User Reviews for HP Deskjet 5740 Inkjet Printer

  • Reviewed by: wuweilian

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: This Printer has it all. The HP Deskjet 5740 is extremely fast and reliable. It senses the paper type automaticly and even tells you which ink cartrage is out. Great price for a great product Quiet, nicely built. Very beautiful and streamlined

    Weaknesses: Power Brick, but other than that nothin really. No USB cable was included requires a B/A cable

    Overall Evaluation: If you have cats that like to play on your computer desk make sure that you put the tray up after you're done with it as enough weight can break it off as it is on the front and has a front paper tray.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Fast, print quality is good.

    Weaknesses: Printer is fairly large. Supplies are expensive.

    Overall Evaluation: This is a great general purpose light volume printer. The print quality, like most of the newer HP DeskJet printers is very good in both black and color. The printer is a little large for an inkjet, but it isn't unreasonable. The only problem is that the print cartriges (like most other ink printers) are quite expensive and don't last very long; but I believe they do contain about twice as much ink as the 92/93 series cartridges that some of the other newer HP printers use. I'd try to avoid any of the HP printers that use the 92/93 cartridges.
