The HP Deskjet 1050 All-in-One is ideal for those home computer users who want to do more than just print out photos, documents and pictures. This printer allows you to do a lot more than just basic printing. It’s one of the better every day home office printers and is available from good technology outlets such as Rymans. It allows printing, scanning and copying.

This printer is stylish, compact and affordable. It’s great for home offices because it can sit on a desk or slot into other cabinets and pull-out drawers. The set up is incredibly easy as the instructions are written simply, without jargon. This printer can print in black up to 600dpi, in colour up to 4800x1200dpi and really is excellent quality. Sharp and clear, there are no bleed lines or smudging. The printer’s controls are intuitive and this allows for easy printing, so no messing around under tables! The printer also prints in colour brilliantly, as demonstrated when printing out photos, which print out perfectly – no stray pixels or colour overlays.

Copying and scanning is just as easy, and it is possible to scan pages from books effectively – often the benchmark for judging whether a scanner is worth its salt. This is great for those who need to photocopy a lot, such as students and those who work from home. It scans quickly and the image appears on screen in a matter of seconds.

The printer does not come with a USB cable, but as long as you are aware of this before you buy it, it is quite simple to go ahead and buy one. A massive plus point for this product is that it is energy efficient; it powers up very quickly and shuts down instantly, so is wonderfully green and eco-conscious. Black and colour cartridges are supplied allowing you to start printing straight away. Very highly recommended.
