HP Deskjet 843c Ink Cartridges

Design

The HP Deskjet 843C looks like a plain, plastic printer with its simple 7.3-inch tall, 14-inch deep, and 17.6-inch wide exterior that has minimal controls. However, it is integrated with a 2MB RAM for photo-quality printing and satisfactory speeds. The HP Deskjet 843C prints with PhotoREt II technology in an attempt to produce realistic colours. The 843C HP printer connects to a PC via USB or parallel connection, and paper is loaded into a curved media path, which is typical of most HP printers.

Advantages

The HP Deskjet 843C inkjet printer produces top quality documents; the text looks clean, sharp, and very legible without obvious fading around the characters. The HP 843C colour printer can handle various types of media. Print quality remains consistent because of the intelligent colour layering technology. Users also like the compact size of the Deskjet 843C printer, which can fit into most desktop spaces.

Disadvantages

The design itself is a major flaw; the paper tray often causes paper jams. The HP Deskjet 843C is quite heavy, weighing almost 5.5kg, and does not offer postscript support. It can only print at a maximum resolution of 600x600dpi, so don't expect lab-quality photographs. The speeds of the HP Deskjet 843C printer are also slow – a maximum of 8ppm in colour and 0.5ppm in draft mode.
