Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Bringing vivid colors and crisp detail to the home desktop, the HP Deskjet 640C is an ideal tool for creating bright report covers, fabulous scrapbook pages, and impressive statistical charts. With average speeds of 3 ppm for color and 5 ppm for monochrome, it may not be as fast as you're used to atthe office, but its 600 x 600 dpi resolution, flexible paper handlingoptions, and reasonable price are tailor-made for family use.

With the Deskjet 640C, you'll be able to print everything from specialparty invitations with matching envelopes to legal-sized reports, alongwith transparencies, business envelopes, and index cards. A simple 1284IEEE parallel connection is the only hookup required, and the 17-by-16-by-8-inch size allows it to fit easily even into crowded apartments. Hewlett Packard also includes a 90-day warranty on parts and labor.

The HP 640C is user friendly. To set up is quick and easy....It performs very smooth, delivering high quality professional images with rich consistent even color. Whether your printing letters, reports or web pages, it's speed is quite impressive. My 640C is part of my home-office system, and gets its share of work. It has never let me down. The HP Deskjet 640C Printer "Delivers" every time!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not completely reliable, March 12, 2005

We've had this printer for a couple years and it works okay for the most part but it has bad days. If I need to print more than 1 document, it will jam or, rather, just stop printing mid-paper. Repeatedly. When I try to reset the printer, it will then kick out nonstop sheets of paper with nonsense letters and syllables at the top of each of the pages. The only way to stop it is to turn off the printer and then reboot the computer. That doesn't always work though.

When the printer is working, the print quality is good and seems to be able to print out professional pages. However, its not always reliable. (It sure would teach a lesson to a college student who waited last minute to write a paper!)

This printer has wonderful color presentation, but, the memory is alittle short. It allows you to print short documents of the internet, and email with no problem, but lengthly documents need an HP with more memory. But, I like it. It will suffice for now.
