The photocentric features make the 8500 Wireless particularly appropriate for businesses like real estate offices, which need to print photos. You can also scan, fax, or e-mail both simplex and duplex documents.ĭespite the emphasis on office needs, the printer offers some photocentric features as well, including the ability to print directly from PictBridge cameras and memory cards, as well as preview photos before printing on the 3.4-inch LCD. Even better, both the printer and ADF can turn a page over to print on or scan both sides, so you can copy both simplex (one-sided) and duplex (two-sided) originals to your choice of simplex or duplex format. The 8500 Wireless can print, scan, and fax, even over a network, and it works as a standalone copier, fax machine, and e-mail sender, complete with a 50-page automatic document feeder (ADF). So don't assume that any other comments in this review are true for the base model. There are some important differences with this model, however, ranging from the size of the scanner flatbed (letter-size rather than legal-size) to the controls on the front panel (which do not include the Wireless model's touch screen or its incredibly well-designed menus). According to HP, it's built around the same printer engine as the other two models, so my comments about speed and output quality in this review should apply to it as well.

The third model is the HP Officejet Pro 8500 All-in-One ($299.99 direct). You can also add the tray to the Wireless model as an option ($79.99 direct), but when you tally the cost of the extra set of ink cartridges ($19.99 direct each), you discover that buying the Premier model can save you a few dollars. The Wireless model, which I reviewed, and the HP Officejet Pro 8500 Premier All-in-One ($499.99 direct) are identical, according to HP, except that the Premier model comes with an extra set of standard cyan, yellow, and magenta (but not black) ink cartridges, 50 sheets of glossy brochure paper, and a second paper tray to boost input capacity from 250 sheets-which should be enough for most small offices-to a hefty 500 sheets. Small enough to serve as a personal printer in any size office (although large enough to serve more comfortably near your desk than on it), it offers more than enough capability for a shared AIO in a small office as well. In fact, its combination of speed and office-centric features makes it less a competitor to other inkjets than to inexpensive color laser AIOs.
