| Gov9's Full Review: Compaq Inkjet IJ600 Printer |
I would have never even thought of buying a printer from Compaq. That is why I am amazed at how good this printer is. I got it, like most people, in one of Compaq's computer package deals. I was expecting your lowest of the low printer, but the black print quality is quite good. Black printing is basically all I use the printer for and it has always come out perfect. I just like for my printer to be fast, have decent quality, and never have any complications. This fits all the criteria, well at least for the four months I have used it.
I use the quick print option quite often and the quality would be just fine for most users. Compared to my old Hewlett-Packard (which was just awful), I hope this printer will last me my next two years of college.
For college students, I would definitely recommend it. It fits nicely on the top shelf of my desk. It prints fine on just basic copier paper. I see that it is only priced at $100. The biggest plus is the black print cartridge seems to last a long time. I haven't had to replace it yet. Also, Compaq has finally switched to just letting use a basic Lexmark cartridge in their printers.
As far as color printing, I don't do a lot of it. It has the dual cartridge so you don't have to switch cartridges if you want a color document. What I have printed in color, I would say is below average. So, if you are interested in that get a more expensive printer. But overall, the low-price printer market is huge and this Compaq printer has to be near the top of the pack.
