It is the ideal space-saving and cost-cutting solution combining 4 machines in one compact design, at a reasonable cost. The HP Photosmart C6183 offers decent print speeds and good quality outputs. It is compatible with the most used operating systems in the planet. However, operation may slow down when it comes to scanning complicated documents.
Design
The Photosmart line is known for its stylish and compact design, and the HP Photosmart C6183 is the perfect example. It measures only about 11.8x17.7x7.44 inches and is pretty lightweight at 23.28 pounds, considering it stuffs 4 different machines in one device. It has 4 card slots to accommodate various types of memory cards, plus a PictBridge port for direct printing from cameras. The HP Photosmart C6183 also supports USB, wireless, and Ethernet connectivity, and is Bluetooth-capable (with the optional wireless adapter).
Advantages
The scanner cum copier boasts 1200x1200dpi and 4800x1200dpi (black and white and colour, respectively). This device also prints on multiple types of media, including envelopes, cards, and as well as transparencies. The HP Photosmart C6183 uses 6 individual cartridges for producing precise graphics and images.
Disadvantages
Software glitches are the main issue with the HP Photosmart C6183. Errors are periodically detected; reinstalling the software may or may not solve the problem. The software package also installs some unnecessary features that only cause some computers (especially those with low memories) to slow down.
