HP Deskjet 2544 All-in-One printer Review

Under 70 euros will cost the HP Deskjet 2544  quite a bit for a multi function device. Is there a hook or the HP just cheap?

Test Conclusion: You Need to Know

Surprise: The affordable hp deskjet 2544  printed properly afloat and in decent quality.Smears are available at the facilities: No fax, no zoom while copying and a fairly small tray – there just fit 50 sheets clean.

• Best online price for this product: 59,00 euros

HP Desk jet 2544 is rather aimed at casual users – that makes up for the rather spartan features noticeable: no fax, no zoom while copying and a fairly small paper tray for up to 50 sheets.

Fast color

Surprise: The affordable hp deskjet 2544 printed really fast in color and in high quality. For a photo in the standard 10×15 centimeters he needed just a minute and was not only a little bit faster than the HP Office jet Pro 6830 , but still around three times faster than the Brother DCP-J4120DW . In black and white sides of the hp deskjet 2544 was not quite as fast to work; a simple text page he printed in eight seconds.

Cumbersome facility

Print comes with the hp deskjet 2544 wireless or USB, the installation worked in the test but only if the multifunction printer was connected via USB cable to the PC. Once established, the hp deskjet 2544 runs wirelessly and can also be used with tablet or smartphone. Here HP has plenty of apps, such as HP e Print for Apple and Android .

In black and white expensive in low color

The rule of thumb “Cheaper printers, high ink costs” is only partly true for the hp deskjet 2544: With the larger XL cartridges a color page cost 14 cents, a photo in the standard 10×15 centimeters 15 cents – that’s cheap. Contrast, black and white prints were significantly more expensive than the competition: Even with the favorable XL cartridges cost the page almost 6 cents, with the standard cartridges even 7.5 cents.
