This printer is better and more user friendly than the rest in the lot because of its 3.45-inch touch screen. In addition to this, the image quality of the HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless cannot be denied. HP has very creatively designed this printer and has added to it a 50-sheet automatic document feeder. With this you can not only print images but also scan documents, photos, graphs and other images with its legal-size scanner.
Features of HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless :
An important feature because of which it is recommended for use in offices is its larger capacity paper trays; these paper trays are approximately 19.45 inches wide by 18.86 inches deep and 13.03 inches tall. This is so well polished and cool and royal colours of this printer make it a fest for the eyes.
For many, the cool looks and the textured finish lure them to purchase this printer of HP. Although there are various other competitors in the market who have a bigger LCD screen than this printer of HP but then it comes to being better, HP wins the battle. It is seen that the LCD screen of this printer is much user friendly and has a clear and easy display.
As this also has a fax machine in build in it, the front panel has a telephone keypad for typing in fax numbers. An important and user friendly button is the "Digital Filing Networking Folder" button that allows you to scan and manage your images.
To add to his, there is also the general "E-mail" button for one-touch scan delivery. Various other software such as Compact Flash, PictBridge USB, Memory Stick, xD and SD have access button arranged neatly on the front panel of the Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless printer
Drawbacks in HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless :
With such an extra large paper tray, what HP failed to include is a dual paper input tray in HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless . This is nowadays a common feature in the printers manufactured today. Thus this will act as a deal breaker when other options are available in front of the users. In addition to this, the Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless printer also lacks Bluetooth, autodial fax buttons, etc.
What is Hot in this Printer !
Inbuilt into HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless is an extra large 250-sheet input drawer. In addition to this, you also have the option to extend the tray outward suh as A4 and legal-size papers are fitted into it. and it also has an arm to corral loose prints; we liked that the tray doesn't come out of the machine and is made of a sturdy plastic, but we found ourselves wishing for the dual photo and letter-size paper tray that we loved so dearly on the HP Photosmart C8180.
A very detailed mechanism is in build this printer owing to which such clear pictures are available. Four individual cartridges are fitted such that while printing pictures, ink from these four cartridges are automatically drawn in. In addition to this, there are two print heads that house an additional two colors. Now you know why this printer is the best deal that you can make.
