A Review of Hewlett Packard's DeskJet 722C Printer

Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

The DeskJet 722C printer has impressed me with its exceptional photo quality, compact size, easy envelope-feeding system, and near-silent operation. At a price of around $300, this printer is ideal for home or small-office use. Its ability to produce high-quality images is due in part to HP's incorporation of Kodak's image-enhancement technology and the development of special paper for photo prints.

Key Takeaways:

  • The DeskJet 722C printer produces tremendous output at a reasonable price, around $300 in stores.
  • The printer's compact size is a significant advantage, with a footprint not much larger than the output tray when installed.
  • The envelope-feeding system is one of the easiest to use on any printer, allowing for quick printing of envelopes.
  • The printer operates near-silently, making it ideal for use in home or office environments.
  • The print quality is stellar, with both monochrome and color documents printed to an exceptionally high standard.
  • The printer takes a few seconds for heavier black letters to dry, but this does not affect the overall print quality.
  • The printer's development is part of a larger trend of new printers entering the market, as companies such as Epson America and Canon Computers Systems Inc. also release new models.

Statistics:

  • The price of the DeskJet 722C printer is around $300 in stores.
