Why I like it:
Of the printers I've tested so far, the OfficeJet Pro is the most versatile. It allows work-from-home business people to scan, copy and print with ease, while offering up decent image quality for the occasional printed image. It also comes with three months of free ink, based on a standard use if you sign up for HP Plus. While HP Plus gives you extra helpful app choices free and the ink, the downside is you can only use HP inks while subscribed to it.
The last model had some issues with graphics and imagery, but this new upgrade is much better. The graphics in my brochure testing were sharp and accurate and the images were a little dotty but still looked good from the inkjet printer. The text was excellent, with clearly defined edges, even the Comic Sans parts. It's a bit larger than some of the printers I tested but the deep paper tray and auto-feed for the scanner make the size worthwhile.
Who is it best for?
If you work from home but need all the advantages of an office printer, the OfficeJet Pro is an excellent choice. In terms of sheer printing speed, the HP is ahead of most inkjets in its price range. It printed the 10 pages in just 32 seconds and scanned and printed them in 58 seconds. Not as fast as laser printers maybe, but still impressive.
Who should avoid this?
If you're a hard-core image connoisseur looking to print dozens of high-resolution images, there are better machines for you. The OfficeJet Pro 9125e is so good because it's a generalist for the average person working from home or a small family. If you are printing hundreds of pages this won't be right for you either. You'll need a laserjet for that.
