This review is from: HP 2280 Business Inkjet Printer (Office Product)

I am in medical school and do A LOT of printing at home. I am can't really address how this printer works in an office environment, but it is great at home! I had a Epson photo inkjet before buying the HP. The Epson was a good printer, but I was going through ink cartridges like crazy!

The HP Business inkjet 2280 has worked out great for me. The ink cartridges are expensive, but last a VERY long time (4 cartridges, Black, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow ...). In fact, they last long enough, that I can buy the cartridges over a pretty extended period of time as I can afford them!

The printer is very fast and high quality. I was having trouble getting my previour printer adjusted correctly for printing photographs. I plugged in the HP and printed one out without any adjusting anything, just to see how it looked. It came out great!

Another good feature is that it has a pretty large capacity for paper.

The only drawback is that this printer is relatively loud. It isn't really that big of a deal, but I was not expecting it, and was very suprised. You might want to go to a store and print out a sample for yourself to see how much noise it makes. Like I said, it really hasn't been a problem, but it was unexpected.

One more thing about the ink. With some of my other previous printers, I have resorted to buying "off brand" ink from internet supplies. As far as I can tell, that is not an option with this printer.

Overall, I am VERY happy with this printer!
