Reviews of the HP Photosmart C6280 All-in-One

    CNET Review

    October 1, 2007

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

    The Bad: 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 Bottom Line: 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.

    Review Summary: 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.
