HP Deskjet 3000 Ink Cartridges

The HP Deskjet 3000 is an inexpensive personal inkjet printer that has a simple setup and user-friendly features. Reviews on speed tests reveal moderately fast rates compared to units in its class, printing up to 20 pages per minute for monochrome documents and 16 pages per minute for color. While this device has an easy-to-use design and adequate rates, setbacks such as minimal paper handling and low-yielding Deskjet 3000 printer ink will limit productivity in home environments.

With a light weight of less than 5 pounds and size of only 16x15x4 inches, the 3000 has a design that's compact enough for desktop printing. The design incorporates a small front panel that is easy to navigate, including 6 buttons and a monochrome LCD that can be used to access menus and monitor elements like wireless connectivity and HP 3000 printer ink levels. In addition to printing wirelessly, users also have a standard rear USB port for connectivity.

From a duty cycle that can support a maximum of only 1,000 pages per month to its total media handling capacity of just 60 pages, this device has limited volume capabilities, even for a personal printer. Expert reviews on output quality, however, reveal monochrome and color output that is satisfactory enough to suit home offices. Text projects print with a crisp resolution of 600 dpi using black Deskjet 3000 ink, while graphics have little banding and decent color detail.

The unit uses a standard 165-sheet capacity tricolor and a 190-sheet black HP 3000 ink cartridge that can be expensive to replace. For longer-yielding replacements users can purchase the optional high-capacity tricolor and black HP 3000 ink cartridges that can last up to 330 pages and 480 pages, respectively.

Considering its efficient control panel and wireless printing capabilities, this inkjet printer has a generous set of features for its affordable price. While it may have a handful of elements that will limit users to printing at low volumes, the 3000 is a good solution for home printing.
