In a world filled with cheap but underpowered inkjet multifunction printers (MFPs), using the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus is a pleasant departure. One of the most competent MFPs for the price (US$300 as of 12/05/2011), it lacks nothing in its features, is solidly constructed, fully supports...
Pros:
  • Fast
  • Cheap ink
  • Solid construction
Cons:
  • Non-LCD controls are slow

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One

Aimed squarely at micro and small offices, the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One ($299.99 direct) is more directly competitive with low-end color laser MFPs like the HP LaserJet Pro 100 Color MFP M175nw ($349.99 direct, 3 stars) than with inkjets.
Pros:
  • Fast
  • High-quality output
  • Duplexes
  • Duplexing automatic document feeder
  • Legal-size flatbed
  • Prints through cloud
Cons:
  • A little larger than most inkjet MFPs

Good value, feature packed all-in-one

The printer speed is excellent and the double sided scanning and copying is a real plus at this price. I've used the AirPrint feature to print from my iPhone and iPad which is really neat (no drivers needed!). You can also print by sending the printer an email which is quite cool.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One review: HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One

If you can find a desk to accommodate its large size, the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus all-in-one printer serves up top-shelf output quality at rapid print speeds, suitable for offices, home users, and photo enthusiasts hunting for an upgrade. The $299 HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One printer is an updated version of the Pro 8500A Plus multifunction CNET reviewed last year. The flagship of HP's workcentric inkjet line gets a performance makeover from the inside out, with improvements to the speed of the print engine and the texture of the 4.3-inch touch-screen display, and a sleeker chassis that hides fingerprints better than the previous version. The device also takes printing to the cloud with ePrint and an accompanying iOS application that make the Officejet Pro 8600A Plus an impressively resourceful printer. I recommend it for home offices and professional environments that need a dependable workhorse printer.
Pros:
  • The HP Officejet 8600 Plus prints professional-quality photos and documents quickly with versatile connectivity options and robust features like an auto-duplexer
  • cloud printing
  • and a legal-size scanning bay.
Cons:
  • The touch screen requires aggressive finger presses to actuate the display functions
  • and there's no way to calibrate its sensitivity.
