HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One

The speedy HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One (AIO) can stand toe to toe with low-cost color lasers.

Extraordinarily fast for business applications. High-quality graphics and photos. Low cost per page.

Relatively slow for photos. Text quality merely par for an inkjet.

Hewlett-Packard Color LaserJet 8500 N

We can't recommend this printer to anyone until HP finds a way to improve the output quality. If and when that happens, the paper-handling capabilities may outweigh the stiff price tag for a large office.
