HP PSC 2200 Ink Cartridges

HP PSC 2200 Printer Review

Small offices that do not have demanding daily print needs will be satisfied with the HP PSC 2200. This is an inkjet printer that has a monthly duty cycle of 3,000 prints and the ability to produce up to 17 pages per minute. Though not designed to operate sufficiently in a fast-pace, high-volume work environment, the multiple functions make the PSC 2200 ideal for an office with limited space and basic tasks.

The copying portion of this unit can produce up to 99 copies per an original. Users also have the option of enlarging or shrinking an image anywhere from 25% to 400% of the original size. The scanner can create an interpolated resolution of 9600 dpi and it has a 48-bit color depth. The fax machine has 60 speed dials, a 60-page memory and it has the ability to serve as a stand-alone unit, meaning a PC connection is not needed to send or receive faxes. It has a 6 kbps transmission speed and can deliver faxes with a resolution of 200x200 dpi.

There are two HP PSC 2200 ink cartridges that are needed for operation. One contains only black printer ink while the other holds yellow, cyan and magenta. Standard-capacity and high-capacity replacement HP PSC 2200 ink cartridges are available. The standard-capacity black HP 2200 ink will last for 220 prints while the color can produce 190. The high capacity tri-color printer ink produces up to 400 pages before expiring and the black lasts for 520 prints.

Connected by a USB 2.0 port, the 2200 is compatible with Windows and Mac operating systems. For users that print photos, a special photo HP PSC 2200 ink is available that will create more vivid and realistic pictures. Overall, this inkjet printer is a good choice for users looking for a basic multi-function unit.
