HP's $150 Business Inkjet 1000 Printer

nodbody writes "CoolTechZone.com has reviewed HP's latest Business Inkjet 1000 printer that claims to compete against laser printers in its class with its productivity and cost effectiveness. According to the review, "The most impressive part here, apart from the sheer number of pages printed, was that the printer did not get stuck once during the entire print run. This might've been a fluke, but we don't think so. The printer looks sturdy and solid and now we know it has the performance to match it." The author further adds, "The quirk aside, frankly, we are very impressed with HP's Inkjet 1000 printer. If you want an economical and extremely fast inkjet printer (assuming you print mostly black and white documents instead of graphic intensive work), we wholeheartedly recommend this printer to anyone who's in the market for a device that costs $149.99 on average."

    I don't see the point of this. I have a 20 ppm laser printer that only cost me $99 canadian new. Similar deals are not hard to find.

  2. Cartridge prices by Craig+Maloney · · Score: 3, Informative

    Ink for this thing doesn't appear to be unreasonable:

    HP 13 Black Ink Cartridge C4814A $24.99
    Ink volume: 28 ml

    HP 10 Black Inkjet Cartridge C4844A $33.99 (looks like a promo price)
    Ink volume: 69 ml

    Does anyone know what the page rating for 69ml cartridges is?

    Unfortunately unless you need a color printer on the cheap, the cheap laser printers have an adequate duty cycle, and cost less in supplies.
