HP D1341 Printer Review

In need of a simple, compact, inkjet printer for the home? If monthly volume doesn't exceed 500 pages, the HP Deskjet D1341 could be an excellent place to look. Due to its lack of faxing, scanning, copying, wireless connection and high volume rates, this wouldn't fit in a house with demanding needs or a small office. It weighs only 4.5 pounds, making it portable and easy to move around.

Using one black HP D1341 ink cartridge and one tricolor (cyan, magenta and yellow)printer ink tank, this little machine can crank out 16 pages per minute. Though these speeds aren't the best, the quality is impressive. Using only the black HP D1341 ink, a resolution of 1200x1200 dpi is possible. With color Deskjet D1341 ink, 4800x1200 dpi can be obtained.

It is versatile, printing on a lot of different types of media. Photo paper, envelopes, index cards, plain paper, greeting cards and labels can all be printed on. Even overhead transparencies can be printed on using HP D1341 ink.

For those who value reliability, this HP may not be the best option. Consumer reviews show that it tends to not be as dependable as most hope. Paper jams are often complained about, and many are turned off by the loud noises the D1341 makes when running. Software issues and installation problems are primary concerns, and a few users have gone as far as to say that the inkjet printer was a waste of money. Inexpensive Deskjet D1341 ink cartridges, however, are constantly being praised, and the quality of the printer ink seems to be unanimously reviewed as high.

For homes with minimal printing needs or college students who print essays and notes, the D1341 could be a great addition. For those users with high volume work rates, this could be a disaster.
