HP OfficeJet 7410 All-in-One Review

If you are ready to gamble on an all-in-one at twice the expense of its lesser-endowed peers, your wager is safe with the HP OfficeJet 7410 All-in-One.

Since it is able to do so many feats, the HP OfficeJet 7410's control panel seems covered in silver buttons, however they are effectively ordered. A pale-silver rectangle frames the core 12-key alphanumeric keypad and the 2-by-1.5-inch colour Liquid crystal display, next to an OK button ringed by four arrow buttons designed for navigating the menus. Applications are split by task, having Scan and Fax keys at the left and Copy, Photo, and also Print found on the right.

When you lift the control-panel ledge from underneath, the top opens backward to show two ink-cartridge holders: one with regards to tricolour printing and another just for black text, greyscale photograph, or colour photos. Unfortunately, every time you switch between text and picture printing, you will also need to exchange cartridges.

Two input trays, one holding 150 sheets and a second for 250 pages, reside at the base of the 7410, barely above a 50-sheet volume tray for the purpose of collecting faxes, copies, and prints. To the right of the paper trays rest built-in slots for digital-media cards and a PictBridge port allowing you to connect a digital camera. At the rear of the HP OfficeJet 7410 you will find an automatic duplexer and also ports designed for Ethernet, USB 2.0, as well as two phone jacks. Next to them is the electricity cable.

This HP can function as a stand alone copier and photo unit with a spacious 96MB of RAM for keeping files as well as images. Direct digital-photo printing at up to 4,800x1, 200dpi comes courtesy of a PictBridge port for connecting to modern cameras, and also slots intended for Compact Flash, Memory Stick, MultiMediaCard, Secure Digital, SmartMedia, and xD-Picture digital-media cards. The legal-size scanner flatbed scans in greyscale and also colour at up to 2,800x4, 800dpi, compared to the 1,200x2, 400dpi scans of most other all-in-ones.

The HP 7410 works with Macintosh as well as Windows computers and ships prepared to join an Ethernet or 802.11b/g wireless network. Two more advantages: the 7410 includes a built-in duplexer for double-sided printing as well as an automatic document feeder (ADF) designed for multiple-page faxing, copying, and printing. You may also fax in colour with out PC software by using the 7410's well-powered 33.6Kbps modem.

Text prints in our tests, while using HP OfficeJet 7410 ink cartridges, appeared outstanding. Printed at the maximum resolution of 1,200x1, 200dpi with coated inkjet paper; the text in our evaluation document ended up dark, clean, and easily legible, even at tiny 3.5-point font sizes and lower.

Coded graphics ended up being not so impressive but nonetheless decent. In addition printed with coated inkjet paper at 1,200x1, 200 dpi, the test prints demonstrated massive details yet looked undersaturated and experienced coded banding inside the gradients.

The HP OfficeJet 7410 printed a number of the most clean photographs we have observed in a long time. Coded pictures turned out a bit cold having a slight cyan cast, however fine detail was good. The ability to recreate tiny details, like the vibrant gloss of a little egg, was remarkable. Skin tones along with other colours appeared clean.

Unfortunately, scans were much less distinctive. Our black-and-white test scan ended up being pale as well as overexposed, though precise and also finely detailed. The coded scan was even worse: light regions disappeared totally, not to mention colours strayed from the original.

Printing text, the HP OfficeJet 7410 All-in-One ended up being among the quickest all-in-one devices we have tested. It generated seven pages of black text per minute.

The HP OfficeJet 7410 appeared to be not as zippy whenever scanning. However overall, the 7410 scored exceptionally in exams for its simplicity of use as well as effective capabilities in addition to its notable speeds at most tasks.
