HP OfficeJet Pro K8600dn

Printing made easy thanks to OfficeJet

Advantages: easy to use and install, super fast prints, always clear print outs, long lasting cartridges
Disadvantages: expensive outlay

When we were looking at a office printer price wasn?t a consideration and neither was performance so when the HP OfficeJet Pro K850 was recommended by a client I had no hesitation in paying £245 for a the mono version (i.e. the black and white model). Size wise it wouldn?t take up too much room and easily fit into the slot left by our now defunct printer. The dimensions being: Width: 61cm Depth: 43.4cm Height: 20.5cm Weight: 12.3kg Installing the printer was easy and once the driver software was installed onto our server each individual PC detected it immediately and was able to send print jobs to it without any real fuss or bother. Built into the printer is a Motorola ColdFire 4e 256 MHz processor and it uses HP PhotoREt III image enhancing technology to ensure that all of the prints that come off are always ...

Review of HP OfficeJet Pro K850

Officejet Pro a waste of desk space

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: wont print more that 100 sheets per print head

I bought a H5400 duplex and within 2 weeks the print head started to malfunction and readable black copies could only be made in 'Photo' mode. I waited nearly 2 more weeks for a replacement print head and within 2 days this also malfunctioned. HP echanged the machine within 10 more days with a reconditioned unit. I complained I didnt buy a recon unit I wanted a new one because the recon unit didnt work from the get go. I wouldnt buy a new car with 20,000 miles on the clock would you. Also it will only print labels in best quality mode as it skids them through and miss aligns them in normal mode. It also will not print edge to edge envelopes. The closest it will print to the left edge is 1 inch I print my company logo in the top left corner. Not anymore. It can take up to 5 minutes to warm up in a morning churning and whiring away ...

Review of HP OfficeJet Pro K5400

Not for photographers

Advantages: Cheap printing
Disadvantages: Not great quality photos

HP OfficeJet Pro K5400 The HP OfficeJet Pro K5400 is a low cost, colour, inkjet, printer. It is aimed at small businesses and is a pretty basic printer. If you need to scan or copy then this is not for you but it will produce low cost prints. I used this printer when i printed some ICT coursework from my teachers office. The text sheets came out well and with reasonable speed. Next was a powerpoint presentation in handout form. This was a colur print. It came out in good quality and took a second or two longer than the text sheet. I was happy with both sheets so far. Finally, i had a photo to print. (This wasn't for work but it was a cool Iron Maiden photo that i wanted to stick on my wall) The photo took longer again to print and when it finally came out, the quality had let it down. Slightly smudged and generally tacky. I was ...
