Digital camera reviews of HP K5400 Officejet Pro Color Printer
Digital camera Review: Avoid the HP Officejet Pro K5400
Summary: 1 Stars
We purchased this printer to serve a small appraisal office. The item is designed so it cannot print at all if even one of the color cartridges is empty. Shortly after warrenty the printer began registering "empty" even after installing a new ink cartridge, effectively putting us out of business until we can replace it with something useful from a reputable company.
Digital camera Review: Bulky, very noisy and unreliable
Summary: 1 Stars
We got few USB versions of K550 and K5400 for our remote office locations. We didn't need huge capacity but cheap color prints. In my comparison it seemed that this solution would be the cheapest compared to the competitors' models. Unfortunately I didn't count the 2 print heads that have to be replaced as well with the cartridges and the huge ink consumption. Also during warm up the printer makes very loud noises and vibrates the whole desk. Sometimes I'm wondering if have requested a print out or a heavy-construction task with all those unusual rattles. After the warm up it prints quite fast. Also it needs some calibrations from time to time that consume a lot of ink too. It will not print if any of the cartridges is depleted. Finally you have to replace 4 cartridges + 2 heads after few months that will cost more than a new printer. My recommendation as an IT Pro is not to go for this printer or even any HP Inkjet printer if you plan to use original cartridges. If you need monochrome printouts just go for a laser one.Digital camera Review: Colors not true
Summary: 3 Stars
I am disappointed in my HP K5400 Officejet Pro Color Printer. The output is fast, but the colors are not true. There is a dullness and no mater how you adjust the color balance, the colors are distorted.Digital camera Review: DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER
Summary: 1 Stars
This printer is very noisy and has caused me two years of agony. Constantly telling me the lid is open when it is not, damaged printheads expensive to replace. Save your time and your money.Digital camera Review: Defective Ink Heads
Summary: 1 Stars
The printer works fine most of the time. I have not had any of the problems the other folks have talked about.
However, I have had three ink heads go bad. The first one I just thought it was a fluke, and replaced myself. At 65$ I was not happy.
The second one failed and I called HP and talked to a tech on India. Besides the language issue, he did well, and they sent me another ink head.
I purchased a third one, since I needed the printer before the one HP was sending me was to get here.
That one just failed, so I am on my third. I am going to call HP and get another ink head.
At this point it is about time and aggravation.
The ink is not a bargain either. At this point, I wish I had purchased a laser printer.
Or anything else for that matter. I am a small business, and this is really aggravation I do not need.
