Excellent Quality and Performance All-In-One

Feb 3, 2009

Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: Color quality, speed/performance, wi-fi, fast setup, color LCD, easy-to-read buttons/navigation, 4"x6" tray, duplex printing, borderless printing, faxing and many more...
Cons: None that I can think of.
Opinion:
I've only used this all-in-one for about two days (I bought it two days ago) and couldn't be happier. Coming from two HP printers in the past, I always expect better quality in later models and that's what I received with the C7280.

It performs some functions well but the reason I purchased it was to generate reports for clients and it cannot print fast. It does not matter what the specifications say, the paper feed tray is unable to feed paper as fast as the machine wants and jams several times during every report.

As a rule, do not try in print in fast draft because it will jam paper. The software has bugs in it and this too does not allow it to print fast. Our previous HP printer could actually do 30 pages per minute. This printer in the “draft” mode stops every page and waits three or four seconds between printing. This machine can only create 10 pages a minute in draft mode. After several phone calls and e-mails to Hewlett-Packard, the technicians in Pakistan have no idea what ... Read more
