HP D1560 Printer Review

Though it doesn't offer networking capabilities, the HP Deskjet D1560 does offer USB connection and decent speeds. It isn't stacked with awesome features, and it doesn't offer many functions. This HP does, however, offer a low cost of maintenance due to inexpensive HP D1560 ink cartridges.

When buying this inkjet printer, it is important to look at the positives and the negatives—and the best place to look is the reviews from consumers who have owned and used the product. Its speeds have been both criticized and praised, printing 18.5 pages per minute using black HP D1560 ink and 12 pages per minute using color printer ink. Many users have had installation problems, while some have said setup was very easy. A lot of people complain about the high Deskjet D1560 ink consumption, and it is pretty disappointing—the black tank only yields 190 pages and color can yield 165 pages. It is also known for being quite loud. For some though, there couldn't be a better deal for such an affordable price.

There are some other specs that should be kept in mind as well. It uses only two Deskjet D1560 ink cartridges that are black and tricolor. The tricolor tank contains cyan, magenta and yellow printer ink. Included in the unit is an ink level indicator that tells users when their HP D1560 ink is running low, and it also contains an ink back-up mode that allows users to keep on printing even if one color runs out. This is quite a convenience, which buyers could find helpful.

It only weighs 4.2 pounds, meaning anyone can lift and move it, and if buyers are worried that they don't have space for a new inkjet printer, they have nothing to worry about here. This sleek printer has a very small size of only 5.5x16.6x12.4 inches.
