HP 6150 Printer Review

The HP OfficeJet 6150 is a copier, scanner, printer, and fax machine in one, but its inkjet design makes it just as suited for photos and home use as it is for office tasks. It can reach maximum speeds of up to 32 pages per minute, though higher quality settings may be quite a bit slower. HP 6150 printer ink is fairly affordable, and its purchase price will appeal to bargain-hunters.

On the photo side of things, the unit includes memory card slots and a PictBridge port for easy direct printing, with a 2.4-inch screen for previewing images and navigating menus. A USB port is included for a direct PC connection, either Windows or Mac, as well as an ethernet port and wireless support. The unit itself won't take up a lot of space, with dimensions of 9.7x17.7x15.2 inches and a weight of 23.4 pounds that doesn't include the OfficeJet 6150 ink supplies.

When it comes to more office-centric tasks, the 50-sheet automatic document feeder will come in handy for scanning multiple pages quickly and efficiently. There is also a separate flatbed scanning surface for irregular items. The input paper capacity is only 100 sheets, but most home users will find this a good compromise for its compact design.

The true cost of any inkjet model lies in the printer ink, and while HP 6150 ink cartridges aren't the least expensive in its class, they come in two sizes. The high-capacity OfficeJet 6150 ink cartridges have more than double the page yield of the standard versions, for a better overall value.

Instead of trying to make the OfficeJet 6150 the best all-in-one for home users or for office users, HP seems to have taken the middle road. The result is a device that fits both roles well, and its fast speeds, excellent output quality, and affordable HP 6150 ink prices make it a great value for the price.
