HP Deskjet F380 All-in-One Review - Most Costly Printer:
A printer is always necessary whether you are a student or in a profession, from a basic Irctc tickets printout to printing out a colourful photo from your family albums archive.
A photo can express more than 1000 words can do at an instance, so I needed a document as well as photo printer at an economical budget price of Rs. 5000 to Rs. 6000.
I had eventually found one then a few years back and that was my HP Deskjet F380 All-in-One printer. Laser printer at that time was very costly & only available at a huge price range.
My father and I were pretty comfortable with the choice made, but hardly could we guess that after the warranty period is over the machine will start behaving abnormal, starting from ink level indication to refilling compatibility all seems wrong. Well, to put a disclaimer that we are not Tata’s or Birla’s, so don’t ever expect that once the machine cause trouble it’s time to throw it away(laughs.), it hurts, to be honest, and with the policy of HP that you can’t get quality or it degrades when ink cartridges refilled.
Well, is it possible to get new cartridges of different colour tones of black n white, tricolour as well as photo colour cartridges for photo printing? Trust me summing up all of it cost more than 3000 to 3500 and it will hardly last less than a month for a regular user.
To my opinion, these Hp inkjet model printers are the costliest than all the other brands in the Indian market, Epson by far seems to be much economical in price.
