Printer HP DeskJet 2050: reviews, instructions. How do I fill in the HP DeskJet 2050?

One of the cheapest on the domestic market, the HP DeskJet 2050 multifunctional device has maintained its leading position in sales and positive customer reviews for many years. Why is it so popular among the owners of this nondescript printer at first glance? In this article, the reader will get acquainted with the unique MFP, learn its characteristics, functionality and capabilities.

Built forever

HP is positioning its brainchild in the segment of low-cost budget devices, which causes fear among many potential buyers who want to buy a reliable printer for home use. After all, the price, which does not exceed 5000 rubles, does not look serious for the full-featured color HP Deskjet 2050 multifunction device. After more careful study of the buyer's printing equipment, a lot of questions will arise, which even the representatives of the manufacturer can not answer. In fact, the printer is ideal. Its capabilities and technical characteristics are not much inferior to expensive printing plants intended for home use. But first things first.

Features of the complete set

The usual looking box with the device has a very interesting complete set: HP DeskJet 2050, user manual, disks with programs and drivers, manufacturer's recommendations for color palette adjustment, cartridges, several sheets of photo paper and a shopping bag. And if all listed elements can be considered a standard bundle of any MFP, then there are many questions to the presence of bags in the box of users.

It turns out that the manufacturer wished the owners of the MFPs to easily transport the device. Quite a strange decision, given that the printer is for home use. Many owners in their reviews joke about the leadership of HP regarding the movement of the printer from one room to another and back.

Build quality

Externally, the device looks cumbersome, and many users have a feeling that the design is about to collapse, because when printing, the MFP literally jumps on the table. The light weight (3 kg) of the HP DeskJet 2050 printer is to blame for this. The owners' feedback assures that the problem is easily solved when installing the MFP on a thin rubber mat. It is this strangeness of the device that causes a negative for all users.

There are no complaints about the quality of the printer assembly - everything is perfectly matched to each other, the latches do not break, the plastic is not branded, all the covers open without much effort. Internal elements are also fixed soundly and there are no prerequisites that some component will fail. Unless all the MFPs vibrate strongly when printing - the manufacturer chased the speed of applying paint on paper, forgetting about the convenience of the user.

HP DeskJet 2050 Unresolved Potential

The most important indicator for all printers is the maximum resolution, which would not be confirmed by advertising in the media. After all, the smaller the dot on a sheet of paper, the better the image will be when printing. The HP DeskJet 2050 printer transfers ink to paper at 1200x4800 dots per inch. Devoted to the technology, users will agree that this is sufficient for printing photos of medium quality.

An important factor is the number of colors in the printhead. This printer has four, which once again hints to the future owner for printing not only text and pictures of an entertaining nature, but also a photo on specialized paper. Quite interesting is the speed of printing - 16 pages per minute in monochrome, and 4 sheets per minute for color printing.

Multifunctionality of the device

Optical scanning resolution 1200 dots per inch can not be called high-quality. For such a technology implementation, the manufacturer can put a negative evaluation. This is probably the only drawback that the HP DeskJet 2050 deserves. After all, the factory could have guessed that the user would need to make a blueprint of a quality photo in color. On the other hand, low-cost technology has reduced the price of the device itself.

In addition, the user is available all the functionality of the MFP: scanning, copying, printing. A powerful processor and a large amount of RAM (128 MB) are responsible for high performance. The possibility of creating blueprints without connecting the printer to the computer is also an advantage. It is an independent device.

Spacecraft Control

A simple at first glance, the MFP has very complex print quality settings - this is clearly a flaw in the HP DeskJet 2050 printer. The instruction in the kit makes it clear, but again everything is described superficially. Therefore, users who want to print high quality photos will have to select the correct settings for the device by trial and error.

Professionals recommend to install the full package of programs and drivers supplied with the printer in their reviews, otherwise they will not be able to get to fine-tuning the MFP using the operating system. The benefit of the manufacturer has implemented a system of profiles that can be configured and saved on the computer's disk.

Hidden capabilities of IFIs

Working with profiles opens a wide range of possibilities not only for ordinary users, but for creative personalities. The HP DeskJet 2050 Multifunction Printer can be made to produce the right colors when printing. The truth for this is to go deeper into the settings of color profiles. To ensure that the image on the screen is fully consistent with the photo on paper, it is recommended to purchase a monitor with an IPS matrix, otherwise all actions with a fine tuning of 48 million shades will not lead to the desired result.

The declared density of paper for use in the printer is 65-156 grams per square meter. Quite acceptable indicators both for printing on conventional offset sheets, and for photographic paper. But, judging by the opinions of professionals, from the sheet feeder to the exit of paper from the printer, the media is practically not deformed (as is the case with laser devices, when the rolls distort the sheet when fed into the oven). This feature of the printer allows you to print on thick cardboard sheets - 280 grams per square meter for this MFP is not a problem.

Savings should be economical

The weak link for all inkjet printers is the cost of consumables. This problem did not pass around the owners of HP DeskJet 2050 multifunction devices. How to fill cartridges with minimal financial costs? Professionals in the field of office equipment and printing assure in their responses that without a system of continuous supply of ink (CISS) here can not do. However, this solution automatically removes the printer from the warranty. The user has to decide whether to buy expensive cartridges that stand as half of the printer, or provide themselves with CISS for years to come.

In the domestic market of supplies for HP Deskjet 2050 inkjet printers, the user can face one problem. The manufacturer's brand colors are very expensive, and cheap analogues offered by Chinese companies quickly dry out in the print head nozzles (4-6 days). Of all the available ink in the CIS markets, only the Ukrainian company Patron managed to create high-quality paint that is suitable for all HP devices and is capable of drying up to 14 days.

Finally

The opinion of the HP DeskJet 2050 printer is twofold. On the one hand, this is one of the cheapest on the market of multifunction devices with printing photos in high quality. Working with color profiles, various settings, interesting equipment, printing on cardboard - all this clearly refers to the merits of the MFP. On the other hand, the printer jumping on the table and the eerie sound of the working printheads have a strong effect on the nerves during operation. It is necessary to make some modifications (the manufacturer could simply cut the bottom of the case of the multifunction device), to come up with designs for making the device heavier. And with the colors the question remains open, because the choice of ink, in fact, is small. In any case, the potential buyer will have to choose for himself what is more important for him - the price with quality or convenience.
