CNET Editors' review - HP Business Inkjet 2800
Hide

Good

6.8

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 6.8 out of 10
Reviewed by Kristina Blachere
Review date: 5/10/05
Release date: 5/10/05

The good: Delivers good text and graphics print quality; prints documents as large as 13 by 19 inches.

The bad: Expensive; useful extras jack up the price up even further; mediocre-looking photos print oh-so-slowly.

The bottom line: A good option for offices that need medium-format printing, but for high-volume letter-size color documents, a color laser is a better deal.
