Amazon.co.uk Review
You get top-class colour pictures from the HP Deskjet 940c Colour Printer. This inkjet is designed for those looking for a little something extra from their printer. The 940c certainly looks rather fetching. The paper tray sits underneath the output tray which helps keep things compact. It has what all printers should have, a one-touch cancel button. There's nothing as frustrating as watching your printer chew needlessly through ink and paper because you mistakenly selected "Print". The 940c is aimed at those looking for high-quality output and is capable of a very impressive printing resolution of 1,200 by 2,400. This is wasted however on normal paper, like all inkjets you need to match it with special photo paper. The results are excellent, crisp and with accurate graduated colour tones. Even without special paper the 940c manages a notably superior output. Black text is good too, although the printer has clearly been aimed at producing colour graphics over black text. The excellent colour images will eat through your ink cartridges though, so it is worth saving the highest resolutions for when you really need them. Printing speed is only average, generally not a problem with home use where a minute or two extra isn't a big issue. The results are certainly well worth waiting for anyway. HP has an impressive "Getting Started CD-ROM" which goes through each step making it easy for a novice to get up and running. The software interface looks basic, HP has kept things simple, but it does all the tricks you expect of a modern colour printer such as printing posters and you've a full range of adjustments under the "Advanced options" tab. As well as delivering high-quality output, the 940c has been designed to cope with a more demanding workload. If you're main area of concern is outputting the best possible colour images then HP's 940c has to be high on your list of candidates. --
