HP OfficeJet Pro 8100 Ink Cartridges

HP 8100 Printer Review

For small work environments that are in need of a single-purpose printer that can deliver professional-level text documents as well as impressive color graphics and photos, the HP OfficeJet Pro 8100 may be a good option. This inkjet printer has the ability to produce quality that matches that of standard laser printers, yet does so at almost half the cost due to the affordable price of HP 8100 ink cartridges.

In an office, it is important to have an efficient machine, and the 8100 does not disappoint, spitting out color and black-and-white documents at a maximum rate of 35 pages per minute. This speed is only attainable in Draft mode, though, and will drop significantly as the mode is altered to increase the resolution. In Best mode, which is the slowest option, a maximum resolution of 1200x600 dpi can be reached for black-and-white prints, and 4800x1200 dpi can be reached when using all four colors of OfficeJet Pro 8100 printer ink.

Many of the standard features of the 8100 are imperative to workgroups. For instance, networking and wireless capabilities will make it simple to be shared, and the automatic duplexer will conserve the amount of paper being used each day. There is a 360 MHz processor, 128 MB of memory, and a 250-sheet paper capacity that can be increased with the addition of another paper tray, which is sold separately.

Once all four supplies of HP 8100 ink are installed, this inkjet printer will weigh just a bit less than 25 pounds, making it simple to move if needed. Its compact frame, which measures about 19x19x8 inches, lets users store the 8100 just about anywhere around the office. The OfficeJet Pro 8100 ink cartridges come in two different capacities, giving users the option of paying more upfront for 1,500-page yields, or paying less up front for 700-page yields. Economically, the high-capacity is a better choice overall, and compatible versions of the HP 8100 printer ink are also available, reducing the cost per page even more.

The affordable and efficient HP OfficeJet Pro 8100 is sure to increase productivity around the office without putting too much of a dent in the budget. The speed and quality make it suitable for a professional environment, and the option of wired or wireless connection makes it easy to share among the whole office.
