CISS - HP F4280

HP F4280 With CISS

Generally, HP F4280 is a good 3 in 1 printer in terms of its printing speed & its resolution. F4280 prinitng speed up to 26 ppm for black & 20 ppm for color. The resolution is 4800 x 1200. Yet, its scanning resolution up to 1200 x 2400 dpi.

While, here goes another story behind F4280...The printer is using HP60 [CC640WA] for black and Tri-color cartridge with the code of HP60 [CC643WA]. From the specification provided by the manufacturer, the black cartridge page yield is 200 pages & 165 pages for the color cartridge. Both cartridges cost around RM60.00 / cartridge. It sounds to be not much pages that you can made from each of the cartridge, thus, HP does come with an alternative for those who requires bigger ink volume. The CC641WA (Black), manufacrturer claims that it can print up to 600 pages and CC644WA ( Tri-Color) up to 440 pages. Oh! Sounds to be much more compared to the previous. Well, that's why manufacturer names both the cartridge to be XL. Of course, there is no free lunch in this world, you need to a little bit more for these 2 XL cartridges. Opss..i forget to clarify that those figures claimed by the manufacturer are based on certain kind of measurement/print out. So, dont expect to get up to the fugure if you are printing something that consumes more ink, such as full page of photo.

So, after all of this..what do you think when you purchase such a good printer which costs you around RM 200.00. Dont think much..let go for CISS.
