HP K7100 Printer Review

With print speeds of up to 25 pages per minute and a choice of 4 or 6 color printing, the HP OfficeJet K7100 is an impressive inkjet printer for the small office environment. Its focus on excellent output quality makes it well-rounded enough for photos or text documents, and there are several different capacities of HP K7100 printer ink supplies to choose from to help keep costs under control.

The K7100 has a design that is quite sleek and modern, with a height of just 7.3 inches and a footprint of 16.1x22.6 inches. It weighs a little over 22 pounds, even with the OfficeJet K7100 printer ink installed, and it connects via USB port, supporting both Mac and Windows platforms.

The K7100 is a little more versatile than the average inkjet model when it comes to paper handling. The input paper tray can hold up to 150 sheets of plain paper, but it can support sizes up to 11x17 inches, also known as Tabloid paper. A number of different types of media are supported as well, including transparencies, envelopes, labels, and more, giving users a wide range of creative possibilities. The maximum optimized resolution is 4800x1200 dpi, which provides excellent print quality.

Many buyers might be drawn to the device for its photo-printing capabilities, but an extra HP K7100 ink cartridge is required for the highest quality and 6-color printing. Add to this the fact that OfficeJet K7100 ink cartridges are already pricey to replace, and you have an expensive machine to operate. Users can get some relief by using remanufactured HP K7100 ink at lower prices than OEM supplies.

The output quality and speed of the HP K7100 inkjet printer are some of the best in its class, but it is let down by high supply costs. It also lacks network sharing, which could be useful in a small multi-user environment.
