You can adjust the color print settings to a vibrant and higher qua lity to match that of the similar quality put out by a color laser. Quality of the print appears to be the same if not identical to that of the laser. ** Pros: Officejet 8500 Ink Cartridge costs are much lower than that of any Ink Cartridge cost of running a laser printer.
I replaced both with this HP Officejet Pro 8500 Premier Wireless All-in-One 909n. The first was a HP Model 5510 (low budget all-in-one - $109) and a HP Color Laser Model 2600n - $299). Over the last 3 years I have used two HP printers to run my business. I run a Small Business in which we print a good amount of documents, mostly in black n white, color on occasion, and also have a high need to scan clients documents as they are presented to us to prepare Tax Returns and other Accounting related Statements and Documents. HP Officejet Pro 8500 Premier All-in-One A909n (CB025A) Brochures, index cards, envelopes, transparencies, and photos can all be printed quickly from the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Premier, which makes this printer a must-have for the office. This printer can produce 35 black pages per minute, and 34 color pages per minute, so the HP Inkjet printer can complete high capacity jobs in just a few minutes. Double-sided printing is no problem for the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Premier, and scanned documents can be easily sent via email without connecting a computer. This HP Inkjet printer also comes standard with Wi-Fi and Ethernet technology, which simplifies networking. This all-in-one printer has three trays that hold a combined total of 550 pages, which results in less time spent refilling the paper tray. Keeping the printed stocked with ink and paper can be expensive, but the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Premier boasts high-quality prints at half the cost of prints on a laser printer.
