Hp deskjet 3545 Aio printer is good for someone if one buys for non commercial use or personal use.It has many features.
Installation: driver installation for usb is easy but if you have router and wants to connect the printer via router and via routers hotspot directly without router then you have to install the driver thrice.once for usb use.again for direct connectivity to router using routers inbuilt WiFi.finallt through the router
Print: print quality is very good .It uses hp 678 cartridge which is costly.With a full black cartridge it can print around 80 -120 pages with normal print quality and much more with draft quality
But colour print just printed around 40-50 pages and 17 -25 pages with full page colour printing
Photo printing: photo printing quality is very good but it does not support 240 gsm or 200 gsm a4 glossy paper I even take printer to customer care but they said it prints best when gsm is under 150 though I printed a lot in 200 gsm 4* 6 glossy paper and there is no problem. Its actually a basic photo printer.but the quality is very good
Scan : with small lcd display you can scan documents and jpgs to your computer but can't change the resolution you have to change your resolution through computer only.
Some exceptiontional features
- Duplex printing automatically prints on both sides
2.if scanning in jpg mode and put five 4* 6 photo paper to scan it can scan and save 5 photos by different names its really an awesome feature.
3.it has WiFi to connect to router or modem but it also has WiFi Hotspot so you can connect through it directly with mobile hp app and plugin installed and print scan photo print super easily.
4.it has some tools that let you print notebook graph calender etc directly from the lcd display menu its pretty healthy for a student
5 the power cord and usb cord is standard size and power consumption is very low and it has a auto sleep mode
- Copy function is very useful u can select light normal and bright option photo size , scale fit to page or actual size or custom size , both side or same side , new feature like I'd card copy etc
Cons
1.for copy a4 page if you select actual size the page may not copy fully u have to select fit in page option except for id card like pan voter card
2.gsm problem for photo paper a4 size
3.some installation driver problem through WiFi
4.everytime u change cartridge or just open it u have to print a alignment page and scan it properly or u have to print alignment page every single time u start the printer but every time u can just cancel the print by pressing cancel on display monitor
5.print speed if draft and normal selected is ok but when best quality printing its very slow and specially for photo printing it extremely slow
6.It became almost hanging when you print directly something online I.e printing an email it tooks almost 1 min on normal quality from My smartphone hp print app standing right in front of printer
Though it has some cons but its really a awesome printer print quality is very good because it does not depend on printer but depends on cartrdige hp 678 is a average size cardrige.service and support is very helpful either on phone or in service centre.
I would definitely recommend someone for buying it for personal use and if he ready to go for refilling it is very good for commercial use too.
Most important paper jam problem can be easily solved via notification on the display menu .
