Digital camera reviews of HP Color LaserJet 1600 Printer (CB373A#ABA)
Digital camera Review: HP1600n
Summary: 5 Stars
Arrived fast and delivered in perfect condition! I was so impressed! Working perfectly ever since! Thanks!Digital camera Review: Huge, Heavy, Costly, and Stupid Machine!
Summary: 2 Stars
I really needed a printer and purchased this item in a rush at a local store. Now, I really don't know why I purchased this item!!
Con:
1) So huge and took up so much space, it won't fit on my desk space or side table; normal peripherial stand does not work for this printer!
2) Extremely heavy and it was such a hassle to bring this machine back to my room located at 3rd floor! (it did not fit in the truck or barely fit in the backseat of my car)
3) Ink catridge costs more than actual printer itself
(this can be said for most printers nowadays, but considering the cost of ink cartridges need to be installed, expect to spend averaging $85 per cartridge x 4 ("1 x black +3 x color") = $340 total!=> More expensive than printer
4)Frequent automatic calibration!!
I am not sure if this can be applied to all, but my printer starts calibrating itself every 15 minutes or so for nothing! it is very noisy and annoying, and scares me a lot because it starts all of a sudden!
5)Single papertray
I thought there should be at least 2 trays avaialble for this size, but there is only one tray at the bottom. But tray number shows "Tray 2". I cannot find any other tray?!
6)When paper is low, it stops printing and shows "error"
this printer does not run until paper tray becomes empty. Instead, it shows "Error: Paperjam". There is no paper jammed in the machine, just papers are running low. this machine is STUPID!
Pro:
There is nothing special to note really but
1) Printing speed and data transfer speed is pretty fast
2) Initial sample cartiridge came with last longer than I anticipated
3) printing quality is quite good for all type of papers ( but using printing paper or non-economy paper is recommended for color printing)
Possible recommendation:
If I had more time to research, I would have gone to smaller, lighter weight, more compactly designed machine such as:
HP Laserjet 1018 Printer
Digital camera Review: Not OSX Compatible!
Summary: 1 Stars
This printer is not compatible with macintosh computers. The fact that any printer needs a driver with today's technology is a joke, and evidence of how cheap HP has become.
For anyone buying this printer for Windows, good luck with the instructions! The 11 step process of installing the printer has been efficiently translated into 1. remove shipping tape, 2. install accessories, ... load paper, connect power.
Other than these problems the printer works fine, but I will only use it to print the test page. Buy at your own risk.
Oh yeah, HP cut every single corner they could with this thing. It does not include a USB cable. The instructions are on one sheet of paper! Seriously HP, even your $40 calculators come with 100+ page user manuals. I don't want to sit on hold with support to save you money.
Digital camera Review: Not for Scrapbookers!
Summary: 3 Stars
The printer has nice colors and prints beautifully if it's on regular paper. However, if you scrapbook and need to print on cardstock, do NOT buy! As a previous reviewer stated it starts to get messy after one copy. I returned mine. Also, it is quite a beast (tall and with a large footprint), so make sure you've got a large space for it to live. I would recommend this printer if you want bright, clear colors on basic paper only (especially if it's on sale for $180 at a local office supply store), which is where I bought and returned mine...Digital camera Review: One of the BEST Printer WE ever Using
Summary: 5 Stars
