HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

 

When you think of a printer, Hewlett Packard or HP is definitely one of the first names to strike your mind. HP has come a long way in catering to all our printing needs in terms of both inkjet and laser printers. This time, HP has offered its small...

With a price tag of Rs. 20,999 and featuring laser-like print quality, speedy document printing with duplex capabilities, web options, wireless connectivity and a built-in fax, we would definitely recommend one of these units in a medium-sized business...

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus inkjet multifunction printer

 

In a world filled with cheap but underpowered inkjet multifunction printers (MFPs), using the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus is a pleasant departure. One ...

HP Officejet Pro K8600dn Inkjet Printer

 

The HP Officejet Pro K8600dn colour inkjet printer's wide-format capability (it can print on tabloid and B-size media) means that you can print larger...

Fast, wide-format capability, automatic duplexer

Expensive, clunky input and output trays

It won't replace your graphics department's high-end colour laser printer, but for drafts and for other kinds of office users it's worth considering.

The HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus is a heavyweight, inkjet all-in-one.

Much cheaper than colour laser ; Easy wireless connection ; Max 25,000 page monthly duty cycle

No multipurpose tray ; USB socket not PictBridge compatible ; Slower than specified

HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One

 

Editor's Note: This review contains text from our reviews of the step-up models in the same line: the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus and the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium .

The HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One is ready for high-volume printing needs with an ample 250-sheet paper input capacity, autoduplexing, cloud printing, and a host of versatile connectivity options.

The autodocument feeder can't duplex double-sided originals for scanning and the smaller touch screen requires more patience to operate than the 8600 Plus and 8600 Premium.

The Officejet Pro 8600 anchors HP's flagship printing line with capable performance, ample connectivity options, and enough cloud-printing tools to ensure its long-term usefulness.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium e-All-in-One

 

Editors' note: The HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium's hardware specs are identical to the ones on the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus with the addition of an extra 250-sheet paper tray (for a total of 500), an extra set of inks, and a set of HP Glossy Photo...

The HP Officejet 8600 Plus prints professional-quality photos and documents quickly with versatile connectivity options and robust features like an auto-duplexer, cloud printing, and a legal-size scanning bay.

The touch screen requires aggressive finger presses to actuate the display functions, and there's no way to calibrate its sensitivity.

If you can find a desk to accommodate its large size, the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus all-in-one printer serves up top-shelf output quality at rapid print speeds, suitable for offices, home users, and photo enthusiasts hunting for an upgrade.

The $299 HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One printer is an updated version of the Pro 8500A Plus multifunction CNET reviewed last year. The flagship of HP's workcentric inkjet line gets a performance makeover from the inside out, with improvements...

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer review: Features and Speed Aplenty

 

In a world filled with cheap but underpowered inkjet multifunction printers (MFPs), using the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus is a pleasant departure. One of the most competent MFPs for the price ($300 as of 12/05/2011), it lacks nothing in its features, is...

Very fast ; Legal-size scanner platen ; Cheap ink

Pale graphics on plain paper at default settings

This fast color inkjet MFP is feature-complete, cheap to operate, and supports legal-sized paper throughout.

HP OfficeJet Pro K8600 A3+ Inkjet Printer

 

This wide carriage inkjet printer comes with a hefty premium over its A4 siblings.

HP's OfficeJet Pro K8600 is very much a wide-carriage version of the K5400n, but without the upgrade options and with a much higher price. Although the smaller market for A3+ printers puts a certain premium on them, when you look at the actual...
