HP Officejet 5742 Printer Review
Our expert review of the HP 5742 printer
Our expert analysis & summary:
The in-house printer experts here at IJT Direct think the HP DeskJet 5742 is an ideal all-in-one printer for home and small business use. With printing, scanning, copying and faxing capabilities, this printer can perform all of the tasks you need in a home and in a small office environment. The printers’ wireless connection and compact design mean it can achieve high quality prints as well as offering connectivity for multiple users
Our thoughts on DesignThe HP 5742 comes in a black plastic glossy finish and is equipped with a 6.75cm colour touch screen control panel on the front, a flatbed scanner and an automatic document feeder (ADF). This compact printer weighs a little under 8kg, has a small footprint and features a 125 sheet paper tray which can take A4 paper up to 90 g/m² and photo paper up to 250 g/m².
Main Printer AdvantagesAs well as wireless, network, NFC and USB connectivity, the 5742 has a SD card port neatly hidden on the front of the printer allowing you to print directly from a SD card. This compact home printer also has a 25 sheet ADF which will speed up any multi-page jobs and also save you paper at the same time. Mobile printing is especially easy on the OfficeJet 5742.
Main Printer DisadvantagesThe main limiting feature of the OfficeJet 5742 is the printing speed. Compared to others it is relatively slow and produces up to 12ppm in mono and 8ppm in colour. In addition the scan facility is quite basic, it doesn’t offer auto-exposure and struggles to scan images at high resolutions.
Running costs - Are the inks good value for money?In short no, the inks for the HP OfficeJet 5742 are not good value for money especially when replacing with original HP cartridges. The main reason being this printer is a 2 ink system so you have to replace the whole tri-colour cartridge every time you run out of just one colour. However, the running costs can be greatly reduced by purchasing our high quality IJT Direct branded inkjets; you can get great value high yield cartridges at low prices. Buy from IJT online, the best printer ink in Britain.
