HP Business Inkjet 2800dtn

High-quality output compared with other ink jets, particularly for text and graphics. Duplexer. 400-sheet paper capacity. Trays for maximum 13- by 19-inch paper

Graphics show mild banding in default mode. Slow performance for PDF test files

The HP Business Inkjet 2800dtn prints text and graphics at high quality and reasonably high speed. It also offers excellent paper handling for an ink jet.

Worst printer I ever bought

I was an engineer for a printer company and have bought hundreds of printers over the years, mostly HPs. I was absolutely stunned at the poor performance of this printer. HP support admitted it didn't work well with Macs, sent multiple driver patches...

Does not work well with Mac (from HP tech support)

Not Enough Memory!

It works great on small file formats but if you have a large photo it won't print. You have to compress the quality down for it to work. HP says I need more memory and that cost a LOT. HP does this on most of there printer and plotters. Get am EPSON!

Have to upgrade memory","Large files won\'t print

Too expensive, too fussy, dies young!

It has a very large footprint, even for a desktop wide format printer. The paper feed has always been iffy, especially when using the manual feed. The duplexer works well, but slow. The printheads cost $40 each and burn up fast. After 3.5 years it...
