HP Deskjet 6940 and HP Deskjet 6980

 

With inkjet manufacturers jumping aboard the digital-camera bandwagon, there's a dearth of good all-round, office-friendly inkjets. HP has filled the gap with its Deskjet 6980 and 6940.

With these prices, neither printer is an impulse buy. However, they're excellent for home and office use - particularly if you want them for text work and other Office applications. For the typical user, the 6940 is the safest bet. However, if you use...

HP Deskjet 6940 review

 

The HP Deskjet 6940 is a basic color inkjet printer designed for home and small-office users who have low-volume printing needs but may want to print the occasional snapshot. In fact, its price, features, and print quality make it a great printer for...

The HP Deskjet 6940 is network ready, has a PictBridge port for PC-free photo printing, is compatible with both Windows and Mac PCs, and is backed by generous support options.

An autoduplexer and a larger input tray will cost you extra, and the HP ink is expensive. If you switch often between document and photo printing, you'll spend a chunk of time changing out ink tanks, too.

The HP Deskjet 6940 isn't a top-of-the-line inkjet, but with its affordable price, networkability, and decent print quality, it's a good choice for students in a dorm room and budget-conscious home office users.
