One of the most unusual All-in-Ones to come down the pipeline recently is without a doubt Hewlett-Packard’s TopShot LaserJet Pro M275 ($399.99), which can produce 3D images of scanned objects. We recently took a hands-on look at this intriguing new capability. What makes this color LaserJet unique is its scanning technology. Instead of a typical contact image sensor (CIS) [...]

Review: HP Officejet Pro 8000 Enterprise Printer
Historically, Hewlett-Packard’s Officejet Pro color ink-jet family has been primarily geared for small and mid-size business use. However, as of today, an intriguing new entry, HP’s Officejet Pro 8000 Enterprise Printer ($199) adds enterprise-level features and management capabilities that promise to take low-cost color ink-jet imaging into the enterprise. Wirth Consulting was just given the [...]

OK, let’s cut to the chase here. To make things easier, let’s assume that you’ve already read our companion piece discussing the significance of HP’s iPrint Photo 3.0 app for devices running the Apple iOS 4.2.1 mobile operating system.

With HP’s ePrint and iPrint, who needs Apple’s AirPrint?
The quick answer is – anybody who does NOT own a network-ready HP printer, MFP or All-in-One that was purchased in the B2B or retail channel. Ho-hum . . . However, please stay with me here, since the numbers we are about to present are significant either way. Considering that HP has the leading market [...]
Deflated by AirPrint
I pre-ordered an Apple iPad and have been a happy camper ever since. I knew going in about the lack of printing and Flash support, but purchased one anyway. In fact, I never even thought about printing from the iPad until Apple started pumping us up about iOS 4.2 and AirPrint. Since then, I have [...]

Wirth Consulting has just completed a Hands-On Test Report on what we feel is a really important digital imaging device, the $599 Epson B-510DN Business Color Ink Jet Printer. It hasn’t gotten a lot of marketing support (when was the last time you saw an Epson commercial?), but it is a ground-breaking product. What’s that [...]
Why Web-Connected Printers? Wirth Consulting Looks Back At Two That We’ve Tested
Hewlett-Packard’s latest announcement of new Photosmart e-All-in-Ones with e-mail printing and Web apps has renewed interest in Web-connected printers, with many people asking, what is the use or value in Web connectivity or Web applications?

A Closer Look At Remanufactured Ink Cartridges—A Bargain Or Not?
Call it what you will—remanufacturing or refilling—the practice of third-parties refilling and reselling ink and toner cartridges has always roused the ire of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs)–as well as their legal staffs–and for good reason, of course, as these supplies represent important recurring revenue streams for OEMs. In February 2010, computer-maker Dell decided to get [...]
Does HP’s Smart Install Live Up to its Name?
On Monday, April 26th, we received a surprise from UPS—the delivery of an early production version of the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet Pro M1212nf MFP. In case you’ve been living in a cave with no Wi-Fi Internet access, this little gem retails for $199.99 and was just introduced earlier this month. It’s HP’s latest and least expensive [...]

by Terry Wirth on December 10, 2010 in Apple, News, Opinions, Reviews
We recently evaluated Apple’s AirPrint Printing Solution for Apple iOS 4.2 Mobile Devices. Alas, we did not have access to an AirPrint compatible printer at the time. You can read more about it here.
