HP Officejet 6500 Review (HP Officejet 6500 All-In-One Machine)

Fax, Printer, and Scanner, All in One Machine

Multifunction Printers are all the rage in today's market

Right now, it seems that buying "just a printer"is quite difficult. The market is gearing towards having an All-in-One (printer, fax, copier, scanner) machines. The HP Officejet 6500 is an example of this market trend and this article is a review about the worthiness of the HP Officejet 6500

Main Features review
The HP Officejet 6500 is suitable for a home office since it works as a fax machine, printer, and scanner. If you are looking for a 30-32 pages per minute printing device then the the HP Officejet 6500. I tried and I really do not know if this is the actual speed of printing. It was near the 15 pages per minute. I really do not know how manufacturers get the advertised speed. The fax component of the HP Officejet 6500 is easy to use and can store up to 100 pages and can store up to 100 speed dial numbers.

You need to install a special software that comes with the HP Officejet 6500 With this software installed, printing is very easy. The HP Officejet 6500 can in addition to A4 paper, cards, photo paper, and different types of labels and envelopes. You can also directly from a memory card

Good Price
The price of the HP Officejet 6500 is around $140 which is good for a home office all-in-one machine, especially coming from Hewlett Packard. On the long run this machines also cheap since it uses 4 separate ink cartridges for different ink colors. When you are out of one you changed (they are fairly cheap). Other machines on the market at similar market prices have only one cartridge which in my opinion is more expensive to maintain

Final Conclusion after using the HP Officejet 6500

If you are looking for an fairly priced all-in-one machine to be used in a home or in a home office setting then the HP Officejet 6500 is the right one. It can handle pretty much all home office jobs at fairly good speed. Printing speed may not what is advertised but I used everyday with excellent results. Printing quality of photos is pretty decent (not excellent, but enough for common people needs).

    Nice, concise summary. I am a former HP devotee who went over to Canon in recent years... may return to HP yet!
