pounds, it won't be hard to lift either. Papers like plain, legal, label, transparency and photo all work in conjunction with this all in one, and up to 10 envelopes can fit into the input tray. The upfront cost of the unit is affordable, and the HP C3188 ink won't break the bank either. Creating up to 3,000 pages per minute, this unit uses drop-on-demand technology.

The C3188 prints at fast speeds while using two tanks of printer ink. Black and color Photosmart C3188 ink come standard and both printer ink tanks yield 220 pages, which are somewhat small. Printing with impressive resolutions of 4800x1200 using color HP C3188 ink and 1200x1200 using black, this will make documents that look flawless and true to life.

The inkjet copier, with the help of HP C3188 ink cartridges can create about 50 copies from an original, and it can enlarge documents all the way up to 400% of their original size. Using Image Editor, the scanner turns scanned text into editable text and can reach resolutions of up to 1200x2400 dpi. It even has the ability to reach an enhanced resolution of 19200 dpi.

For photos with the highest quality possible, consumers should purchase the optional photo color Photosmart C3188 ink cartridge. Though it only yields 130 pages, it will certainly reach resolutions users will be proud of. The photos will last years, and images will be sharp and clear.

This inkjet unit is compatible with both Mac and Windows, and using these operating systems in conjunction with the C3188 is just as smooth as the finished products themselves.
