HP DeskJet 2630

The brainchild of Hewlett-Packard with the model index 2630 belongs to the category of classics of the family of 3-in-1 printers, offering good functionality without compromising the thickness of the wallet.

Outstanding abilities

The device is capable of producing from its "inside" up to 20 text pages in monochrome printing mode or 16 colour sheets per unit of time generally accepted for calculations — 1 min. It's about the print options. Other actions — scanning at a resolution of 1200x1200 dpi and copying documents or photos — the MFP does not perform so quickly, but with the same thorough study, which allows you to get a high-quality result.

Printing "by air"

The model can be used both as an appendage to a PC, connecting to it via a USB cable, and as an original device, printing documents "over the air". For these purposes, in the whitish case of the MFP, diluted with blue inserts, there is a Wi-Fi module. To perform wireless printing, you will need to install the proprietary HP Smart app on your connected mobile device.

Reasonable Compromises

Since we have a low-cost model in front of us, it was not possible to do without compromises. The negative features of the MFP include the lack of the ability to print without margins, which inevitably leaves white indents on the printed photographs, and the extremely low life of cartridges “out of the box” (120 pages in black and white and 100 sheets in colour, in fact even less). In addition, the colour cartridge in the assets of the device is inseparable and if it runs out of one ink, the entire cassette is requested for replacement or refilling. However, these shortcomings are not so critical, especially against the background of the democratic price of the HP DeskJet 2630 — a colour inkjet printer, a flatbed scanner and a copier, combined in one body.
