what is the performance difference between 8500 pro inkjet all-in one and 8630 inkjet
1660765
hp officejet pro 8630 is faster, wireless & boots up immediately when turned on; I had a 8500 pro, used it a lot, but the 8630 is the best so far; been using hp printers for years

It's wireless, and my home office is approximately 75 feet from the router, but no problem getting the signal to print wireless; when you turn it on, it comes on instantly; the 8500 that I had, every time I turned it on, it would go through a couple of minutes of booting up, checking the printer, etc.; the 8630 does not do that; so far, I am very pleased with this printer, no problems what-so-ever

Seems to be close to the 8500. The specs show it to be slightly slower if I recall correctly.

When I got 8620, I checked the information decal inside both 8600 and 8920; both indicate the same 950 or 951 ink cartridges; I also compared cartridges from both and they are of the same exact configuration case. 8620 appears to be a slight upgrade of the original 8600.

I only own the 2540, but just scanning the specs, it seems as if the 2542 is faster. I can't see any other notable difference: both offer wireless connectivity and the ability to do basic printing jobs as well as scanning and copying. They use the same inks, and the printing & scanning resolution seems similar. You may want to ask HP what the differences between them are (vs whether they are basically the same device). The paper feed on the 2542 may be different? But I can't tell without having one here, and suspect that many others out there own either one or the other but not both, and so may have a tough time addressing this question.

The 800 series are much thinner than the 600s. On the 860 you can manually engage/disengage 24p processing while on the 850 it's automatic. Seems pointless if you ask me.

You have a point there but to me MX860 is a more attractive machine than MX850...and I really want to have WI-FI even though I can go as far as using a wireless bridge, I don't want to. Plus it remains to be seen which machine produces better quality prints for those occasions when I do want a lab-like print out. For now, there is not enough reviews out there from sites like CNET.Although interestingly enough, looking at the specs I see that MX850 has a lot more print nozzles then MX860...wonder what that means in terms of quality or maybe that's why 860 is slower. In either case, I'll give 860 a shot. But if Wi-FI wasn't a "really-want-to-have" feature for me, I would consider MX850.

Bottom line I like the 3640 a lot more than the 3540(which dates back to the 840 and 845 - which I owned) Some times I do a lot of printing - other times the printer sits. The 3640 has different print head technology that differs from the previous 3 mentioned above. So far I am not finding any need to clean print heads on the 3640 which as u know wastes a lot of ink. I found that to be more of an issue on previous generations. The imput panel is superior with real keys as opposed to all touch panel. I reall like it a better and it appears to be a little more economical (just a feeling) I find myself the most pleased with this model - go onto Epson's site - they did change and improve the print head technology. Hope this helps. Feature wise they are very similar.

I just bought the pro-100 so I haven't used it a lot. I still can tell you a few things. It is large and heavy, not portable at all, but it can print very large pictures etc. The print quality is very good to excellent. I also have a Canon IP6700D that uses the same style ink cartrige and they are easy to refill. I have refilled these many times over several years with no problems. I can add ink without taking them out of the printer. This saves a lot of time and money. Refill kits are easy to fine on line. If the pro 100 lasts as long as the 6700D I will be very happy with it. With the rebate, I think it is a good buy. Hope this helps. I just bought the pro-100 so I haven't used it a lot. I still can tell you a few things.

Hi you can just go to this unit on amazon. It will be below the product with specs. Or just google it.The 850 is pretty small have on my desk beside a 27 mac. It is using ink. Trying to make this better. Tom

I don't know. I used it in an Officejet 850 printheads only and it seemed fine.

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.

Epson 127 is a high capacity ink. If you Google this question, you can read in detail the difference.

Yes WH, The 951 XL is the 3 color ink package that like the 950XL is used on the HP pro 8600 printer. In the event you are not aware....the XL moniker acknowledges it's a larger size amount of ink within the cartridges. SG

Dear Ed, The 8600 Officejet Pro does connect using a USB cable if you wish. Wireless is an option only if you wish. A question I have (which you DIDN'T ask): Can you connect the Officejet Pro both using a USB cable and wirelessly, and if so is there any advantage? I have installed two of them in two locations using wireless so the printer can be placed anywhere it has power, but I have wondered if I had it near a computer and connected it with a USB cable could I as well use wireless (e.g., if I wanted to carry the printer to a work area where the cable would not reach). Wireless performance is flawless, and I have printed large PDF documents in duplex with no problem. Dear Ed, The 8600 Officejet Pro does connect using a USB cable if you wish.

Although this isn't the same model I have, your all-in-one printers are inkjets. They would otherwise specify if they were laser printer.

The ink package itself will tell you what models it is good for. You should be able to get an ink cartridge for the 730.

I really didn't know, so I looked online. It appears the HP Officejet Pro 8630 e-All-in-One Wireless Color Inkjet Printer uses both the 950, & 951. For backup, you could always check at someplace like office Depot. I just asked the computer, what HP cartridges fit the 8630. This is the answer I found. Hope this helps.Good Luck!
