HP J3625 Printer Review

Small offices looking for an inkjet printer with faxing, copying and scanning features look no further than the HP OfficeJet J3625. Its Windows and Mac compatibility and small size make it an easy addition to any home office. Just take a look at its dimensions of 13x16.4x8 inches. It will fit nearly anywhere, taking up barely any space on a desk or table. It isn't husky, either—it only weighs 12 pounds—making it easy to move when necessary.

It also is very low maintenance, using only two HP J3625 ink cartridges. One tank of printer ink is black, and the other is tricolor. This tricolor tank contains cyan, magenta and yellow OfficeJet J3625 ink. High resolutions of 1200x1200 dpi are possible using only black printer ink, and 4800x1200 dpi is the standard resolution when printing in color. These HP J3625 ink tanks do have one problem, though—their very low page yields. The black and color OfficeJet J3625 ink cartridges yield only 190 pages and 165 pages, respectively.

If buyers print often, they could find themselves buying HP J3625 ink much more often then they'd like. The printer has a monthly capacity of 1,000 pages, which means if used to its highest capacity, these tanks may break the bank. Remanufactured versions are available from third party vendors, making the J3625 appropriate no matter the budget.

The copier has the ability to pre-scan documents, as well as use fit-to-page functions. Ninety-nine copies can be made from an original document, and each one prints with great quality too. The scanner's OCR software can turn scanned text into editable text on the spot, and it also has a 48-bit color depth. The fax machine offers a memory of 200 pages, ring detect software and busy redial options. The fax also comes with 100 speed dial options. Compared to other inkjet units on the market, the J3625 is a cut above.
