HP PSC 1312 Ink Cartridges

HP PSC 1312 Printer Review

Compatible with all major operating systems, the HP PSC 1312 is a dependable inkjet printer with multiple functions and excellent quality. The copying function can print 15 pages per minute and reach resolutions of 600x1200 dpi using black HP PSC 1312 ink and 1200x1200 dpi in color while doing so. It can also zoom to 400% and make 50 copies from an original. The scanner has a 36-bit color depth, which contains colors unseen to the naked eye. It can reach a resolution of 600x2400 dpi.

There is a monthly duty cycle of 1,000 pages, so consumers that need to print a lot of documents or images will want to look elsewhere. For normal users, though, this duty cycle will be plenty. Connected by USB and PictBridge, the 1312 is capable of having images transferred directly from a digital camera. It can print on cards, envelopes, labels, transparencies, iron-on transfers or photo paper.

The two HP PSC 1312 ink cartridges are black and tricolor, which contains cyan, magenta and yellow printer ink. There is an optional HP PSC 1312 ink that is intended for photo printing. It has light magenta and light cyan, plus black ink and takes the place of the solely black ink tank. For people who print a bit more than most, high capacity HP PSC 1312 ink cartridges are also available.

This unit weighs 10 pounds and measures 6.68x16.76x10.2 inches, making it compact and easy to move around. There is a 100-sheet input tray and 16 MB of memory. Software provided by the manufacturer, HP Image Zone, helps enhance images and simplify all of the functions this inkjet unit is capable of. The multiple services, high-quality printer ink and long-lasting life span make the HP PSC 1312 one of the best options out there.
