HP Deskjet printer buying guide

Usually, laser printers are good for rapid, black and white print jobs. If you do not need to efficiently print a lot of black and white jobs, then I would go with one of several alternatives: a printer that prints high-quality AND grayscale images at a reasonable pace and which can be bought for an affordable price, an inkjet printer. The term “deskjet” is just a proprietary name invented by HP with the intention of being associated with Inkjet technology printing. If you want very high-quality, color images that are produced in a continous tone, then probably, you would want a dye-sublimation printer, which are becoming more and more affordable.
Since you are intending to use a printer for a short period of time, I would go with an inkjet printer; it will be able to print high-quality images in color AND in grayscale. I would recommend either an HP Deskjet series printer or, if you have money to squander, an HP Photosmart series printer. Usually, laser printers that print in color are quite expensive, but you may be able to find one for around the same price as an HP Photosmart printer, which are probably the best Inkjet printers on the market. Also, the HP Photosmart printers have many more capabilities than a stand alone color printer.
It all comes down to what you want to spend and whether or not you need a printer for color, black/white, and/or grayscale print jobs. A laser printer would be more for dedicated use and for rapid print jobs, but you only need a printer for a short period of time. If you want to do black and white print jobs, then buy a cheap laser printer; you can find some for under one hundred dollars. If you want high quality color print jobs for a cheap price, then go with an HP Deskjet printer; laser printers that print high quality, color jobs are expensive.

Epson Stylus DX8400 All-in-One Printer vs Hewlett Packard PhotoSmart C4180 All In One Printer / Scanner / Copier. I understand the HP is about £4 cheaper but also to be fair please could you also tell me the running costs (i.e cartridges prices etc) and the ease of usability?

If you are going to take print outs very frequently then go for Laser printer (Costly but good for plenty prints)
In Deskjet printers, all the model nos. are just for fancy. The catridges are the same. Some may come with scanner & copier. Choose your like. It is OK if you are going to take printouts once in a while.
Deskjet catridges will eat more money. Printer will be only Rs.5000,but the catridge will be Rs.1500 for it to be replaced.
