HP Deskjet 710c

We have had this printer for years! It's an okay printer, though I would assume there are better newer ones in the price-range nowadays... It's perfectly okay for home use & student use (if you're not an architect or designer - I'm not, & assume those might need something better), a few BAs have been printed on it too, as well as a family tree - with photos! /& yes, the photos look beautiful!/ It is good to consider getting better quality paper for those, though... & experiment with various sorts of paper a bit... (to get best results with cheapest possible paper, it does need to be a bit thicker, but not necessarily 'photo ...  Read the complete review

I have had the Hewlett-Packard deskjet 710c for about 2 years now and certainly wouldn't change it for a different model. I get this printer as part of a package deal from Currys, but only by sheer luck, as the printer that I was supposed to get was a canon and was out of stock so I got an upgraded one (HP deskjet 710c.) After looking at the canon I'm glad it was out of stock, because although it was small my boyfriend has one and I don't think a lot to it as it doesn't print properly. The Hewlett-Packard deskjet 710c is beige in colour and although it is quite a large model compared to other printers I have found it to offer ...  Read the complete review

My Desktop 710C has served me well.It has always been consistent and clear , if a little slow.The only gripe which I have to raise is that in order to operate it you have to shell out £10 for a printer cable.This is a nasty , concealed hidden cost and one which lowers my opinion of Hewlett Packard.Upon purchase I was not informed I would need a printer cable in order to operate it.If it were not for my uncle having a spare one and generously giving it to me , I would have had to have gone £10 over budget , which as a young student is something I can afford. ...  Read the complete review

Have HP gone mad with their numbering? I bought an HP815 from QXL for £41 (plus delivery) and the only thing to distinguish it from the HP710 is the number on the front! This is an excellent machine for the light user, printing is dreadfully slow on high quality colour (make yourself a cup of tea, and a sandwich) but it rips through my draft black text stuff. I have always bought HP brand replacement cartridges, and the HP710, 815 and 850 (my first printer!), all take the same black refill. I would never buy any other brand of printer, the customer service is excellent, and for light users these printers go on and on. However, don't get me started on HP ...  Read the complete review

We have had our 710C for about a year. We use it as a family machine and for that it serves us well. However, it is too slow for heavy usage -- printing out long reports, lengthy papers etc. For that I have a laser printer which I have never regretted. Colour is pretty good -- we use it for photos (on standard inkjet paper not fancy paper) and on acetates for us on OHPS. It does the latter well. ...  Read the complete review
