| alexapearl's Full Review: Hewlett Packard OfficeJet d145 InkJet Printer |
I can now say, after 1.5 years of very little use, this product is not robust. Sure, when I researched the reviews back then things were positive. HP products, in general, do not last long. I have proof both at work and at home with several different models of laser and ink jet units stacked in the corner waiting to be pitched. I will say that the laser products of the past were much more robust.
My specific problems with this machine are poor paper handling, lousy construction of the paper tray itself, and severe inking system problems if the printer has not been used for even a month. Why blow $50 on both black and color carts because you haven't gotten around to printing those pictures of yours? That's basically what you need to do because it will take all the ink in your existing carts to clean-out the passages! Even after 10 or so cleaning sessions, my printer still is not capable of producing a decent photo. In fact, forget I even mentioned photos because this unit is not suitable AT ALL!
