Hello guys. So, due to the increasing projects and the need for colour images and documents, I decided to buy a new printer. I had a HP Deskjet D1668 printer which went kaput in 3 months. I also had sent it to the HP Service center multiple times. They couldn't recitfy the problem and also weren't ready to replace it. So, I was fed up of this and it was then lying in a corner for about 3 years. Now, in 2013 the need for a printer increased so I started researching printers. I had a budget of Rs.3500. Also I liked the usability of multi function printers. The contenders were
- HP Deskjet 1050
- Canon Pixma MP287
- Epson Stylus - TX 121
I did not want to go for HP because of the bad experience with the printer. I had problems with availability for Epson printer. I was a bit biased with Canon because of using their fabulous Digital Cameras. So decided to buy Pixma MP 287. Placed the order on amazon.in to seller G.K Vale & Company on 19th July and got it on 24th July. The printer when recieved was very heavy and weighed 8 kilos with the boxing (my OLD HP weighed almost half). But, anyways I was concerned with the functions, durability and ease of use of the printer.
The printer had the following features
- Print + Scan + Copy
- Max Print resolution - 4800 x 1200 dpi
- Optical scanning resolution 1200 x 2400 dpi
- CIS (Contact Image Sensor) for the scanner
- Fine Printing Technology
And, other many details which I don't want to get into
Some Pictures (sorry for bad pictures because of bad camera)
The printer has a good shape and looks good in black
The panel with buttons for Scan, Colour Print, Black and White Print, No. of Paper
Inside the scanner lid
The opening tray opened (printer accumulates a lot of dust)
Tray to load paper
Location of cartridges (C for Colour Cartridge and B for Black Catridge)
Cartridge tray opened (Supports PG 810 and CL 811)\
Overall, this printer is highly recommended for his print quality and value for money.
Pros
- Print + Scan + Copy function
- Low price
- Good print quality
- Good scan quality
- Easy to use
Cons
- Expensive cartridges (doesn't deter me because I don't print much)
- No protection cover provided by Canon (results in accumulation of dust)
- HP Deskjet 1050
- Canon Pixma MP287
- Epson Stylus - TX 121
