HP C5380 Printer Review

The HP Photosmart C5380 may seem like a typical multifunction inkjet printer, but its added features add extra value for buyers. Print speeds are faster than most, at up to 33 pages per minute in black and 31 pages per minute in color. It can print photos without the need for a computer, and HP C5380 ink costs are lower than average, making it easy on the wallet.

One of the most striking things about the Photosmart C5380 is its sleek modern design. Its control panel and full-color LCD screen are well-placed, offering easy access to essential functions, and the interface is easy to use even for novices. With a host of media card slots and a PictBridge port, it is easy to access photos for printing directly within the machine. The unit can print, scan and fax, though it does not include faxing capabilities. It connects via USB but does not include wired or wireless networking support.

HP C5380 ink cartridges have large capacities and low prices, giving the printer a low cost per page. The 5-cartridge system allows Photosmart C5380 ink cartridges to be replaced individually, cutting down on wasted printer ink. With some of the lowest prices in its class, Photosmart C5380 ink makes the machine a great value.

In a preview of the HP C5380 inkjet printer, CNET Australia highlighted some of its best features. They liked its low price and its full-color LCD screen. They also liked the option for high-capacity cartridges. They disliked the lack of faxing and any kind of networking support, however.

Overall, the HP C5380 should appeal to amateur photographers and photo enthusiasts who need its excellent print quality but also want basic office functions. Its low price and the low cost of printer ink make it a very affordable choice.
