HP Officejet Pro 8000 Review

Laser printers have usually been more expensive to purchase and less costly to use compared to ink jet printers. Now, though, with the Officejet Pro 8000, HP might be bucking that trend. They are saying that if utilised along with HP's high-capacity cartridges, this particular Officejet ink jet printer has a 50% reduced cost per page than comparable laser printers.

The model itself is a two-tone device having a white base in addition to large sections of black features. It is made from solid plastic which gives the model a sturdy appearance and feel. The lines are curved, which also gives the machine an attractive visual effect. Nevertheless, the two diverse colours accentuate the inescapable fact that this printer is fairly big.

Setup for the machine was in fact simple and the bundled instructions are excellent.

The 8000 comes with a large amount of handy software. It's also possible to install merely the print driver and basic utilities in case you are not interested in this software.

This Officejet Pro's control panel is fairly straightforward. There are four lighted indicators upon the left with regards to the level of the ink cartridges. At the right are three elongated buttons pertaining to the wireless network, job cancel, and paper feed. The network button toggles the wireless off and on when you press and hold. If you press it very fast, it prints out network configurations. A blue light above the network button shows the state of the wireless connection, either on or off. The only additional button is the round on/off button.

In front of the model is the 250-sheet input tray which is situated underneath a 150-sheet output region. A dense black plastic tray covers the input tray and is the location where the output sits.

The Officejet Pro 8000 has outstanding speed with regards to an ink jet machine. It is rated at a maximum of 35 pages per minute on black and 34 pages per minute on colour and it was almost as fast with a wireless network as it was with a wired one.

Text was highly detailed and clear when using the HP Officejet Pro 8000 printer cartridges. Colour images were fairly good, even though a little on the dingy side. The HP ink used in this model is unquestionably waterproof.

The duplexer is a means to help you save money. During the tests it worked faultlessly.

This model works with the free HP iPrint photo app on the iTunes store. Using this it is easy to print the photographs from your iPhone.

The great print quality, fine wireless connectivity, substantial duty cycle, small print costs plus duplexer help to make this a great printer at a heavy home or small office user. However, you've got to be willing to endure the extended installation, the rare thumping and grinding, and also the fact that the print tray cover must be carefully put into the printer. HP is right that this could be a great choice rather than a colour laser printer, providing you are able to understand the fact that it is quite big and has a handful of defects.
