HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2020hcBlack

Very good product...very cost effective...and extremely good print quality...been using it for one year now..no complaints...

This printer is very much cost effective. You will get 300 average color prints over a Rs:525 Tri color -46 catridge. Print quality very Nice. Compatible Color catridge is available from Dubaria for Rs:435. (I didn't used that catridge. I will update this review after using it). No duplex. you can duplex a pdf with chrome browser. ( procedure for duplexing as follows: drag and drop your pdf file into a chrome window. This will make chrome to open your pdf in preview mode. Use Ctrl+P for Print command. there is an option for two side print. After one side print, chrome will ask you to turn paper bundle for other side. Do it and press OK. it will print the 2nd side) I dont know whether can refill ink. I will try and update this review.

This is my 5th HP printer and my last 4 were very costly to run, their cartridge price was comparable to a new printer and top of it their printing yield was very less ~150 pages. So, I decided to buy a new printer and narrowed down on two printers, the Epson L110 and HP 2020hc before buying this one. The reason I considered this was:- 1)It was almost Rs. 2000 cheaper than the Epson 2)It uses replaceable cartridge and was easy to maintain. (the L110 had an ink tank which always had a risk of blocking) 3)The print-head and thus the printing machinery changes to brand new each time we replace a cartridge. (it costs almost Rs. 2000 on Epson if its print-head gets blocked) PROS:- 1)Good quality 2)Very cheap to run 3)Uses the most cost effective cartridge the HP 46 4)One set of cartridges can print upto 1500 black and 750 coloured pages 4)Cartridges cost around Rs. 540 which is a genuine price 5)Good printing speed 6)Easy to set up 7)Energy efficient, switches off itself after 2 idle hours. CONS:- 1)Does not support even manual duplex printing (two side per page printing) (one star less for that) I definitely recommend this printer for its cost effectiveness but it could have some more features. And thumbs up to Flipkart who sold it to me at any excellent price of Rs 4778 (after 15% off) which was available for Rs. 5700 in the local market
