MANILA, Philippines - Prices of computer printers have gone down in recent years so budget-conscious parents are among the first to get one for their kids (to aid them with their school projects). What most of us don’t realize is that when the ink runs low, that’s when the problems can begin. You see, some color printer ink cartridges can cost more than the machine.
Just a month ago, our worn-out printer ran out of ink. And I was so surprised when the saleslady told me that the original ink cartridges cost P1,500…that’s almost half the price of my printer!
Thank goodness, HP now offers affordable, A+ printing choices with its new Deskjet Ink Advantage lineup — HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2515 All-in-One , the HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 4615 All-in-One, the Deskjet Ink Advantage 4625 e-All-in-One, the HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3525 and 5525 e-All-in-One printers — that delivers high-quality prints at up to half the running costs.
Launched recently at The Annex, SM City North EDSA, celebrity parents Christine Jacob-Sandejas, Tintin Bersola-Babao, and Paolo Abrera shared how affordable HP’s new line of Ink Advantage Printers is and how it helps their children shine in school by printing high-quality schoolwork and outstanding school projects.
Dubbed “Print ‘n’ Play: Empowering education with modern printing technology,” the event featured activities that allowed families and students to experience the joys of A+ printing.
Veteran news anchor Paolo Abrera related how the new HP printers make learning more fun for his daughters.
“My daughters love to wrestle ála UFC… that’s our favorite bonding activity. They also enjoy playing educational games that not only keep them occupied but also develop their minds at the same time. The HP Ink Advantage 5525 printer has preloaded print apps. They just couldn’t get enough of the Puss and Boots coloring sheets that we just download from the HP printer,” shared Paolo.
It’s a no-brainer why Paolo loves the HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3525, 5525 e-All-in-One printers. For one, these printers come with first-to-market features that grow HP’s lead in addressing customers’ growing mobile and digital needs that allow them to easily print from any wireless-enabled mobile devices without a network or router through HP wireless direct printing.
“You can have a copy of your e-mail printed straight from your mobile phone, and print from virtually anywhere with HP ePrint. How cool is that?” Paolo asked.
One can also access and print online educational content with HP print apps such as Lorax, Dreamworks, Yahoo Digest, and many more.
“The ease of use, the printing speed, and cost of inks of today’s printers just surprised me. My seven-year-old daughter, Antonia, has loads of paper-heavy homework, which she prints by herself at home. The HP ink cartridge can print as many as 600 pages, but not as costly as before,” enthused journalist and TV host Tintin Bersola-Babao.
Former Olympian and TV personality Christine Jacob-Sandejas appreciates how easy it is to operate the HP Ink Advantage 4625 e-all-in-one printer.
“I was never a techie. So when I told my husband that HP chose me as one of the celebrity parents to represent the brand, he advised me to learn how to operate the printer all by myself, which I successfully did. It was so easy to set up,” bragged Christine.
She also mentioned how the HP printer helped her and her children keep up with the fast-paced world.
“We didn’t have printers or computers during our time. But today, there’s no way you can survive school without a reliable printer. With HP Ink Advantage 4625, my kids can access the printer from anywhere through the HP e-Print. We just set up an e-mail account for the printer. Now, they can have their school projects or reports printed wherever they may be and just pick up their printed homework as soon as they arrive home,” added Christine.
The HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 4615 All-in-One, 4625 e-All-in-One printers are ideal for school administrations and home offices because it has print, scan, copy, and fax functions, while producing outstanding documents at a low cost. The EnergyStar qualified devices feature a 35-page document feeder to help complete print jobs quickly. You can also print, say your book report, while away from the device with HP ePrint and share resource with wireless networking.
Low-Cost, Low-Maintenance Printing
Aside from the cool features, what makes the new HP printers a must-have in every home or office is the ink advantage. The original HP ink cartridges used with the Deskjet Ink Advantage printer series enable homemakers to print up to 600 pages at only P390.
With the innovative HP Ink Advantage system, students can shine by printing high-quality schoolwork affordably, while parents can enjoy reliable print at low costs.
Well, 600 pages is a lot. Please print wisely. Help save the environment — recycle paper if you can.
