Digital camera reviews of HP Color LaserJet 1600 Printer (CB373A#ABA)
Digital camera Review: Very large and ink very expensive...
Summary: 2 Stars
In a weak moment I fell for the hype about this printer. After having had such god-awful printers with poor print quality that always ran out of ink I wanted a great printer. This HP performs beautifully, no jams,copies are pretty,the colors are amazing, etc. The downside of this HP 1600 is that it is very large and takes up half my desk and the worst part of it is the ink supply did not live up to the advertising. Also, the replacement Ink cartridges are too expensive! There is no gray scale level which would use less ink and thereby saves money and ink. If you want a test copy-it will use 100% ink. The life of the ink cartridge was suppose to be 500 printed pages before requiring a new cartridge but that hype turned out to be untrue so that is a huge disappointment. All in all the printer was too expensive and now that I am stuck with it and have to buy expensive ink! Do not buy this it's a money pit even if you do not do heavy printing.Digital camera Review: Worth $40

Printing envelopes is a challenge. Just figuring out the proper settings to print envelopes was a headache. Moisture sealing envelopes cannot be used because they seal themselves as they pass through the printer. Only pull and seal envelopes can be used. Often the addresses come out splotchy with part of the address barley visible.
After about 6 months of using the printer, everything I print has a vertical yellow streak and the left side of each page.
Included cartridges are half filled and replacements are very expensive.
UPDATE:
I just took a baseball bat to mine and I feel so much better. This thing was going into calibration mode for hours on end. Completely unusable.
Digital camera Review: nice until it breaks, and it will
Summary: 1 Stars
Mine broke after 1 year of light use. It started to marble the page and smeared a vertical red line on the left side of the page. Other users reported similar problems.
It's an excellent printer for about a year, after that you can throw it away (which is not that easy btw).
You save money because it is low priced, but it will cost you a lot in the end. The expensive toners are not that much of an issue because it probably doesn't last that long ...
Digital camera Review: where's my stuff
Summary: 1 Stars
Ordered this printer one month ago. Still no printer. I have requested a full refund via Amazon. The seller sent proof he shipped the printer and the mailing receipt showed it shipped was 11 days after I had ordered this printer. He used the US mail and I do not know who to blame. The facts remain "where is my printer" and where is my refund?
