HP OfficeJet 7210 Ink Cartridges

The HP OfficeJet 7210 implements the quality of inkjet technology with the speed that usually only comes with a laser printer. Because of its ability to produce up to 30 pages per minute in black-and-white Draft mode and its multiple functions, including printing, scanning, copying, and faxing, the 7210 is a well-suited partner for an office environment. However, its affordability and impressive photo quality will likely appeal more to consumers looking for a personal printer. The unit is also referred to as the 7210v and 7210xi in other countries.

Speed and quality go hand in hand when using this device, as the maximum resolution attainable is contingent upon the print mode that is set. In Draft mode, less HP 7210 ink is ejected onto the paper, creating a lower resolution (300x300 dpi) but allowing documents to print at faster rates. In Best mode, which should be used for printing images or graphics that require sharp detail and bold colors, only about 2 pages per minute can be produced, but the resolution can reach up to 2400x1200 dpi.

Yellow, cyan, and magenta printer ink is held in a single HP 7210 ink cartridge while the black ink has its own supply. Standard and high-capacity versions are available for both, which nearly double the page yield. Additionally, photo color OfficeJet 7210 ink cartridges can be purchased and installed in place of the black for more accurate colors, and a photo gray supply can be installed in place of the color printer ink for black-and-white photos. A number of third-party vendors offer each type of compatible HP 7210 ink to reduce costs.

Users have a variety of connection options and this inkjet all-in-one is compatible with most major operating systems. A single computer can attach via USB port, multiple users can share the 8210 over the ethernet interface, and images can be loaded directly from memory cards or digital cameras. Unfortunately, there is only a status LCD that shows task progress and error messages rather than a color LCD to preview the images before printing.

A monthly maximum of 5,000 pages can be printed, though HP recommends only generating about 500 pages each month to prolong the life of the machine. Up to 150 sheets can be held in the input tray, and 50 documents can be held in the output tray. Various media types can be used, including envelopes, transparency films, and labels.

Speed, quality, and versatility are the strongest selling points of this device. It offers multiple functions, beneficial features, and cost-effective replacement OfficeJet 7210 ink. These are important elements of a printer in a home or office, and they combine to make this model a good value for the price.
