Ink cartridges not supplied, Awkward direct printing
At its heart, the HP Photosmart C5280 uses exactly the same printing system as HPs Officejet J5780.However, the similarity ends there, because the C5280 foregoes office functions like auto document feeding and standalone fax, in favour of more photo-f...
Abstract: Good ingredients fail to make it tasty. Not as good in practice as it ought to be. HPs stylish C5280 has a 2.4 inch colour display that gives you access not only to direct printing from memory cards, but also to a full range of maintenance and cle...
The HP Photosmart C5280's mediocre speed and sparse connectivity options restrict it to a small or home office. Those users, however, will enjoy a highly capable, easy-to-use device with excellent photo output. Melissa Riofrio Lowest online price: ££9...
Abstract: HPs latest All-in-One printer, the Photosmart C5280 has just hit the dealers shelves and as you might expect from HP, it ticks most of the right boxes. Its a 4800 x 1200dpi inkjet with built-in 4800dpi A4 flatbed scanner. It has a 2.4in colour LCD p...

Relatively fast. Scans, copies, e-mails through PC. Scans to memory card. Prints on printable optical discs.
No built-in fax. No automatic document feeder. Text quality is way below par.
Clearly designed for home use, the HP Photosmart C5280 All-In-One does a good job with graphics and photo quality (but not text) and prints on optical discs.
Abstract: The market for all-in-one printers – which scan, copy and print from memory cards – is, by most measures, mature. Print quality of both plain paper documents and photos is sufficient for most home and small-business needs and the essential functions are a...
Inexpensive; great graphics and photo print quality; excellent color scan quality; can print on specially coated optical discs; dedicated photo paper tray; low print costs; Roxio Express Labeler software is easy to use; print quality on discs is good.
Text quality needs significant improvement; photo menus need to be reorganized to be more intuitive; cant produce scannable proof sheet; cant sort memory card contents by date; lacks a PictBridge port.
Its features set is oddly unbalanced, and better all-in-one inkjet options cost just a bit more, but the HP Photosmart C5280 is a good bet for casual home users on a tight budget.
