The Doc appreciates a good debate, in particular when it’s about a new technology taking over the land of an entrenched technology. In this case, there is an interesting debate rampant among a number of printing blogs as to whether or not inkjet is going to take over the printing world and replace offset technology (which uses plates and ink). Offset printing has been the mainstay of profitable printing for a number of decades, having itself replaced the more labor-intensive style of printing called letterpress.
But now offset faces a danger from two fronts. On the one side, high-speed toner-based printing devices have been taking over the short-run end of the market (usually defined as 5,000 copies or less). And now, thanks to breakthrough in speed, high-end inkjet devices are gaining ground as well.

HP officejet 6000 wireless color inkjet printer is similar to its officejet pro 8000 wireless. For a considerable lower price, officejet 6000 wireless offers good performance and plentiful features along with cheap inks.
Its setup was easy, in spite of large dialog boxes for setting the wireless functionality. On Mac, the preferences/printers dialog box is to be added manually to the printer.
The top lid of the printer is flimsy and the rear mounted automatic duplexer enhances the overall stiff build of the printer. In case of struck, the flip down rear door enables you to peek into the paper path or pull out from the unit. The 250 input tray has a sliding width guide on the left and the lid doubles for 50 sheet output tray. The control panel of the printer has three buttons namely, resume, cancel and wireless. The last toggle wireless on and off, prints out the network settings quickly.
The prices for inks are more reasonable and the standard size (HP 920) cartridges ship with the unit. It replaces the black ink cost $19.95 or 4.8 cents per page. The 300 page cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges cost $9.99 per piece or 3.3 cents per page. The cost for a page with all four colors is 14.7 cents. 1200 page black cartridge cost $31.99 (2.7 cents per page) and each 700-page cyan, magenta, or yellow costs $14.99 (2.1 cents per color per page).
Hp officejet 6000 wireless represents a step down in speed from officejet pro 8000 wireless. But it is nearly identical regarding print quality and features. It is a good inkjet printer deal for small, low to mid volume offices on a budget.
