HP Deskjet 2545 All-In-One Printer Review

Expert review of the HP Deskjet 2545 All-In-One printer

Our Verdict:

The HP Deskjet 2545 All-In-One is a colour inkjet printer that can print, scan and copy. Suitable for low printing volumes, it is best suited for domestic use. With wireless connectivity, it is easy for the entire family to print from their go-to devices. The print quality is of a high standard and represents good value for the money. However, as it takes a tri-colour cartridge, there is likely to be some wastage. This is an all-in-one device that is designed to save on the space needed for multiple devices, but as there is no fax function, an additional device may be needed.

Design

Measuring just 157 x 425 x 306mm, the HP Deskjet 2545 All-In-One is a compact device in a pearl-white casing. The monthly duty cycle is 1,000 pages, and the print resolution is 4800 x 1200 dpi. Print speeds are 20ppm for monochrome printing and 16ppm in colour. The printer is monitored and controlled from a panel on the front that includes a 5cm LCD screen. It uses thermal inkjet technology using a black cartridge and a tri-colour cartridge. Connection options include USB interface or Wi-Fi. A paper tray holds up to 60 sheets.

Advantages

With wireless connectivity, the HP Deskjet 2545 All-In-One can print from a range of devices, including mobile phones or laptops. Print quality is good and works out at a low cost per page. With a scanner and copier in one compact device, it takes up relatively little space in your home or office. It is easy to operate.

Disadvantages

The set-up of the HP Deskjet 2545 All-In-One is complicated. It quickly reverts to sleep mode which saves money but can also be frustrating. There is no fax function available on this printer. It will struggle to cope with a large volume of printing. A tri-colour ink cartridge may result in ink wastage and additional expense.
