HP PSC 1318 Printer Review

These days, most printers available have multiple functions. In this fast-paced world, people are looking for speed and efficiency, and all-in-one devices provide both. The PSC 1318 is a multi-purpose printer designed for small offices and/or homes. Small offices will benefit from this addition, but may be disappointed in its monthly duty cycle of 1,000 pages.

Most of them will be drawn to the professional-quality photo printing that the PSC 1318 is capable of.

Equipped with two HP PSC 1318 ink cartridges, this inkjet unit can make realistic pictures that will last a lifetime. It can also print crisp and clear text documents for book reports or newsletters.

The HP PSC 1318 ink can adhere to various media types including envelopes, labels, transparencies and cards.

The scanner has a maximum resolution of 1200x2400 dpi and contains a 36-bit internal color depth with an 8-bit grayscale. These produce million of colors unseen by the naked eye. The copy machine has the ability to zoom 25%-400% and still make the copies fit the desired page size.

There is an optional PSC 1318 ink cartridge available that is specifically for photo printing. It adds light magenta and light cyan to the standard black, yellow, cyan and magenta printer ink colors. Photo enthusiasts will also appreciate the PictBridge connection and memory card slots. This allows users to plug a digital camera directly into the inkjet printer.
