The 1050 Deskjet HP is an excellent multifunctional device based on inkjet printing technology. The key advantages of this model are the high quality of the output documents and the low cost of consumables. It is this universal solution that will be discussed in this article.
Positioning. Equipment
Of course, the HP Deskjet 1050A printer belongs to entry-level solutions both in technical specifications and in cost. The reviews of the owners of this product only once again confirm. This device is perfect for organizing a subsystem of scanning, copying and printing at home, in a small office or even in a small workgroup. In all other cases, it will be necessary to additionally purchase a printing device that will complement the solution in question. The list of configuration in this case is as follows:
MFP
Interface wire for the implementation of switching to a PC.
Power cord.
A disk with an electronic version of the documentation for a multifunction device and a set of drivers.
The paper version of the instruction manual.
Set of starter ink cartridges.
Warranty card.
Formats Page density requirements. Performance
The standard and typical list of supported formats boasts 1050 Deskjet HP. It includes the main and most common A4 (the maximum possible page size in this case), A5, DL, B5 and even A6. Also, this multifunction device can print photos with dimensions of 130 x 180 mm and 100 x 150 mm. Rather stringent requirements are put forward for paper weight. Its minimum value is 60 g / m 2 . As a result, it can be noted that it is unacceptable to print on newsprint or insufficiently thick paper because the printer may break. The maximum value in this case is 280 g / m 2 , this MFP can print on whatmani, glossy or matte photo paper. In the monochromatic printing mode, you can get 5.5 pages on this universal product for a minute, and 4 in color. For the black and white mode, the resolution of the output document is 1200 x 1200, and for color - 4800 x 1200. When copying and scanning, the resolution will be equal to 1200 x 1200.
Communications. Drivers
A modest and quite standard communication list for this class of devices is equipped with an HP Deskjet 1050 MFP. More specifically, the developers have provided only one wired connection method - USB. Its recommended version for this case is 2.0. But it can also work quite successfully in conjunction with modifications of this interface 1.0, 1.1 (in this case, the performance of the multifunction device in printer or scanner mode will decrease slightly) and 3.0 (when connected to such a port, the latter’s speed capabilities will not be fully used) . Also, if you have a conductor and additional drivers, you can connect the solution in question to a USB revision 3.1. Again, with this connection, the functions of the scan and print server are assigned to the computer to the port of which such an MFP is connected. A fairly “modest" list of drivers boasts the universal solution in question. This list contains only two families of operating systems: Windows and MacOS. In all other cases, problems may arise with the docking of the MFP and the personal computer system software.
Cost. Owner reviews
1050 Deskjet HP is an entry-level solution; it cannot be expensive by default. At the moment, it can be purchased at a price of 4000-4500 rubles. Given the specifications, speed and capabilities of this device, this is quite an adequate cost. HP Deskjet 1050A MFPs have strengths. Reviews of specialists and owners focus on such ones:
The disadvantages of this MFP are:
These two shortcomings are not so critical and more than offset by a more impressive list of positive points.
Summary
A worthy representative of the entry-level MFP line was 1050 Deskjet HP . It is perfect for those cases when advanced requirements are imposed on print quality and you need to display a relatively small amount of documentation over the course of a month.
