HP Photosmart Premium Fax Ink Cartridges

The HP Photosmart Premium Fax is an all-in-one device that can perform a range of tasks, from sending a fax out to clients or scanning an important document to printing a photo or copying one. Despite its low cost, this device can print at quick speeds of up to 33 pages per minute that rivals higher-end home office machines. Experts praise this inkjet device for its versatility, quick and sharp output, and ample connectivity, but it does face setbacks like costly Photosmart Premium Fax printer ink and a simple scanner.

This unit's design is centered on its multifunction features, providing a 50-sheet automatic document feeder for scanning and faxing large jobs, automatic double-sided printing and copying and 64 MB of shared RAM. The unit's front panel is missing dedicated buttons for fax speed dials, but it does include a 2.4-inch LCD for updates on jobs and navigating menus, a numeric keypad, and buttons to select between monochrome or color copying.

While the unit's software suite can be installed on a user's computer for access to editing features, its built-in front USB port will enable them to print images straight from a flash drive or PictBridge-enabled camera. The device also comes with Wi-Fi for wireless connectivity and a rear USB port for a wired connection to a user's computer.

The device can handle media with a maximum size of 8.5x11 inches and provides a single 125-sheet input tray for storing paper. When using specialty photo paper, the device can achieve its highest-quality output by printing with clarity and a maximum resolution of 9600x2400 dpi using color HP Premium Fax printer ink. Text documents print with a fine resolution of 600x600 dpi using black Photosmart Premium Fax ink, while the device can duplicate projects with a resolution of up to 1200x600 dpi.

The unit's black, photo black, cyan, magenta and yellow supplies each have their own dedicated HP Premium Fax ink cartridge that can be replaced separately as they expire. HP Premium Fax ink cartridges may become expensive to replace despite solid yields, with each color supply lasting around 750 pages and the black supplies yielding around 800 pages.

A number of this unit's features have experts impressed, including its quick speeds, professional-quality output (especially for photos), and flexible all-in-one capabilities. For such a low price tag, there aren't many other inkjet units in its class that offer the same balance of performance and features, making this printer one of the top picks among comparable home office models.
