HP Officejet Pro 8718 Ink Cartridges

Design

The 8718 looks like an innovative device, with a wealth of curves and sub-sections to separate the input and output tray and the small touchscreen display. There is an easily accessible cartridge door housed on the front left of the unit, where users will be able to replace cartridges with standard or high-yield variants. On the rear, there are two fax ports and a USB port. Relatively large trays make this ideal for office use and there is support for a range of paper sizes, including A4.

Advantages

A 50-page automatic document feeder will make light work of jobs and tasks. Fast, high volume is the 8718’s remit and it doesn’t disappoint in real-world settings, where speed, quality and efficiency are more valued than ever before. HP Quiet Mode will also reduce ambient noise without any impact on the quality of prints. There is an abundance of connection options and users can print directly from a mobile device, such as a smartphone, with ease, which is convenient in office environments where a company network is not immediately accessible. Fax capabilities also set it apart from other inkjets.

Disadvantages

The rather bulky design may be too big for some smaller environments and the touchscreen may be fiddly to operate when processing a large bulk of copy, scan or print material. This printer may not be ideal for medium to large-scale offices.
