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.

Street Price of HP DeskJet 648C: $55.00
PCWORLD.com Editors' review: WHAT'S HOT: At $119, the DeskJet 648C is one of HP's
few budget ink jets. Given its price, this unit's text quality was
surprisingly high, with clear black letters that were legible even at
small sizes. The 648C also printed detailed gray-scale graphics and
accurate, crisp parallel lines. It was also easy to set up and use. WHAT'S NOT: The DeskJet 648C didn't print color
graphics as well as it did gray-scales. Colors and shading were rich
enough, but much of the detail disappeared, and images showed an
unpleasant gritty texture, even on glossy paper. Other inexpensive ink
jets, such as the $99 Lexmark Z32, beat this HP model on performance:
The DeskJet 648C was terribly slow, running at only 1.9 pages per minute
on text and 0.3 ppm on graphics, while the Z32 printed text at a less
penurious 2.5 ppm. WHAT ELSE: Like many of HP's ink jets, the 648C's paper
tray has a bypass slot to simplify printing a single envelope. BEST USE: You can pay less for a printer that will
satisfy the same printing needs, so we find it hard to recommend this
model to anyone.
