HP J3680 Officejet All-in-One Printer (Electronics)


This review is from: HP J3680 Officejet All-in-One Printer (Electronics)


One of these models,purchased on sale for $50, has come in very handy after my previous all-in-one fax machine died.



I've been pleasantly surprised by the high quality of even photograph prints, although the machine has only two ink cartridges, not four. My last all-in-one, the Epson CX9400Fax, had an extremely temperamental set of four cartridges, which ran dry in the blink of an eye and could not be refilled, and frequently were "not recognized" at all. At long last, the machine did not run, even for faxing, and had to be replaced. (Fortunately it was still under warranty.)



This HP, by contrast, also has a much smaller footprint. It has a huge advantage over most all-in-one machines---a hand held head set. This makes it possible to send faxes even through international calling cards, when necessary, rather than paying the exorbitant phone rates generally charged by land line carriers. For those all-in-one machines without hand sets, that option is off the table. It's dial direct, with no intermediaries, or forget faxing.



Moreover, the paper seems to feed reliably (another problem with the Epson).



This is a dandy little machine for the dough. At first I used it as a backup. Now, it will be my regular all-in-one. I have bequeathed the Epson replacement to my partner.
