Hewlett-Packard Printers: Handy No Matter What

By Matthew Kerridge

Hewlett-Packard, commonly known as HP, offer a broad line of printers and all-in-one printer-scanner-copiers to be used for every possible need or situation. From photo printing to office-quality jobs to high-volume, high-quality printouts, HP printers can do it. If you're a visual artist and need your printer to show off every detail in your work, or if you're just a student who needs to print out that paper as cheaply and conveniently as possible, you can depend on HP as a trusted partner in all your printing needs.

The Deskjet line of personal printer has been trusted for over twenty years, demonstrating HP's leadership in the field. The Deskjet is the average person's printer, with a durable design, iconic fold-up tray, and extremely attractive cost. With its elegant design and $30 price tag (for the cheapest model on HP's website), no printer is used more than the Deskjet.

For the business professional, the Officejet is the perfect model of HP printer. With portable as well as desktop models, the Officejet is designed to print quickly, quietly and efficiently, using up to 40% less energy and ink than laser printers. Most Officejet models can be tapped into any network without any work - they are network-ready, no matter where you are.

If you're looking for a high-efficiency printer, look no further than the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet. Designed for use in high-speed environments such as office complexes, copy centers, universities, and businesses of all sorts, the LaserJet, like most HP printers, also has All-in-One options. Some LaserJet models' notable features include: speeds starting at 15 pages/ minute and going to 35 per minute. Not all LaserJet models are available for color printing, as color tends to slow down the printing process.

Got a digital camera but no way to get professional-quality prints? Check out the HP Photosmart printer. Just plug your camera into it, run through the menus, and print out the pictures you want. Or plug the printer into your computer and print out high-quality images from email attachments or online digital files. Most models have automatic red-eye removal and are able to print up to-x19" photographs.

If you're starting your own business, you'll want the flagship HP printer, the Business Inkjet. It looks unassuming, even with its double paper rack, but the Business Inkjet packs a lot more punch than its appearance would assume. It can connect to any network instantly, offers automatic two-sided printing, and contains four high-capacity individual color cartridges. There are more options with the Business Inkjet than you can shake a stick at, and every photo, document, or presentation you print out will be the best you've ever seen.

The HP Designjet was made with professional designers, architects, artists, or anyone who wants the best quality printing in mind. The Designjet can print documents up to 24" wide and is able to use all different types of paper, from drafting rolls to cardstock to 80lb heavy paper. Most models of Designjet come with multiple ink cartridges (eight to twelve), so your work's color is as accurate and vibrant as possible. - 29854
