Buying a printer is a task that requires a lot of time and organization. You have to be sure of what type of printer you want, the price, quality, size and overall appearance of the printer. In this opinion, I am going to select eight important categories of a printer and briefly describe each point in accordance to my new printer, the Hewlett Packard DeskJet 640C. Use: I use this printer mainly to print out information and a few pictures as research in some of my subjects (mainly science) to increase my grade (not that the grade’s bad lol). At an average, I print out about 10 pages a week. Price: This was a very big factor when I was ...  Read the complete review

This my friends is a great printer, which for some reason or another has been omitted from the printers reviews, but this will put that right! Right then, on with my opinion….. The Hewlett Packard 640C DeskJet is a colour inkjet printer, which, in my humble opinion & experience produces good results & is not expensive to buy or run. When you buy your 640C, you get a fair sized, strong box, which protects the contents very nicely indeed. Inside the package is the printer (well packaged & protected), the driver disk, colour & black cartridges, power cable, user manual (very helpful & easy to read) & a large poster which explains in very ...  Read the complete review

The Hewlett Packard 640C printer is HP’s most basic inkjet and costs around £65. It is a fairly bulky device with both the in and out paper trays at the front, so it takes up quite a bit of desk space. The 640c connects easily to either your parallel port or to a USB port and comes with drivers on a CD. These install smoothly and are to Hewlett Packard’s usual high standard. They include features such as mirror and rotation and have some image manipulation tools, which is as well as a separate image editor was not supplied with the unit. Cartridges clip into the print carriage with ease, a black one and a tricolour one. Both include ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit I don't know a lot about computers so when I decided to buy a printer I didn't really know where to start. I read all the Dooyoo reviews and marched off to Dixons having checked all the stuff available online. I'm not convinced about buying online, I like to hold the thing in my hands and look at it! I soon realised that I couln't afford most of the recommended printers that were actually available and decided to be brave. I settled on the deskjet 640c mainly because it was reduced to £70 and HP is a well known make. As it turns out I think it was a good choice, it has parallel and usb connections and the print quality is good for home ...  Read the complete review

This printer is an excellent purchase for home users who want to produce excellent quality, everyday printouts - at a value price. The supplied software is top notch and describes all the different settings in detail. It is very easy to use and produces sterling results. A good all-rounder, it even works perfectly in Linux and is fairly cheap to run, with it's cartridges weighing in at around £20 - cheaper than some competitors! Build quality hasn't been skimped on, either. It is well built, using a slightly different (and more efficient, in my opinion) paper feeding method than other printers, and it looks good too! It's not complicated, ...  Read the complete review
