HP 6812 e-All-in-One Printer Review

The HP OfficeJet 6812 e-All-in-One is an inkjet printer, scanner, copier, and fax machine in a single device designed for home or small office use. With quick print speeds of up to 29 pages per minute for black and 24 pages per minute for color, it reduces waiting for tasks to finish, and it has a sharp output resolution of 600x1200 dpi. Buyers may find prices for HP 6812 printer ink a little high, but the cost per page is affordable.

The 6812 includes both USB and ethernet ports for a wired connection to a PC or a network, and also supports 802.11 wireless networking. Larger than a dedicated inkjet printer, it is still relatively compact, measuring 8.8x15.3x18.2 inches, and with the OfficeJet 6812 printer ink supplies installed, it weighs 17.6 pounds. It has a 2.65-inch color touchscreen display for easy operation, though some users might find the screen a bit hard to read.

The input paper capacity is fairly roomy for such a compact machine, at 225 sheets. It has an output capacity of 60 sheets as well. A 35-sheet automatic document feeder is included for scanning of multiple-page documents without the need for manual feeding. Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems are supported.

The system uses four HP 6812 ink cartridges: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. The price tag for each OfficeJet 6812 ink cartridge may be higher than some buyers are expecting, but they each yield around 400 pages. This keeps the overall cost per page of HP 6812 ink fairly low.

The HP 6812 rides the line between a home device and a more professional business machine, and manages to fit both categories quite well. Users will appreciate its low price and ease of use, as well as its quick print speeds and sharp output quality.
