HP Officejet Pro 8100 ePrinter Review: Fast, Inexpensive Operation

If you're looking for a low-priced color laser printer for your small office, look again: For a mere $150 (as of May 1, 2012), you can obtain high-speed, good-quality color printing with HP's Officejet Pro 8100 ePrinter. This classily-styled color...

Cheap ink ; Speedy

Oversaturated color graphics

Small workgroups looking at color lasers should note that this inkjet is faster and cheaper to operate, and that it can print crisp text as well as very nice photos.

HP Officejet Pro 8100 ePrinter

One last important strong point is the low claimed running cost, at 1.6 cents per black and white page and 7.2 cents per color page. That's a lot less expensive than most competitive ink jets or lasers. It's also a match for the WP-4020 for black and...

Fast. Reasonably high-quality output. Duplexes. Prints through cloud. Low claimed cost per page

A little big and heavy for an inkjet

The HP Officejet Pro 8100 ePrinter is a prime example of a new generation of inkjets that can go head to head with color lasers on speed while beating them on price.

Probably the best printer I've owned

I started losing faith in HP with the 6000 series printers that took forever to print and made a lot of weird noises. I've been using the 8100 everyday at work for months and it seems like the ink is lasting forever compared to other printers I've...

HP Officejet Pro 8100 ePrinter - N811a/N811d
