HP Deskjet D4260

$70.00 Released March, 2007

The Pros:Not nearly as prone to printhead stalling/clogging as similar models from Epson or Lexmark - each new ink cartridge incorporating a new printhead is an excellent feature. Driver software installs quickly and easily on both Mac and PC platforms - allows for simple document customization and fast, reliable printing. Fold-up paper tray design reduces unit footprint by approximately 8 inches - excellent feature for cramped office applications.

The Cons:Doesn't include a USB cable despite requiring one for use - many users will be forced to go out and purchase a separate cable ($5-$10 value). Paper feed tray is seemingly inconsistent - many users report frequent jamming due to partial sheet grabbing, multiple sheet grabbing and partial printing. Unit requires a surprisingly large amount of ink for regular operation - frequent users report spending up to $100 a month to replenish cartridges.

The Deskjet D4260 is an inexpensive general purpose inkjet printer from HP. Primarily designed for light home/home office use due to its rather small ink cartridges, the D4260 allows you to print only a basic variety of paper sizes, including some photographs.
