HP D1568 Printer Review

For home users looking for something simple and basic, the HP Deskjet D1568 is worth considering. Offering only printing and no other functions, it definitely won't work for an office—especially with its low monthly duty cycle of only 500 pages. For homes with people who print mostly text and graphics or even homes that occasionally print photos, this inkjet printer may hit the spot.

While some printers may use four, six or even ten tanks of printer ink, the HP Deskjet D1568 uses only two. One is a black HP D1568 ink cartridge, and the other is tricolor. The tricolor Deskjet D1568 ink cartridge contains cyan, magenta and yellow ink. The black and color tanks have page yields of 190 pages and 165 pages, respectively. When it comes to this inkjet unit, low yielding ink is definitely a downfall.

The HP D1568 ink is, however, very inexpensive. For those who don't think they can afford to replace Deskjet D1568 ink often, there is an even more affordable solution—buying remanufactured versions of the printer ink from third party vendors. The third party replacement HP D1568 ink is only a fraction of the price of OEM ink, and they even offer the same resolutions. Sound too good to be true? It isn't if this ink is purchased from a reliable third party supplier.

When printing monochromatic documents, resolutions of 1200x1200 dpi are possible. If printing documents with color, resolutions as high as 4800x1200 dpi can be obtained. These resolutions will not only get the job done, but they will make documents look professional and impressive too. The higher the resolution is, the more true-to-life the images will be.

The HP D1568 will also offer Windows and Mac compatibility and a USB port connection. An ink level indicator and an ink backup mode both come standard upon purchase.
