HP Deskjet 3820 Review

by Dan Littman

- WHAT'S HOT: The 3820 produced realistic-looking gray-scale photos, and gave color graphics and glossy photos good detail. It printed narrow parallel lines with only a bit of distortion.

User Reviews for HP Deskjet 3820 InkJet Printer (HP-C8952AA2L)

Reviewed by: Camillya

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Was cheap, worked pretty good first year.

Weaknesses: Randomly prints pages diagonally. Quality of print has diminished even though ink cartridges were halfway full. Paper gets stuck A LOT.

Overall Evaluation: The shelf life on this printer is crap. I have to fuss with the paper time and time again to get it to print correctly. Not worth the hassle. I know it's time to replace it by now, but still. I didn't use it for a year and a half, so it's not normal wear and tear. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I give up already.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: small and compact, uses #15 Ink

Weaknesses: not reliable, will break down in less than a year.

Overall Evaluation: I purchased 45 of these for my job to replace some legacy printers and found out that many of them started breaking down without reason. Change ink cartrigde, break down, printer = break down, etc... This happened in less than a year after purchase. The legacy printers have been in use for years and have not failed. This is a poor quality product and I do not recommend it for anyone (personal or business use). I recommend you purchase the HP 6540 printer, so far those have not had any problems.
