HP OfficeJet Pro 8100 ePrinter Description

Small office and home office users will appreciate the mobile printing options available when using the HP OfficeJet Pro 8100 ePrinter.

Wireless, on-the-go printing is possible as a result of the HP ePrint feature that allows for printing from virtually anywhere. As well as the wireless option, users can connect through the built in Ethernet function or via a Hi-speed USB.

Emails, documents and web pages can be printed directly from an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch through AirPrint.

Original HP ink cartridges will result in prints that resist fading, water and highlighter pen smears. Print speeds of up to 20ppm are offered for mono documents whilst colour documents will be produced up to 16ppm. For added convenience, XL ink cartridges are accepted by this machine.

Automatic double-sided printing is provided to enhance productivity allowing for the creation of double-sided flyers for promoting your business. There is also the added benefit of the 250-sheet paper tray being expandable to 500 sheets if necessary.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8100 ePrinter Expert Review

With high speed printing from a machine comparably lower priced than many lasers, the HP OfficeJet Pro8100 is an excellent device to support your home office.

A simplistic design is used so working your way through the various features isn’t a complicated process. Instead, a small LCD shows ink levels as well as your Wi-Fi status and when you should add more paper.

The paper capacity is a match for the kind of output you’d find in an office laser at 250 sheets and this is certainly conducive to high volume printing. Print speeds are excellent and the quickness of the delivery doesn’t compromise on the quality of documents.

Surprisingly, photo prints retain that same level of quality adding flexibility to the printer’s list of positives.

Many may argue that a touchscreen is an omission that hinders usability but you do feel that this has been done in order to keep the price low.

Pros

• Excellent text and photo prints
• Auto duplexing included
• Can accept XL ink cartridges
