HP C7185 Ink
Photosmart C7185 Ink Cartridges

The HP PhotoSmart C7185 is an all-in-one inkjet designed to take over the functionality of many machines in a single unit. Not only can it print, copy, and scan, but it also adds faxing capabilities that are missing in other models in its line. This makes it the ultimate choice for home and small office buyers who don't want to compromise. HP C7185 ink is affordable, which keeps printer ink costs to a minimum, and the device can print at up to 32 pages per minute in black and 31 pages per minute in color.

The large control panel with a full-color LCD is almost imposing at first glance, as it takes up a fair amount of the inkjet model's front face. Users will grow to appreciate its array of buttons and layout, however, as the one-touch buttons especially can improve speed and workflow. Both color and monochrome copies can be initiated with a single button, as can scans.

Users will appreciate the low price of HP C7185 ink cartridges with the first replacement, as it keeps high printer ink costs at bay. Replacement won't have to happen often, however, as PhotoSmart C7185 ink cartridges have capacities of over 400 pages each, with the black PhotoSmart C7185 ink coming in at over 660 pages. For more savings, buyers can opt for compatible HP C7185 ink, which is a fraction of the OEM cost.

When stacked up against similar competing units, the C7185 has a few major advantages. The price to performance ratio is very high, with fast speeds and low running costs. The fact that it lacks an automatic document feeder is a drawback, however.

Overall, the HP C7185 is a great choice for buyers who need faxing capabilities. Others will save money by choosing different models in its line.
