There were various reasons for buying a new multifunction printer, including: Airprint, network scan, Email scan, relatively inexpensive printing costs / ink tanks (3rd Party), print speed. Everything is better compared to the old Canon.
As for these reasons has convinced me of the printer. There will be no everlasting printhead cleanings instead eh times he starts to print. A common problem with the Canon equipment.
The Officejet just in networking many options that are important to me.
However, I assumed that can keep a new Mulitifunktionsgerät with a 5 years old in the field Canon ADF scan, scan templates and color photo printing. - Even if it is a "Office" device really is.
Unfortunately, I was disappointed.
In all these disciplines the "old" Canon is still miles ahead.
Scanning:
The document feeder has thus far been all too bruised letters moved in with me, without any problems, but by the gescannen quality (300dpi color PDF), it is only sufficient for office applications. The same can be said of the Vorlangenglas scan.
If you want to scan a photo here, which must prepare themselves, this must still be extensively later in Photoshop. Even at the highest quality (HP Scanning software, 1200dpi, Optimized for photos), the scanned image (10x15) simply bad. It is Grainy, Low Contrast, blurred sättigungsarm and farbverfälscht.
Furthermore, all documents, as much as I try to place it at right angles into the document feeder, later me wrong in the PDF file. Usually not much but they are still unbalanced.
Print:
Printing in normal quality goes quickly and without the hassle of cleaning before the first printing. The text prints are good at graphics: Ok.
Photo printing on HP Photo Paper Adv. OK, but not very good. That's what the old Canon much better hinbekommen. The print appears a little too dark and despite the highest print resolution a bit blurry and grainy in the shades.
Unfortunately, the printer makes despite repeated calibration of the line feed on the printer-private line feed test sheet from time to time small white strokes.
Ergonomics:
There been no complaints. The display can be easily operated even if it would like something larger may fail.
It would be nice if the off by the admin functions such as fax would no longer appear in the printer display. What good is it if I can not select "Fax", but then only get the message "Fax disabled".
The web interface of the printer works fast and in my opinion is very clear.
The software, with me for OSX (MAC) is running properly, however, is somewhat limited. The HP Scan program is limited to the bare minimum. There is not even an overview scan. That's why I mostly use "OSX Preview" to scan.
In the first installation there were problems with the "Scan to Computer". This feature did not exist with me or they would not work partout. A new installation and add the printer via the Bonjour protocol in OSX instead of IP fixed the problem.
The enclosed "Drivers CD" is nothing more than a shortcut to the Support / Download site from HP included. No driver! Because HP would have the CD also can save all. I admit, I also invite always the latest drivers from the Internet and rarely take the included driver, but it will certainly disturb one or the other.
+ Fast printing
+ Cheap 3rd party ink tanks
+ Network tools (Airprint, network scan ..)
+ Duplexing
+ Solid optics + good ergonomics
+ Warranty extension to 3 years after registering with HP
+ EPrint
+ - Print quality: text / graphics
- Scan Quality
- Photo print quality
- Scan Software
- Driver CD
Conclusion: Who needs a networkable printer for his home office, the copied texts and now and then prints out a graphic that gets a fast reliable printer.
Someone of a solid all-rounder studied the texts and photos in high quality and with no time pressure printing and scanning, perhaps should rather similar at Canon inform ..
