HP DeskJet 450 review

Wednesday 29 October 2003, 8:49 AM

cannot handle photo paper

I have the DeskJet less then a year and I have already had it replaced. It is fine for normal paper or high-resolution paper, but after a few prints with photo paper (specifically HP photo paper was used), it just ceased. It made some incredible noises, but I can still print normal paper but NO photopaper. I will again contact HP and expect the printer to be replaced, but I have no confidence now to print anything other than normal paper.

I bought it because I do travel a lot, however it has not been worth it and wished I had never bought it.

Verdict

The DeskJet 450 is compact, and battery power allows you to use it in unlikely places. However, despite its good print quality, it's neither a budget printer, nor the fastest way of printing photos.
