As a point of reference, one similarly priced AIO, the HP Photosmart C5280 All-In-One, took just 17:50, while another, the HP OfficeJet J5780 All-in-One, took 21:10. The story is very different for photo speed. As with many ink jet printers and AIOs, the 948 lets you swap out the black cartridge for a photo cartridge to print photos using six colors instead of four. This tends to increase the printing time, but with most printers, including the 948, it improves the colors in photos. I timed the 948, using the photo cartridge, at an average 2:06 for each 4-by-6 and 4:31 for each 8-by-10. That's significantly faster than either the C5280, at 2:42 and 6:20, or the J5870, at 3:11 and 8:17.Īs with speed, quality varies with the type of output.

Graphics and photo quality are both within the typical range for an ink jet, but text quality is far below the norm. On our standard text suite, only one font qualified as both well formed and easily readable at any size smaller than 20 points. #DELL PRINTER 948 INK CARTRIDGES WINDOWS#.#DELL PRINTER 948 INK CARTRIDGES SOFTWARE#.
