HP C5388 Printer Review

Looking for a printer, copier and scanner all in one for personal users or very small offices? If so, check out the HP Photosmart C5388. Operating with Windows or Mac systems, setup shouldn't be difficult. Upon purchase, 512 MB of RAM are included, but that can always be upgraded to 1 GB for those who need expansion. The only means of connection with this unit as via USB port, but Bluetooth support can be added if needed. The weight of only 11 pounds makes it simple for users to move the C5388 around whenever necessary. A size of only 8.1x17.7x19.9 makes finding a spot for it simple too, because it takes up hardly any room.

Inside the inkjet printer, there are five HP C5388 ink cartridges. The standard colors of printer ink are cyan, magenta, yellow and black. However, there is a fifth photo black Photosmart C5388 ink tank that can be used too. Buyers are also given two options when it comes to size of the cartridge—high capacity and standard capacity. The standard capacity color tanks and photo black printer ink last 300 pages, while the black lasts 250 pages. The high capacity color and black HP C5388 ink lasts 750 and 800 pages, respectively.

One thing that buyers will surely love about the machine is the fact that it can easily be connected to many different media types, like Memory Stick, Secure Digital Media, Secure MultiMedia Card, MMC Mobile and Memory Stick Select. With this connection, direct printing is offered without connection to a computer.

Using the Photosmart C5388 ink cartridges, resolutions as high as 9600 dpi can be reached. Finding a resolution better than that will be next to impossible. Using this inkjet printer, up to 31 pages per minute can be printed out too, and up to 50 copies can be created from an original document with help from HP C5388 ink.
