*Review Hp All in one 1410 Printer*​

Mulifunction devices once again dominated thier own reltives i.e printer,scanner, copier etc. An MFD consist of all the devices mentioned above even some came with bundeled fax as well as with a phone. That's why they are used more than a printer or a scanner at offices and now even at homes. So lets come to the point I had recently purchased an all in one MFD excluding fax, and phone from one of the most prestigious and excellent printer manufacturer company present in India, yes it is Hp[Hewlett Packard] which has spread its vein nearly in almost all corners of the world.

I purchased this MFD cause some times I have to print my projects scan valuable documents and makes some photo copy of different files. So the printer is quite compact and sturdy built : comes with bundled software and cables and the amazing part is that it cost very less when compared to the performance. The printer has awesome prints and in less time we get spectacular results.
So here is the Hp MFD 1410 preiview:--
The printer:-

As I already said many things abt the printer ya really this baby beats the pants of its nearest oponents i.e the other MFD's in its range. Awarded the best MFD of the world, this pinter has some awesome features and print quality.

Ordering:--

Ordering the printer was not so hectic as in my town it's still difficult to get computer parts. So this time I dont have to tear my hair cause I dont have patience regarding the odering of products. But this time I got the printer in 5 Hours after odering the dealer. Ahhh that too made me a bit impatience but I got the MFD.

Specification:--

The printer has huge list of specs lo lets take a look at different components of the printer :-

Minimum System Requirements :--

Any Intel® Pentium® II, Celeron®, or compatible processor (Pentium III or higher recommended)
128 MB RAM for 2000 and XP (256 MB or higher recommended for all operating systems)
855 MB available hard disk space for software installation (1.1 GB required on Japanese language operating systems. Full installation installs the Hagaki software. Hagaki software available for Japanese language only.)
Microsoft® Internet Explorer® 5.01 Service Pack 2 or higher.

OS Suported:--

The printer supports Microsoft® Windows® 98, 98 SE, Me, 2000 Professional Service Pack 3 or higher, XP, XP Media, or Tablet edition (does not support Windows 95, 3.1, NT® 4.0, DOS, 2003 Server, or 64-bit.)

:@ And the most notable and disgraceful feature is the it supports MAC while it does not support Linux. :rofl: Ohhh both are digraceful:P

Bundeled Accessories:--Windows CD

*Macintosh CD
*User Guide
*Setup Guide
*Print Cartridges
*Power Card and Adapter
*USB cable

Both the installation CD's consists Printer Software and also include some amazing software like Image Zone, Document Viewer, Soultion Center and so on....

Connectivity :--

As far as I know I think the printer can only be coneected to the Computer through USB 2.0 or 1.1 ports.

Print Cartridges:--

The Printer unfortunatly supports only 2 ink cartridges i.e Black and Colour viz. Red-Blue-Yellow. Oh thats what I need as I am not a professional and I am happy with the Ink Quality.

Performence :--

As far as performence is concerned the printer rocks and even I could not beleive that it could print a photograph in as less than 12-13 ppm even at higher resolution. And it can print black pages in less than 6 secs.The printer supprots A4 size paper. Maximum paper tray capacity is 100 pages.
Physical Specifications:--

*Height: 16.97 cm
*Width : 44 cm
*Depth : 25.9 cm
*Weight : 4.5 kg.

*600 x 600 dpi black.
*4800 x 1200 optimized dpi colour.

*Duty cycle: 500 pages [Avg.] 5000 pages [max]

Copy Specifications:--

*Digtal image processing.
*Up to 9 copies from original
*Fit to page
*18 copies pm black; 13 copies pm colour.

Scan specifications:--
*Image editor included.
*Integrated OCR software automatically converts sacnned text to editable text.
*Twin complaint interface.
*Resolution:- Up to 600 x 2400 dpi optical; 19200 dpi enhanced.

Price:-

The most crucial part so any guess this baby is available @ 4900 + VAT [ Value Added Tax] max of 5200 is in budget so its a right choice.

Conclusion:-

This MFD is a best buy and I will recommend it as Hp has now changed the name but it hardly matter. Keeping in mind the price and performence I give the printer 5/5 marks.:hap2:

So if u are going for MFD have a look at it or its relatives i.e other Hp series.

Wow nice crisp review... Some questions..

What is the expected cost per paper of color and BW.

Also is there a printer available with all the other config but with laser printer either BW or color ??

Did u configure it for FAX ?? Its easy to operate na ??

And some pros and cons please...

OBTW reps...
 
Good review there. I have the same printer and I love it! THough, I must say, when i bought it around a year back, I paid around 4.5k nett.

Josh said:
What is the expected cost per paper of color and BW.
It wud cost about 1.5-2 rupees if printed in draft mode. Its not for heavy duty printing. Again, depends on what cartridge u r using. If u insist on original HP cartridges, then the cpst per paper will be much higher. original HP black carts cost ~800 bucks. refilled work out at 150 bucks ;)

Disclaimer: mind u, HP wont cover warranty if u use refilled cartridges.

Josh said:

Yes, there are a few models available with fax and laser print/copy in monochrome and scan in color. prices wud be around 15k.
color laser print/copy (+ scan & fax) options are available too. prices wud be around 20k.

No fax available in this model.

[quote name='Josh']And some pros and cons please...
Pros - Economical solution; good for home use; regular document scans; occasional copier functionality.
Cons - Scan optical resolution is 36-bit only (compared to 48-bit on even a ScanJet 2400). Dont expect it to work wonders on photos u r scanning. Still, scan resolution is decent enough for photos too.
 
I dont think we get this printer now-a-days with the newer version out.... Just last week I found it wasnt available and had to buy "HP F380"...which has nearly the same features
 
i have its predecessor 1210 with me and it really suffices the need of primary printing and scanning.

i really enjoyed the footprint and ease of maintaining only one device.

copy function is really usefull for a busy professional like some times you need in urgency.

scanning function is usefull but i have not tested it much. looking to digitise my study material with it and a good ocr software.
 
The HP PSC 1410 has been replaced by the HP F380....and the Canon Pixma 150 for 4.4k beats the HP models hands down...coz canon offers a 2 yrs warranty + an extra black cartridge :D :D

Nice review :)
 
i was thinking on buyin a pSC in 3 months time...nice All in one but i plan on lookin into the canon pixma range as well...money is an issue always :) :P great review though..:)
 
Many of the members seems 2 hve the 1410!

So,can anybody upload & post the scanned photos from it ???
 
I've had really bad experiences with Inkjets in the past.

If you leave them unattended or unused for more than a month... the print quality suddenly starts to drastically fall. I guess this is because the ink tends to dry up near the head... I've had to junk atleast 4 printers in about 3 years because fo this.

I'm, considering buying the HP2600N (Color LaserJet) but before I do, I'd really like to know if Inkjet technology has changed since the last time I used it... to the extent that it still works even after extended periods without usage.
 
Id like to add that the build quality is not very good, specially for the scanner. i scanned 2 small books and some photos, and my scanner has become very noisy. i guess its not meant for heavy scanning work.
 
^^ Thanks Shashwant..for the scan!

From the looks of it, it seems a mediocore scanner!

mayb correct for home users!
