HP Officejet Pro 8500 A809 Printer Review

Expert review of the HP Officejet Pro 8500 A809 printer

Our Verdict:

Designed for small work places and home offices, the HP Officejet Pro 8500 A809 is a cost-effective alternative to more expensive laser printers and MFPs. What the HP Officejet Pro 8500 A809 lacks in functionality, it more than makes up for with its fast print speeds and good quality output. It is significantly larger than other single-function printers, though, and set-up may take longer because the printheads need to be installed one by one, in addition to the cartridges.

Design

The HP Officejet Pro 8500 A809 pretty much has the same look as the earlier Officejet Pro 8000. It is a rectangular box with the paper tray and automatic duplexer right in front. It does not come with a memory card reader — something that most printers have as a standard nowadays. It can easily be networked through wireless connection. The HP Officejet Pro 8500 A809 comes with 4 separate ink tanks — one black, one cyan, one, magenta, and one yellow.

Advantages

The HP Officejet Pro 8500 A809 is more affordable than lower-end laser printers and MFPs, making it a good choice for homes or small offices that don't really need a multifunction device and are contented with inkjet quality. It also boasts impressive print speeds of up to 35ppm in draft black and 34ppm in colour. 'Standard' quality texts come out at a rate of 15ppm and 11ppm, respectively. Duplexing is supported, and cartridges have high page yields.

Disadvantages

Set-up can be fiddly for the HP Officejet Pro 8500 A809, since the print heads come separately. The machine is not the quietest, and is certainly not the most compact.
