HP PSC 1415 Ink Cartridges

HP PSC 1415 Printer Review

The HP PSC 1415 is a color inkjet all-in-one printer that includes scan and copy functions. It can reach printing speeds of up to 7 pages per minute for monochrome and up to 2.8 pages per minute for color, but printing at the highest quality settings will bring down the speed. HP PSC 1415 printer ink prices are fairly affordable, especially compatible alternatives, and its compact design is great for small spaces.

The PSC 1415 is somewhat typical of a simple all-in-one for home users. It has a simple flatbed scanning surface to handle the copy and scan functions, but lacks an automatic document feeder, so it will be best for light use. It also has a maximum duty cycle of 5,000 pages, so it probably shouldn't be used by more than a few users on a regular basis.

The maximum resolution is 4800x1200 dpi optimized when printing photos with color OfficeJet PSC 1415 printer ink. The physical resolution is 1200x1200 dpi, which can make even text documents and more basic projects look very sharp. The single input paper tray holds up to 100 sheets, though the output tray is limited to 50 sheets, so users may need to empty it more often for longer documents.

The machine uses two separate HP PSC 1415 ink cartridges: one black and one tricolor that combines cyan, magenta, and yellow. The benefit of the tricolor OfficeJet PSC 1415 ink cartridges is that they are easier to replace than individual colors, but can result in more wasted ink. Users who want to save extra money have the option of using compatible HP PSC 1415 ink instead of the more expensive OEM versions.

For an affordable all-in-one inkjet, the HP PSC 1415 has a good mix of features, and affordable purchase price, and decent running costs. Its print quality is also impressive, even though print speeds are somewhat limited.
