how does this printer compare to the office jet pro 8100?

I use the 8100 at work and 251dw at home. I haven't noticed much difference in print quality or functionality. The 251dw was extremely easy to set up for network printing. 8100 uses 4 separate ink cartridges, which can be costly. The printer won't print if one of the cartridges is low.

Its an upgrade from the P110i, they have different options for printing cards. It works just fine for me.

Andrew, I have found that the HP Officejet Pro 251dw smears far less than any other HP printer I have had. It does a very nice job of printing - very crisp.

The HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer was passed over to me by my grandson. It was purchased a few years ago, and my daughter did not keep a lot of the paperwork (instructions, specifications or parts list) that comes in the original box at purchased.Most important, I'm not computer-savvy at all; and can't answer your question, from the top of my head, at this time.I hope you get your answer from a more printer knowledgable person.I'M SORRY!!James M.

I have the Artisan 810 and it is a major ink hog. Probably will return to HP and accept some of their flaws. At least the HP ink is a lot less expensive that the Epson. Too bad since in most other aspects, the 810 is a decent all in one unit.

I am very happy with this printer. When they refer to subpar for photo and graphics, they are comparing it to ink jet quality especially for photos. For general use and office it is very acceptable. The average person will be quite satisfied.this is not meant for professional graphics use. I recommend you go to a retail store and check out some sample print outs. That's the only way to know for sure. All I can say is that I am quite satisfied.

VERY IMPORTANT - In Office 10 "Word" THE HP 8100 Office Jet PRO envelope printing......On the Envelope setting make sure by clicking OPTIONS that the selection is feed from TRAY 1 and that the position selection is feed from the center.REMOVE paper from the tray and move the guides to feed the envelope from the center. IF YOU DON"T DO THIS YOU CANNOT PRINT THE ENVEOPE it will misfeed every time. Took me a while to figure it out!

I like it better. I have several pieces of equipment (scanner, printer, etc.); if one breaks down, I only have to get that piece fixed, not the whole computer. I am really, really happy with the HP Pavilion and esp. with Windows 8, love it. I also love the 2013 version of MS Word.

I made the mistake of using compatible ink in my s9000 and it started printing everything in pink. When I went to Frye's to buy a new scanner (did I mention that my old scanner died around the same time that the s9000 started printing in pink?), I found the PRO 9000. My portfolio was due for school last Thursday, and the thought of taking all my stuff to a print shop and paying $10/sq ft was enough to put me into a panic. When figuring in the cost of print shop printing, the PRO 9000 became affordable. I also got Fry's additional warranty which allows me to bring the printer back for service/replacement in the case that it breaks or stops working properly. I've printed all of my portfolio pages, and they look great. Even the ones that I printed on canson smooth bristol paper (it had some streaking, but that's what I get for not using the proper paper; it was sufficient for my immediate need). Printing on matte photo paper was SPECTACULAR! Why upgrade if you're not in a portfolio pinch? The s9000 had nice output, but the pro9000 is pretty spectacular. Also, you can print up to 14x17 paper, not that canon advertises this, but I've been doing it. The printer also closes up when it's not in use so there is no paper feed to allow dust and other miscellaneous crud to fall into the printer when it's not in use. I would only use the OEM printer cartridges with this printer. I've obviously had some bad luck using compatible replacement cartridges. Yes, they cost less, but I'm convinced that's why the s9000 only prints in shades of pink now.

I believe the pro-100 replaces the pro9000. I purchased the pro-100 and returned it because it did print envelopes well and the rear feed for extra thick stock did not seem to be set up well although i did not test that function. I do now know how well it works with plain paper or photo reproduction for for my needs it was not good. For that it may be a fine machine.

I have not printed envelopes on this model as yet but tray 2 under the machine can be set to hold the envelopes in the middle of the tray & since it appears to work in a similar manner to my former 3500a officejet I have no doubt it will work. So far I have done letter (single & double sided), legal (single & double sided) using tray 1 with has a side entry, as well as booklet using legal paper in tray 1. All printed without any issues & with a speed I used to just dream about. The 3500a was fast at over 30ppm but it slowed down a lot when doing double sided & could only do double sided with letter paper. This printer slows very little when you consider each sheet is 2 pages & does a great job. Since the envelopes are a single sided process I will have to test that just to find out but I suspect they will print at nearly full speed as well. I also just purchased the $129 5 cartridge ink set from the other estore & have just run a few test sheets with the black cartridge, much larger than the startup cartridge included with the printer, & there seems to be no issues there, so far. Time will tell but the price is worth the test. All in all, at this time, I couldn't be happier with this printer & its performance. I paid $300 for the 3500a about 5 years ago & printed many times the pages recommended & have now paid, it finally failed, the same for this printer so am looking forward to at least 5 years of great performance.

I don't keep such close tabs on the average page output that I could give an accurate count, but I am definitely happy with how long the ink does last compared to my previous Epson printers I had been using since 1995. This HP Officejet Pro 8100 is by far the best printer I've owned, especially for its long lasting ink, which makes the high price much easier to pay knowing it's a once or twice a year investment. I make a habit of using the draft setting for most of my non-presentation printing and I think that really adds a lot to the life of the ink cartridges. It appears to me that the page count HP gives for the ink is accurate.

That's the only difference I noticed. This printer is fantastically fast. It is truly the best printer I have ever own or seen. You will love it, I am sure!

I used to have a DCP7060D but I returned it pretty quick and chose a DC7065DN instead. These two printers are pretty similar, but there are 3 (big) advantages going with 7065DN: 1. Network capabilities (simply plug it in your home router and voila, you have a network printer for whole your household) 2. Multi-page scan/copy capability (with 7060D you have to feed one by one the pages you want to copy) 3. Slightly faster than 7060

Yes it is. I ordered both of the print heads needed for the HP Office jet Pro 8500 Wireless and have had no complaints. I use my printer a lot as I teach in my Sunday School and in 2 Family History Centers and have found the quality to be just like when I first got the printer. Great quality at a lesser price. Worth every penny

Yes...and the printer is tough and will last many years! I'm on my 2nd one...highly recommend it!

Not being there it is difficult to say about the ink smear. Normally I get my paper from WalMart next to the computer section. Georgia Pacific puts out papers made for the InkJets. I prefer the 24 pound weight paper over the 20 pound weight though it is probably a couple of bucks more expensive. Less hassle, paper absorbs the ink better and it has a decent brightness on it. You will have to look up which HP inks work with your printers. Normally HP provides software to tell you that information on the disk that comes with the computer. I normally do not use recycled ink even though it is cheaper. I find that there are very few bargains put out by HP on ink cartridges. Sam's Club has package deals that are better. Personally I use an 8600 deskjet and it uses 950/951 cartridges. I find it to be a pain to keep changing cartridges so I normally get the XL ones that have the extra ink. My other printer uses 564xl cartridges. The office jets hold more ink and last longer. The 309A photo printer I use strictly for quality printer and not production. HP is greedy. They quit making a triple quantity XL for the office jet because it lasts too long. Personally I think they need to have their heads examined. The greatest attraction to me is cheap ink, cheap but quality printer, and low overhead on everything. Our family could easily wear out a printer if the ink was reasonable. I considered one of the newer laser printers for that reason. Haven't upgraded to one yet. I think the laser cartridges are way too expensive for the average home.
