HP 6700 Printer Review

The HP OfficeJet 6700 is an affordable multifunction inkjet printer that is well received by experts as a proficient small or home office unit. The device is capable of solid speeds for such small environments, with monochrome projects printing in as fast as 34 pages per minute and color projects printing at a maximum of 31 pages per minute. This multipurpose printer, scanner, copier and fax machine has the speed and user-friendly design to make it one of the best selections among comparable devices in its class.

For its price tag, the 6700 offers a fair range of features including standalone copy and fax functionality, as well as efficient control with the 2.65-inch touch screen panel that provides access to web applications. The unit has versatile connection options, which range from a standard USB port to AirPrint support for Apple devices through Wi-FI, as well as ePrint connectivity that can print and store projects through the cloud.

Expert tests reveal that its output scored below par in its class of inkjet printers, but using its thermal HP 6700 printer ink technology, most documents have satisfactory quality. Tests for graphics show enough clarity and color detail for distribution within an office, printing with a maximum resolution of 4800x1200 dpi using color OfficeJet 6700 ink.

With respect to its compact size of 9x18x23 inches, the machine still manages to provide versatile media handling features for small volume offices, including a 250-sheet input tray and an automatic duplex option for printing double-sided on paper. The device also comes with a 35-sheet automatic document feeder that can quickly scan, copy, and fax multiple pages in one batch.

The machine's standard HP 6700 printer ink cartridges have a yield of around 330 pages for cyan, magenta and yellow and up to 400 pages for black, which are fairly low capacities for an office printer. However, available high-capacity color OfficeJet 6700 ink can last for up to 825 pages. The optional high-capacity black HP 6700 ink cartridge has a yield of up to 1,000 pages

The 6700 has a compact design for desktop use, and ample features and applications for the price. Its easy-to-use all-in-one capabilities make it a competent small or home office printer at a great price.
