HP Photosmart C6380 All-In-One Inkjet

 

Great print quality at a great price makes the HP Photosmart C6380 a great buy.

The HP Photosmart C6380 is a fine all-in-one machine not just for photo enthusiasts and but for any mainstream home or even small business customer. It's easy to use, relatively cheap to run and produces high quality prints. The convenience of a...

HP Photosmart C6380 All-in-One review

 

Take the HP Photosmart Premium Fax all-in-one , strip away the fax machine and auto-document feeder and you have the HP Photosmart C6380. It retains all the features you need to bring your photos to life: 9,600 by 2,400dpi flatbed scanner, dual paper...

Inexpensive; dual output trays; fast output speed; painless Wi-Fi setup; comprehensive driver software; easy to use; small footprint.

Output quality will not satisfy professional photographers.

The HP Photosmart C6380 is a good fit for beginning photographers who want more than just a simple printer. Its six-ink cartridge bay, and scanning and copying capabilities extend its versatility, and while the output quality suffers a few missteps,...

HP Photosmart C6380 review

 

The HP Photosmart C6380 performed pretty well in our tests. It printed plain-text pages at a rate of 11.3 pages per minute (ppm), and colour graphics as fast as 3.2ppm - above average compared with the competition, though far slower than HP's claims...

A few things about the HP Photosmart C6380 seem not to fit with its midrange price. In most ways, however, it handles a multifunction printer's many tasks with aplomb, making it one of the better-designed competitors on the market.

HP - Photosmart C6380

 

All-in-one printers (or multi-function devices, if you prefer), have all but killed off the desktop scanner for home users. HP's latest creation, the Photosmart C6380, sits at the top end of the all-in-one market and promises ...

With an RRP of £249, the Photosmart C6380 is a little on the expensive side, and noticeable omissions include a fax module and auto-document feeder (ADF). However, those interested in bagging a bargain should take advantage of HP's current offer, which...

The ‘office' grey of the HP Photosmart C6380 feels rather more functional than stylish, but does it do the job?

HP Photosmart C6380

 

All the connectivity you'll ever need.

Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity, fast printing, great quality, comprehensive scanning methods

Some banding apparent in photos, under-saturated scanning results, Bluetooth is optional

The C6380 one-ups the C5380 in almost all respects, with its only failing being a slight decrease in photo print quality. Overall, the 6380 is a great addition to the networked home.

HP Photosmart C6380

 

HP's Photosmart C6380 All-In-One color inkjet multifunction may target home photo enthusiasts, but it does a good job at nearly everything. Still, a few of its features are a bit skimpy for the price.

Simple control panel ; Very good print quality

Small color LCD ; Orangey fleshtones on photo paper

This home/school model prints good-looking text and photos quickly, and the inks are well priced.
