HP Business Inkjet 2280 Ink Cartridges

HP 2280 Printer Review

The HP Business Inkjet 2280 combines the affordability of a color inkjet printer with some of the advanced features, large capacities and fast speeds one would expect from a more business-centric laser model. The result is an affordable solution for individuals or small offices that need a robust feature set in a compact design. Low-cost HP 2280 ink keeps overall HP ink costs low.

The 2280 is the base model with the standard set of features. It includes only a parallel port for connecting directly to a single machine. A better choice for the majority of buyers, however, would be the 2280tn, which includes extra paper capacity and also built-in networking via ethernet port. This makes it easy to connect to a network and share among multiple users.

Standard paper capacity is 250 sheets, while the 2280tn includes a 500-sheet capacity. The standard 24 MB of RAM can be expanded to a maximum of 88 MB for those who require it. Paper sizes from 4x6 inches up to a maximum of 8.5x14 inches are supported. The machine is built for high-volume use with a monthly duty cycle of up to 10,000 pages. Print speed is fast, at up to 15 pages per minute for black and 10.8 pages per minute for color.

Printer ink costs are lower than the average inkjet unit because HP 2280 ink cartridges use individual color tanks, reducing waste. The large capacity of Business Inkjet 2280 ink cartridges provides a low cost per page that saves money over the long run. Buyers can opt for third-party compatible Business Inkjet 2280 ink for even more savings.

For small business users and networked environments, the HP Business Inkjet 2280 is a great fit. Its fast speeds and affordable price combined with inexpensive HP 2280 ink costs make it a great value.
