Verdict on the HP Photosmart D5400
All-in-one printers from HP are usually flawed by one thing; the high price of the printer ink cartridges they use. Thankfully HP Photosmart D5400 ink cartridges are available in compatible form, which means you can actually afford to run the printer on ink cartridges and don’t have to pay the high prices for genuine HP ink cartridges, (unless you want to of course). The HP Photosmart D5400 looks good and wouldn’t look out of place on anyone’s desk; it’s amazingly compact when you consider it has the functionality of three different machines and doesn’t look that much bigger than a standard inkjet printer. As an inkjet printer the HP Photosmart D5400 performs very well indeed, it can do pretty much any task you throw at it from a basic page of text to a borderless photo print of any size you want. The built-in flat bed scanner is also a good facility and is capable of scanning text from books right through to high-resolution photographs. The photocopying function is probably the most impressive thing about the Photosmart D5400 as it can work stand-alone from a PC and copy documents at a single touch of a button. The copying is fast and accurate which makes the resulting document clear and easy to read. Overall The HP Photosmart D5400 is a great machine and is excellent value for money especially when compatible in cartridges are used.
