HP Officejet 6000 Wireless review        

Growing on the successful launch of the Officejet Pro series in March, HP released the HP Officejet 6000 series in late May 2009. The HP Officejet 6000 line includes two configurations: the 6000 base model and the 6000 Wireless.  Both configurations feature fast draft print speeds up to 32 page per minute (ppm) in black and 31 ppm in color, individual ink tanks including a black pigment-based ink, and HP’s improved paper path found on the Officejet Pro series released in March.  However, the Officejet 6000 Wireless also features built-in duplexing and embedded wireless connectivity.

OFFICEJET 6000 WIRELESS SPECIFICATIONS

Print speeds: up to 32 ppm in draft black, 31 ppm in draft color, Print resolution: up to 600 dpi black, 4800 x 1200 dpi color. First page out: as fast as 20 seconds. Monthly duty cycle: up to 7,000 pages Built-in duplexing. Four individual ink tanks; pigment-based black, dye-based color. Wireless, Ethernet and USB 2.0 connectivity. 192 MHz processor with 32 MB memory standard. Automatic paper sensors, borderless printing.

BUILD AND DESIGN

The Officejet 6000 Wireless is similar looking to the Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless with a sleek black and gray design but a tad smaller and a little less fancy.  The single function printer is compact; the maximum dimensions are 18.03 x 19.47 x 6.45 inches and it weighs less than 11 lbs. The top of the Officejet 6000 pulls open to reveal the inside of the machine for access to the printhead and ink tanks. Since the Officejet 6000 is a pretty basic printer, the control panel is as well.

Ease of use

• If you have ever owned or operated an inkjet printer previously, you’ll have no problems installing ink cartridges on the Officejet 6000.   There are four cartridges: three dye-based color HP 920 cartridges and one pigment-based HP 920 black cartridges.  Each cartridge spot on the printhead is labeled to match the ink with an unique symbol in the specific color. The HP Solution Center for the Officejet 6000 is simple; access downloaded HP software, access printer settings, use HP’s provided marketing program, shop for additional supplies, check printer statues and get support. IF you decide to bypass all the software during the setup, users can access printer settings through the properties/preference tab in the print menu.

Print tests

• In draft mode, the Officejet 6000 would print an average of 17 ppm with a first page out in nine seconds. The Officejet 6000 wireless configuration does include automatic duplexing.  Printing a 38 page document took almost 13 minutes in normal mode; it took half the time to print a 38 page document in duplexing draft mode. It printed a 4x6 photo in about 30 seconds depending on the image.  The nice thing about the Officejet 6000 is that it doesn’t slow down considerably when printing multiple 4x6 images.

Print quality

• The draft mode quality is good as well, perfect for any sort of average, day-to-day print jobs.  Plus, printing in draft mode will perserve the ink, saving you money. When it comes to color documents, you found that the print quality was good for an inkjet when using plain copy paper but great when using a presentation paper or HP’s Colorlok paper. HP Officejet 6000 Wireless review really good for a machine intended for office use (if it is photo printing you want, check out the HP Photosmart Premium Fax). ( Source By Sarah Meyer ).
