HP 7408 Printer Review

The HP OfficeJet uses drop-on-demand inkjet technology to produce projects with accurate detail. With its low-volume, multifunction design and ability to generate vivid pictures, the 7408 is best used as a personal or home office printer. One of its functions is a scanner that includes integrated optical character recognition software to automatically convert scanned text into editable text. The scanner also uses a 50-sheet automatic document feeder that will allow users to scan large jobs continuously.

An additional function is its fax machine, which provides a variety of features like automatic ring detection, automatic busy redial, up to 130 speed dials and a maximum memory of 150 pages. With a modem speed of 33.6 Kbps, the unit's fax machine can receive faxes at a rate of 3 seconds per page. Its copy and print functions can also work at quick rates of up to 30 pages per minute when printing documents using only the black HP 7408 ink. The OfficeJet 7408 ink also creates a sharp maximum resolutions 1200x1200 dpi with the help of HP PhotoREt III technology.

With the unit's color printer ink system, it is able to print a variety of projects like text, graphics and photos with precision. This includes a tricolor and black as well as optional photo gray and photo color HP 7408 ink cartridges. Replacements for each are available at third party vendor sites that provide less expensive compatible OfficeJet 7408 ink cartridges. Since these supplies do not have a large page yield, buying compatible HP 7408 ink will reduce the average cost per page.

In addition to its low yielding supplies, the 7408's limited media handling options that include only a single 150-sheet input tray make the inkjet printer best used by only one person. As far as personal printers go, the 7408 has a range of features and an all-in-one design that make it a great buy.
