HP K8600 Printer Review

The HP OfficeJet Pro K8600 is an inkjet printer that offers fast speeds and high resolutions. Made for small to midsized offices whose monthly cycles are less than 6,250 pages, the K8600 can only print. For many offices, it will be just what they're looking for, even though it has recently been discontinued. It does lack faxing, copying and scanning, though, which these days makes it almost obsolete for businesses. Many don't want space taken up by four different units when they could simply buy an all in one that has all those functions included. For those who just need printing, the HP K8600 will be just fine. It weighs 27.1 pounds and has dimensions of 24x16.54x8.78 inches.

Four HP K8600 ink cartridges are needed for printing, and they are filled with cyan, magenta, yellow and black printer ink. Using black or color OfficeJet Pro K8600 ink, up to 35 pages can be printed per minute. Resolutions of 1200x1200 dpi can be obtained if printing strictly black documents, and if printing using color HP K8600 ink, the resolutions can reach 4800x1200 dpi.

The amount of people who love this inkjet printer is equal to the amount of consumers that hate it. For those who hate it, they complain about the printer driver, first and foremost, along with the confusing installation process. Many complain that the printheads have quit working altogether. Another common problem with users is that this unit runs out of printer ink too fast and replacement HP K8600 ink tends to cost too much money. Other problems include paper jams, flimsy paper tray and crooked printing. Those who love the printer, though, have their reasons too. It is relatively affordable and easy to use. Many users find the OfficeJet K8600 ink cartridges to be reasonably priced and easily found. Consumers also love its fast speeds and excellent print quality.
