HP Photosmart C6280 All-in-One printer

 

The HP Photosmart C6280 is the company's mid-range All-in-One printer aimed at photo enthusiasts and small offices / home office workers up and down the country. But is it any good? We get printing to find out. At £199 the C6280 is more expensive that...

Print quality, memory card reader, six inks

No Wi-Fi, scanner flatbed awkward to use

At £199 the C6280 is more expensive that its older C6180 but disappointingly doesn't come with as many features. The lack of Wi-Fi is a very strange omission for a business printer, as is the document feeder on the top for scanning multiple pages....

HP PhotoSmart C6280 review

 

The PhotoSmart C6280 is one of the more expensive multifunction photo printers around, but it's a well designed device that provides a good combination of performance, quality and features.

There’s a little room for improvement in photo-print quality, but even so, the HP PhotoSmart C6280's all-round performance, quality and good Mac support make it a good choice for anyone that needs a reliable, high-quality printer for their office.

HP PhotoSmart C6280

 

Multifunction Printers offer impressive print quality, and require less space than a separate scanner, printer and fax. Macworld takes a look at six of the best.

Solidly built printer that provides good performance and quality, along with good Mac support

Colours on photo prints could be bolder, as manually adjusting colour settings soon becomes a chore

There's a little room for improvement in photo-print quality, but even so, the PhotoSmart's all-round performance, quality and good Mac support make it a good choice for anyone that needs a reliable, high-quality printer for their office.

HP Photosmart C6280

 

Affordable photo printing

Scan to' feature, inexpensive consumables

Quality inconsistent

The latest addition to HP’s Photosmart line-up, the C6280 is a capable multi-function for families and home users. However, it has quality issues and lacks CD/DVD printing.

HP Photosmart C6280 All-in-One review: HP Photosmart C6280 All-in-One

 

HP Photosmart C6280 All-in-One

Built-in networking; built-in duplexer; dedicated photo paper tray; competitive print costs; good color scans.

Print quality needs improvement; slow print speeds; menus aren't intuitive and easily navigable (some features are unnecessarily buried); no PictBridge port; lacks advanced copy and memory card options; no scannable index.

The HP Photosmart C6280 lacks many of the features that make a photo all-in-one compelling, and its print quality disappoints. Your $200 is better spent on a different all-in-one.

HP PhotoSmart C6280

 

This printer is a lot better than my old one. The print quality is good as is the speed of the printing. Set up is a little bit long but comprehensive.

One bad point is that a USB cable is not included and I think it should be bearing in mind that cables are inexpensive.
