The 959C uses virtually the same engine as the 950C, and shares the latter s quoted print speeds, but in practice the 959C is slightly slower. 2.9ppm for graphics leaves it ahead of the competition. Unlike our Best Buy from Epson, the 959C s output is of a high standard across the board, with draft mode proving perfectly satisfactory for most text work. For graphics, the banding and poor colour support in draft mode will have you jumping straight to the standard resolution. Should you feel the need for better quality output, the printer can go up to a resolution of 2,400x1,200dpi on photo paper.
Results here are extremely bright with strong line definition.
You really do get the complete works with the HP DeskJet 959C, and the large supply of sample media should give you plenty to play around with. The HP s low running costs make this a printer that will pay handsome dividends in the long term. Click here for information about the PC Advisor Legal Advice Hotline.
