HP's latest e All-in-One group of printers feature a crafty ePrint process, and this lets you send emails straight to the actual printer itself, after which it can immediately create prints coming from any attachments that you've included.
Occupying the center ground, the Photosmart Plus unit provides a touch-screen colour Liquid crystal display that is absent from the more basic Wireless e-All-in-One printer, however doesn't extend to automatic duplex double-sided printing, as included in the more up-market Premium e-All-in-One version. On the face of it, the Photosmart Plus e All-in-One model looks like a regular Wi-Fi multifunction unit, incorporating a 9600dpi four-ink printing system together with a 1200dpi scanner as well as memory card slots intended for SD cards, MMC in addition to Memory Stick Duo. The four ink cartridges remain separately replaceable plus running costs are pretty low, leastwise if you purchase the high-yield 'XL' cartridges (standard yield cartridges are provided along with the printer). There is however much more to the new model of the Photosmart Plus than you would think. Operated by way of a cool, though generously proportioned, 8.9cm colour touch screen Liquid crystal display, the printer really gets into stride using web-enabled printing.
Following a speedy and painless set-up routine, the unit can easily gain access to the web direct, allowing you to download applications as well as shortcuts for printing almost anything. Things including direct photo printing, photocopying and also scanning right to memory cards may also be dealt with simply and effectively by way of the touch screen.
As an element of HP's completely new ePrint application, it is possible to set up the unit with its very own distinctive email address as part of the Web Services set-up. Because of this it is possible to email the printer from any place worldwide and it will quickly print what you may include as e-mail attachments. During our testing, functions turned out to be faultless using Word files as well as spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations and PDFs. Better yet, e mail an image attachment and the printer automatically invokes the mechanised photo input tray, that will take popular paper sizes anywhere up to 7 x 5-inches. Luckily, 'allowed senders' lists are simple to set up, to enable you to specify who may and cannot create prints using the unit by means of e-mail.
Photo quality isn't the best, because the four HP Photosmart Plus E ink strategy is a little bit lacking in colour space and therefore prints do not have vibrancy together with contrast compared with five-ink printers. However, pictures still appear pleasing and in addition skin tones particularly are quite flattering. Individual page print speeds clocked in at eight seconds for mono text, 17 seconds for combined text and colour graphics DTP, one minute for a 6 x 4-inch picture in standard photo quality mode and only just in excess of four minutes in an A4 picture at the very top quality setting, which are pretty good.
As a regular home printer, the Photosmart Plus eAll-in-One is really a joy to make use of with its Wi-Fi compatibility and groovy colour touch screen LCD. Standalone printing, photocopying, as well as scanning straight to a memory card are pretty much all especially pain-free. However it is the range of smart web-based resources that is the principal appeal. Extending the range as well as convenience of standard Wi-Fi printing, the Photosmart Plus e All-in-One allows you to print virtually everything from almost anyplace, by simply emailing the unit with your selection of attachments. For anyone who's ever wanted an easy method of printing stuff out without in fact being there, it's really a fantastic choice.
