Note too that HP has also announced the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium e-All-in-One ($399.99 direct) which HP says is the identical printer with the second tray added plus a set of standard color ink cartridges that normally costs $59.97 and 50 sheets of HP Glossy Brochure paper that normally costs $13.99. If you need more, however, you can add a second 250-sheet tray ($79.99 direct) for a total 500-sheet capacity. The 8600 offers reasonably high paper capacity as well, with a 250-sheet input tray, which should be enough for most home, micro, and small offices.

You can also scan, fax, or email both simplex and duplex documents. The 8600 Plus also goes well beyond the basics with a built-in print duplexer for printing on both sides of a page and a 50-page automatic document feeder (ADF) that also duplexes, so you can copy from single- or double sided originals to your choice of single- or double-sided copies. You can also use the touch screen with HP's Web Apps, including for example Biztree Forms App (Free), and Financial Times News App (Free, 3 stars) that I recently reviewed. The printer connects by WiFi or Ethernet (as well as USB of course), it supports Apple AirPrint for printing from iThings over Wi-Fi, and it can print through the cloud using HP's ePrint, which lets you assign the printer an email address and then send documents as attachments for printing.įor the home side of the dual role of home and home office MFP, the 8600 Plus also offers such photocentric features as the ability to print from a memory card or USB key and the ability to show images before printing on its 4.3-inch color LCD.Īlso worth mention is the legal-size flatbed, which can come in handy in any office, and the touch-screen interface with well-designed menus for the printer control panel.
