Important Printer Buying Tip: ALWAYS check for the ink cartridge prices before you purchase a printer. Why? Sometimes cheaper printers end up costing more because its ink cartridges may be way expensive. You should calculate the "cost of ownership" per month. The math is simple: (number of prints per month) times (cost of the cartridge) divided by (the yield of the cartridge). Yield is the number of pages that can be printed with one particular cartridge. For example, assume that average home user prints 150 black pages per month using a black cartridge that yields 200 pages and costs $28. The monthly "cost of ownership" is (150 pages) x ($28) = $21 200 pages Also look at the printer ink alternatives; besides the original manufacturer's cartridges (OEMs), you may have the selection of remanufactured cartridges, compatible ink cartridges, and ink refill kits. |

Detailed Specs (HP 950, C8435A):
Product Description for HP PSC 950 (From the Manufacturer, Hewlett Packard)
Why buy multiple office machines when you can have one that does it all? The HP PSC 950 combines the functions of a printer, scanner, copier, and fax machine into a single solidly crafted unit that weighs less than 20 pounds. Plus, it supports your digital camera's CompactFlash, Smart Media and Sony Memory Stick cards, for quick and easy photo printing.
Print speeds are an impressive 12 ppm (10ppm color), while print resolution tops out at 1,200 x 2,400 dpi, resulting in crisp, accurate images. Great for photos as well as office documents, the paper handling options are impressive: a 100-sheet input tray, 50-sheet output tray, and a special tray for professional-quality 4-by-6-inch photo paper.
The copy function lets you reduce or enlarge images anywhere from 25% to 400% of original size, and it makes up to 90 copies at a time. Copy speeds are around 12 cpm (9 cpm color), while a copy resolution of 600 x 1,200 dpi provides accurate images with little to no degradation.
The flatbed fax has a number of useful features including fax forwarding, auto-redial, broadcasting of up to 20 locations, distinctive ring detection, and more. 60 of your most often used numbers can be stored into speed dial memory for quick access, while a transmission memory of up to 55 pages ensures that you won't miss important faxes, even when your paper tray runs out.
The scanner has an optical resolution of 600 x 1,200 dpi (9,600 dpi enhanced) with 36-bit color depth, providing bright, true-to-original reproduction. Installation is easy with a USB port connecting to either Mac or PC systems. The PSC 950 also comes backed with a one-year limited manufacturer's warranty.
Create more with the versatile HP PSC 950 printer/scanner/copier/fax flatbed. Plus print photos directly from your digital camera memory card (CompactFlash, SmartMedia, and Sony Memory Stick)--all with one compact product. This is HP's first all-in-one with direct photo printing, so you can print directly from your digital camera's CompactFlash, SmartMedia, or Sony Memory Stick, even without a computer.
Photos and color graphics look their best, with up to 2,400 x 1,200 dpi color color resolution on premium photo paper. Plus, when you're in a hurry, HP's enhanced Color Layering Technology from Photoret III gives the same exceptional print quality as 2,400 x 1,200 dpi, but faster. Scan documents or 3D objects with up to 600 x 1,200 dpi optical resolution (9,600 dpi enhanced) in 36-bit color. OCR software saves re-typing hardcopy documents for electronic editing. Make up to 99 copies from one original. Setup is fast and simple, with USB connectivity for PCs and Mac. Printer cable not included.
Street Price: $200.00
PC WORLD.com Editors' review:
With its new PSC 950 all-in-one, Hewlett-Packard is targeting budding digital photographers who want a printer that does more than just print.
Available now for $399, the 950 packs not only a four-color ink jet printer, but a high-quality scanner that lets you scan, copy, and even fax documents (via a built-in modem). Special slots also accept CompactFlash, SmartMedia, or a Sony Memory stick, so you can move images straight from your camera to the printer, bypassing your PC altogether.
Traditionally, all-in-one products have been geared toward home offices, but HP aims its PSC directly at consumers, says George Brasher, HP's all-in-one product manager. He says this device doesn't force those customers to compromise quality for convenience and space savings--a longstanding criticism of multifunction devices.
HP: Serious Printing
The device builds on HP standard technology, Brasher says.
"The 950 has our best-quality [ink jet] printing engine," he says. It's the same engine HP uses in its DeskJet 970 ink jet printer and its PhotoSmart P1000, he says. That means it can print images at 2400 by 1200 dots per inch, which makes it great for regular print jobs as well as photos. The unit has two paper trays: one for standard 8.5-by-11-inch office paper, and one for 4-by-6-inch photo paper.
According to HP, the 950 prints black and white pages at 12 pages per minute and full-color pages at 10 pages per minute. (However PC World's lab tests show that rated speeds generally surpass real-world printing speeds.)
The 950's scanner offers 600 by 1200 dpi optical scanning resolution, with 9600-dpi enhanced resolution and 36-bit color. HP includes optical character recognition software with the package.
While HP didn't design the 950 for a heavy faxing load, it's fine for limited faxing, Brasher says. Because it's a flat-bed scanner, it is really only practical to send short faxes of two or three pages, since you have to load in a single page at a time. However, the unit can receive an unlimited number of fax pages without hassle, he notes.
Easy Photo Printing
In addition to its 4-by-6-inch photo-paper tray, the 950 offers several other niceties for digital camera aficionados. Most noticeable: the three slots for digital media.
All you have to do is take your digital media out of your camera--regardless of whether its CompactFlash, SmartMedia, or Sony's Memory stick--and insert it into the right slot, he says. The 950 then prints a proof sheet of thumbnail-sized photos residing on the media.
You take that sheet and fill in the spots next to the photos you want to print. On the same piece of paper, you fill in the paper type, size, and number of copies you want. Place that sheet on the 950's scanner, press a button, and the device reads the sheet and gets to work. You never have to touch your PC during the process, he says.
