Two new machines are said to “make printing easier” and “cut operating costs”.
The two new machines, the OfficeJet Pro 6830 e-AIO and the 6230 ePrinter, are said by the OEM to “make printing easier and help cut operating costs for small and medium-sized businesses”. The printers produce “laser-like” prints for “up to 50 percent less cost-per-page than competitive colour laser printers”.
The devices offer faster print speeds and higher duty cycles, which HP states help businesses “reduce operating costs while maintaining a high quality of printing”, with automatic duplexing, ENERGY STAR accreditation and mobile connectivity allowing for energy-efficient printing as well as mobile printing from a range of smartphones and tablets through HP’s own mobile printing services as well as iOS and Android products.
Other features of the devices include a “gesture-enabled” colour touchscreen featuring a “revamped” interface, and the 6830 is eligible for use with HP’s Instant Ink service, which it defines as an “ink replacement service saving customers up to 70 percent on original HP ink”, with the service already available in both the USA and the UK.
Mark Quiroz, Vice President of Current Business Management, Inkjet and Printing Solutions at HP, commented: “HP is committed to providing cost-friendly and effective printing solutions for small and medium sized businesses. With the addition of the HP Officejet Pro 6830 and HP Officejet 6230 to the SMB inkjet portfolio, we are providing a wider range of affordable and hassle-free mobile printing options to improve daily workflow.”
The Officejet Pro 6830 will be available in the UK from October for £129.99 ($212.60/€163.96), whilst the 6230 will be available in November for £69.99 ($114.47/€88.28).
