HP D1330 Printer Review

For an affordable inkjet unit that is compact, the HP Deskjet D1330 is impressive. Printing only, it can produce borderless photos and graphic documents effortlessly. Windows and Mac compatible, the D1330 offers connection via USB port. Lightweight, it weighs a scrawny 4.5 pounds, and its dimensions of 5.6x7.2x4.5 inches certainly make a small footprint.

Using the standard black or tricolor Deskjet D1330 ink cartridge, up to 16 pages per minute can be printed. The black HP D1330 ink has the ability to print with resolutions of as high as 1200x1200, while the color exerts resolutions of 4800x1200 dpi. The tricolor tank holds cyan, magenta and yellow printer ink.

The only problem with having only one Deskjet D1330 ink tank for 3 colors is that when one runs out, the whole tank must be replaced—many printers use a 4, 6 or an even higher printer ink tank system in which each color runs out and is replaced individually. These tanks of HP D1330 ink can be purchased from the manufacturer or from third party vendors.

For those who want something simple the D1330 will do just fine, according to consumers. User reviews are across the board—some love it, some like it and some hate it. Those who don't like the inkjet unit find problems in its noisy nature and poor reliability. It is also known for software issues and tricky set up, according to some reviewers. Paper jams are frequent, which can be a major drawback. Also, many have complained that Avery labels are not compatible. What most people agree on, though, is its low cost. The price tag on the device itself is low, but the cost of HP D1330 ink cartridges is even more affordable. The D1330 produces high quality, which many applaud over and over again.
