HP K7103 Printer Review

The HP OfficeJet K7103 is a fast color inkjet printer with the ability to support wider formats, making it an excellent choice for small design shops or businesses. It can reach speeds of up to 25 pages per minute, and despite its wide-format support, it is still relatively compact. Large-capacity HP K7103 printer ink supplies are also easy on the budget.

The K7103 is lightweight, as only 22.5 pounds, and its frame measures 7.3x22.6x16.1 inches. This makes it one of the more compact large-format devices in its class, so that even small offices can get in on the fun. It supports both Mac and Windows platforms, and comes with both a parallel and USB port, though it lacks wireless support or an ethernet port.

The paper handling capabilities of the K7103 are a mixed bag. On the one hand, it can handle sizes all the way up to Super B, which is 13x19 inches, which gives users a lot of variety, and it supports a number of media types such as photo paper, matte paper, index cards, labels and more. Where it is most limited is in its paper capacity, holding only 150 sheets in its main tray. With a maximum optimized print resolution of 4800x4800 dpi, however, its output quality should make up for it.

The standard inkjet configuration of the device uses two HP K7103 ink cartridges, including a black supply and a tricolor supply, for 4-color printing. The option of a photo OfficeJet K7103 ink cartridge allows it to handle 6-color printing. This can improve photo output, but users will spend more on OfficeJet K7103 printer ink over time.

Shared offices won't like the K7103's lack of networking, and its small paper tray could pose an issue for busy users. Nevertheless, its support for wider formats and inexpensive HP K7103 ink make it a solid choice in its class.
