HP Photosmart D5360

The HP Photosmart D5360 features that standard Photosmart look shiny white and light gray exterior with rounded curves. This model measures 18 inches wide, 15 inches deep, and 7.2 inches tall, and weighs just 12.5 pounds. Four memory card slots are mounted on the front, but its missing a PictBridge USB port for connecting PictBridge cameras. The control panel is minimal on the D5360.

The 1.5 inch LCD is mounted on a raised panel, though its not adjustable. The only buttons are the Print Photos, Print Tray, Red Eye Removal, Cancel, and OK and menu navigation keys. Paper handling is classic HP. The tray comprises two layers. The bottom tray is the main input and holds up to 125 sheets of regular paper. The upper tray is the output tray, but it includes an embedded, dedicated photo paper tray with a flip up lid.

The photo tray can hold various sizes, up to 5x7 (up to 20 sheets). The tray engages automatically when you direct the printer to print photos.

One surprising aspect of the D5360 is that it comes with an auto duplexer standard this option isnt often found on $100 printers.

The Photosmart D5360 uses a two ink ink system. For standard printing, youll use a black and a tri-color cartridge.

HP offers an optional photo ink cartridge for six color photo printing (it replaces the black) and a gray cartridge for more nuanced black and white prints (to replace the color cartridge). The black and tricolor cartridges come in standard and XL versions.

The standard black costs $15, while the standard color costs $18. The XL versions cost $30 and $35, respectively. Using the XL versions, we estimate that a black only page costs about 4 cents and a four color page costs about 10.7 cents. Both values are reasonable for a low cost inkjet printer.
