CONSTRUCTION
+ The device has a footprint of 60 x 40 cm and upwards should have a free space of 40-50 cm when the holders are completely undressed for the paper feeder (at A3). Schön is the concept for closing by one can close the lid for paper output and feeding dustproof forward and upward when the printer is not used for a while. Closed housing provides the only flat surfaces that can be wiped off quickly.
INSTALLATION
+ Hardware installation is very simple: Peel the ink cartridges from their film and cancel the signal red caps and use. All 6 cartridges are color-coded, and every time you install each another red LED lights up - done!
+ Connect the printer to the computer, tablet etc .: possible via USB or Wi-Fi
+ Registration of the printer to the router was initially not very easy, especially since it was the first time for me to install a printer using WPS. Because there is actually an inconspicuous button on the router, in which "WiFi" (not WPS) is. Nevertheless, I had to activate the new MAC address only. But how to get the MAC address? Correct: an expression of the network settings at the printer. For this you have to press one of two buttons a little longer and loaded paper page with the network settings will come out.
+ Install printer drivers: If you want to use WLAN, should be communicated before installing the printer to the router (see above). Only then will the printer is detected when installing the driver. CD into the drive and off you go. That takes some time and in the end have an additional strip of an angle in the right corner and a small window that is called Image Display, opened. I have the driver in Windows 7 and 8 installed, both times with no problems. However, what has since installed at functions, is largely superfluous. But you have a choice during installation. Important is the option for the tool for labeling CD / DVD and the printer driver itself Everything else you can leave safely -. It's just annoying.
+ After the switching does not care much. Only when the Ducker receives a print job, it begins to work and starts first time for 1-2 minutes to clean its print heads. This, however, only the first time after switching on. When in standby it consumes about 1 watt of power (even measured).
PRO
+ Print screen: the printed image is good and the OfficeJet 7000 par. The printed Siemens stars show the same pattern. The edges are sharp and similar to the gradient of the gray levels are just stage. What is striking is the black tone, which seems less tired at HP something instensiver and Canon. Grays appear slightly bluish at Canon.
+ The color contrast, come very beautiful, especially on glossy paper. Compared with the object everything looks colorfast. Even Purple tones and skin tones are well taken.
+ Borderless printing: nice is the borderless printing, the works perfectly. The printer driver is already in the print preview, what comes out on the paper. This makes HP not as accurate. So you can experiment before printing even at the various settings until the format is as you want it.
+ Tray: can be as paper-shock inserted above individually or together. This has the advantage that it is easily accessible and very easy to do especially when frequent changes of format. When OfficeJet 7000 you have to take out the cartridge and adjust its settings for paper size cumbersome.
+ Print speed is also very good. Plain paper rustles black and white formally by (20 / min). Color images take much longer and are similar to slow as the OfficeJet 7000th
+ Ink: It is difficult to calculate and is known to depend on the color of printouts.
+ Pressure sounds: are low, most noise makes the paper feed whenever he draws a new leaf
+ Paper Feed: also works with thicker papers or cardboard, I have printed, for example also plastic sheets
+ Expression of CDs: There are a small software application with a variety of templates. The program remembers somewhere already edited "art", but does not provide that the stores on disk. Thus, the works of art at the end are volatile. The handling of CDs is simple - on the paper output a small flap opens, where you can then introduce the drawer with the CD. Clear: the CDs should be the White recordable CDs.
CONCLUSION
Compared with the OfficeJet 7000 (networking instead of WLAN), which is no longer so new, admittedly, the Canon cuts off slightly better. The print quality of the printer is similar - with minor degradation while Canon PIXMA iP8750, eg black level. The borderless printing and the ability to print on CDs, making it more attractive for.
