HP D5445 Printer Review

Compatible with Windows and Mac operating systems, the HP Photosmart D5445 will fit the needs of most home offices. Need something that's versatile? The D5445 is perfect, printing on a plethora of different media types. Copier paper, plain paper, multipurpose, envelopes, index cards, greeting cards, inkjet paper, iron-on transfers, labels, photo paper, transparencies and letterhead papers all work in conjunction with this Photosmart. Even some custom size papers are supported. Most standard sizes of these media types are compatible, meaning no matter the type or size of canvas, this inkjet unit has what it takes to make it happen. Impressively, CDs and DVDs can be printed on as well.

Five HP D5445 ink cartridges are needed for text, graphic and photo printing. These standard tanks of HP D5445 ink are filled with cyan, magenta, yellow and black printer ink. The fifth Photosmart D5445 ink cartridge is used for photo printing, and it contains black photo ink.

The page yields range from 250-300 pages per tank, which won't last buyers too long. The great thing about these tanks of Photosmart D5445 ink is that they come in high capacity versions as well. For a little more money, users can more than double the amount of ink they purchase.

Though HP D5445 ink tanks are in no way expensive, their inexpensive price could really start to add up if users buy them often. One way to avoid that is to buy from third party vendors who sell remanufactured printer ink for only a fraction of the OEM price.

Consumer reviews of the D5445 are mostly positive. Users love its affordability, as well as the quality of prints. Many enjoy having the ability to print directly onto DVDs and CDs. It doesn't have a ton of fancy features, but what it can do, it does well.
