HP PSC 920 Ink Cartridges

HP PSC 920 Printer Review

The HP PSC 920 is an all-in-one inkjet printer with scanning, copying, and faxing capabilities. A few of its functions are a bit limited, but it can print at speeds of up to 12 pages per minute in black and 9 pages per minute in color, with a maximum resolution of 1200 dpi for photos. Its affordable price is also an appealing factor, considering its numerous features.

Home users in tight spaces might find the PSC 920 to be a little larger than they would like. It measures 10.7x17.8x14.1 inches, though it weighs only 19.3 pounds, so it is easy to place on a desktop assuming you have the space. It can be a bit noisy, however, at a maximum of 51.3 dB, so users may want to consider whether to set it up in close proximity.

The input tray can hold up to 100 sheets of standard paper, though the output tray is limited to 50 sheets maximum. Scanning supports an optical resolution of 600x1200 dpi for sharp images, and OCR software is included for converting scanned documents into editable text, perfect for searchable archiving. Standalone copying and faxing are supported, and easily operated from the control panel. Memory card slots are provided in the front of the machine, but users will have to rely on the included software, as directly printing is not supported.

The unit uses two printer ink supplies: one black and one tricolor. Experienced buyers know that using a tricolor HP PSC 920 ink cartridge instead of discrete colors can lead to more waste. Prices for OEM HP PSC 920 ink cartridges are quite high, but remanufactured HP PSC 920 printer ink can offer some relief.

For a basic and affordable all-in-one inkjet, the PSC 920 has a good blend of features and functionality, and its low price is appealing. As long as users shop for inexpensive HP PSC 920 ink, it can be a good value for home users.
