HP PSC 380 Ink Cartridges

HP PSC 380 Printer Review

Home office users don't have the space or the budget for a large and expensive printer, so the compact size and affordable price of the HP PSC 380 makes it a perfect multifunction color inkjet printer for the home user. It offers a lot of functionality for a low price, and even printer ink is affordable, thanks to the low cost of HP PSC 380 ink.

The PSC 380 has a smaller footprint than many models in its class, making it ideal for those with limited space. It measures 10.1 inches by 17 inches by 14.1 inches and weighs only 15 pounds, making it easy to move around as well. It can print, scan and copy all in one device. The main limitation of copying and scanning is the fact that it has only an automatic document feeder and does not include a flatbed scanning surface. This limits scanning to pages that can fit into the feeder, so scanning larger materials like books is not possible.

Scanning and copying support resolutions up to 300 dpi for good quality for everyday documents in full 24-bit color. Copying is a bit slow at around 3 minutes per page, but for users who only need to copy occasionally, this will likely be a worthwhile tradeoff for such a low price.

Inexpensive HP PSC 380 ink will help keep the running costs of printer ink very low, especially for an inkjet model. With fairly large capacities, HP PSC 380 ink cartridges also give users a low cost per page. Third-party compatible HP PSC 380 ink is also available to save users even more money.

Home users will like the great feature set available in the HP PSC 380. It has the essential printing, scanning and copying features that any office needs, but it doesn't command a high price and doesn't take up too much space.
