Choosing an HP all-in-one |
 |
|
|
| HP all-in-ones (AIOs) combine essential pieces of equipment—such
as a printer, scanner, copier, and, on some models, a fax—without
sacrificing image quality. AIOs offer you more for less. They cost
less, take up less space, and use less energy than individual units.
And with their photo-friendly features—like image-editing software,
automatic photo feeders, and memory slots for printing without a PC—you’ll
never run out of creative project ideas.
Photo features
Many HP all-in-ones offer extra features
for digital camera users. Here are two of the most useful:
- Preview photos before you print. The HP photo
proof sheet feature lets you select photos to print—without
using your computer. Printing is simple: Insert your memory card
into a card slot on the front, or connect your camera via a front-panel
USB port. The all-in-one takes care of the rest.
- Get creative with software. HP all-in-ones come
equipped with helpful software. Use HP Image Zone to edit images,
make album pages, and more. E-mail pictures without large attachments
with HP Instant Share, a feature of HP Image Zone. The creative
possibilities are endless.
Many HP AIOs offer additional photo features:
- Print and copy photos with or without borders.
- With HP inkjet technology, print photos that resist fading
for generations—twice as long as most traditionally
processed photos.
- Print frame-by-frame sequences of digital video
clips without your PC.
- Produce photos with sharper colours and smoother transitions.
- Easily edit images on the colour LCD.
Printing and copying
There’s a multitude
of creative options when you use your HP all-in-one for printing and
copying photos. You get quick, professional results every time:
- Print and copy in colour on several paper types. If
you’re a photo enthusiast, you’ll enjoy printing on
photo paper, card stock, iron-on T-shirt transfers, and other media.
- Print quickly. HP all-in-ones offer impressive
printing speeds. Some print colour at up to 20 pages per minute (ppm)
and black-and-white at up to 30 ppm—ideal for home printing
needs. Copy speeds may vary slightly.
- Print high-resolution photos. The high-resolution
capabilities of HP all-in-ones guarantee sharp photographs and documents,
regardless of their size.
- Print lab-quality photos. With genuine HP supplies,
you’ll print and share memories that last. Get the longest-lasting,
true-to-life colour photos with the look and feel of traditional
photographs using HP Vivera inks and HP Premium Plus photo paper
(With photo value packs, you can create prints for as low as 24¢ each!)
- Reduce, enlarge, or make fit-to-page prints. It’s
easy to get the size you want—just adjust the image directly
on the AIO.
Many HP all-in-ones have HP Media Sense technology, which automatically
detects and selects the right paper size for your print. Some also
use HP PhotoREt technology, which produces accurate colour.
Scanning
Scanning and archiving photos is a great
way to preserve your memories for years to come. Many AIOs come with
special scanning features for digitizing your photos:
- Automatic photo feeders make it easy to scan
a stack of pictures.
- HP PrecisionScan software will scan a photo
and send it to your fax program.
- You’ll capture more accurate colour and smoother
transitions with high-resolution scanning.
- Fine-tuning scans is easy with settings such
as output type, resolution, sharpening, exposure, and colour.
Faxing
With the built-in fax capability available
on some all-in-ones, you don’t need a separate machine. Some
models even send and receive faxes in colour.
HP’s AIO selection
There’s an array
of all-in-one choices, so you’re sure
to find one that meets your needs. Here’s a selection of featured
HP all-in-ones:
A great basic all-in-one is the HP
Photosmart 2570, which p rints, copies, and scans. The bright
1.8" colour display lets you view and edit photos before
you print. Print photos up to panorama (wide view) size in black-and-white
(23 ppm) or colour (18 ppm). These print speeds are good if you
print less frequently.
The HP
Photosmart 3210 all-in-one is loaded with special features
for photographers, including a 2.5" colour display to view
the photo proof sheet and select what you want to print, including
stills from video. Multiple computers can share the AIO when it’s
integrated into a wired or wireless (with a Bluetooth adapter)
network.
In addition to scanning and faxing, the HP
Photosmart 3310 all-in-one prints and copies at breakthrough
speeds, at up to 31 pages per minute in colour and 32 in black.
And you can get photos in as little time as 14 seconds.
This AIO is also an excellent choice for those with a wireless home
network. By adding a Bluetooth adapter, you can print photos directly
from any Bluetooth-enabled device: camera phone, handheld, or other
PC. Experienced photographers will love viewing and editing pictures
or stills from video on the large 3.6" colour display.
