HP Deskjet 1050 Printer Review

Expert review of the HP Deskjet 1050 printer

Our Verdict:

Whether you're printing large text documents, scanning old holiday snaps or photocopying articles, the HP 1050 inkjet printer has it covered. The all-in-one Deskjet 1050 has a great spec at an even greater price. With a built in photocopier and a high quality scanner, the 1050 is the ultimate home office companion. The inkjet printer is at the lower end of the market but don't let this put you off as the print quality is second-to-none.

Design

HP won't win any design awards for the 1050. The matte-black printer is classically designed with a stand-up paper feed tray at the back and output tray at the front, both of which can be folded away if you are short on space or need to transport the printer. The top of the printer has black and colour photocopy buttons and an on/off switch. There are also three orange indicators, two for low ink and one for paper out. The HP 1050 printer is the perfect size for any bedroom or home office and is easily portable if you need to move it around.

Advantages

Despite its price, the print quality of the HP 1050 is fantastic. Plain text documents look great - characters look clear and sharp even when using smaller font sizes. Draft documents aren't dotty and only show slight fuzz. Colour graphics are bright and true to colour thanks to the high quality HP 1050 ink cartridge. Photo print is also of a reasonable quality, although not as vibrant as some its rivals. If you are after fantastic print quality on a budget then look no further!

Disadvantages

One of the downfalls of the HP 1050 is the print speed. At just 5 pages per minute for black and 4 pages per minute for colour, the HP is not ideal if you want to print large documents or find yourself printing regularly. The lack of wireless connectivity may also pose a problem, especially if you have a number of devices you want to connect from.
