After much research we chose the HP device. To select some Epson WorkForce still standing devices. These were for a more expensive, on the other hand guarantee with just one year is significantly shorter at Epson. In addition, the web interface for device management is probably pretty bad. When printing pace of HP has also cut off much better. The Photo Print Quality should be better with the Epson models.
The long-term experience in the Forum of druckeronkel.de talk about is the many thousands of pages for printing a very solid construction. In addition, the cost of printing at HP are very low.
The HP Officejet 8100 is very stable. The solid construction also means a large parking space. Who has little space, should look at before the measurements exactly.
The paper capacity is 250 pages with a good size. Unlike the Epson WorkForce printers unfortunately there is no manual feed tray, so you always have to put individual sheets into the drawer.
The standard Windows driver is very spartan, but the web interface to manage the printer is much better advised. Since we are using the device on the network, I can easily manage the browser settings from my desk. Who wants to have more setting in the printer driver, the driver can install the HP K550 (from Win 7 via Windows Update).
The machine prints compared to its predecessor pleasantly quiet and very fast (another plus compared with the Workforce devices).
As I repeatedly prints small layout things I've tested the accuracy of double-sided printing. While its predecessor, yet a significant vertical Veschiebung of a few millimeters had, the Officejet 8100 prints the automatic double-sided printing with a minute displacement of about 0.3 mm. In the horizontal pressure is absolutely accurate.
We will soon be the device with the second paper tray so we upgraded without changing recycled paper and high-white print.
Those who value high-quality photo printing, you have access to a device with more inks and significantly higher printing costs. Personally, I find the quality for occasional photo printing perfectly adequate. You can high-quality photos in any case economic of imaging.
In the network via LAN port on the print works fine. Wireless I have not tested.
Conclusion:
Solid, effective printer with unbeatable printing costs. Quick and quiet, precise mechanism for the double-sided printing.
