Hewlett Packard K60 OfficeJet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The K60 is a great machine in many ways but, and this is a big BUT... HP purposely left out a very important feature that the machine is entirely capable of. Black and White copying! That's right... if you put in ANYTHING with color on it and press copy, you will get a much more expensive and slower color copy. This works out great for HP because it uses lot's more of their expensive color ink, but not for the user. Try copying a sheet of yellow note paper with a few handwritten notes and prepare for a rather slow copy that uses a lot of the yellow ink in your color cartridge!
This is completely inexcusable considering the less expensive T45 does both color and B&W copies. It has a B&W copy button and a color copy button. You wouldn't think that moving up to one of HP's more expensive multifunction models would mean the loss of an important feature would you?
If you're going to be doing a lot of copying, think twice about this machine. Of course, the K80 has the same B&W Copy button that the T45 does, but do you really want to spend another $100 for a feature that any reasonable person would assume should already be in the K60? In case you're wondering, there is no menu option to enable B&W copying in the K60, it just isn't there. I have verified this with HP's tech support who find this missing feature equally baffling.
For this reason, I can't give it more than a three. I'd give it a 2.5 if I could.

The Hewlett-Packard K60 OfficeJet is an all-in-one high-quality printer, fax, scanner, and copier that's ideal for the home or office. Compact and efficient, this unit is Internet ready and easy to use. All functions are designed to work together, which saves you space, time, and money. You can even operate functions simultaneously.
The K60's printer delivers terrific photorealistic images. That's due to Hewlett-Packard's PhotoREt III technology and to a color resolution of 2,400 x 1,200 dpi and a black resolution of 600 x 600 dpi. Thus you're assured rich, vibrant colors and crisp text. The printer accepts a wide range of papers and sizes. It prints black text at up to 9 ppm and color at 7 ppm.
The fax works via the front panel. It has its own output bin and an automatic 20-page document feeder. It is compatible with answering machines, has memory send and receive capability, auto redial, send, and PC fax. Transmission rate is 6 seconds per page.
The K60 has an exceptionally high-quality scanner that turns originals into photo-quality reproductions. Subtle contrasts and vibrant colors come in part from the 2,400 dpi resolution. A touch of a button is all you need to place a scan into a selected software application or e-mail. Common editing functions are built in, so separate editing applications for scanned images are not necessary. Also, the K60 offers faster scanning previews that won't keep you waiting.
Excellent color and black-only copies are made at 7 copies per minute in black and 6 copies per minute in color. Like the fax component, the copier has its own output bin and a 20-page automatic document feeder. You can make reductions and enlargements from 50 to 200 percent. The K60 comes backed with a one-year limited warranty.
