HP Photosmart C6380 All-in-One
The C6380 is a versatile, relatively inexpensive all-in-one option for a home or small office.
Excellent photo prints and black and white documents make the investment worth it, but do consider the ongoing cost of consumables in the overall package as an all-in-one, the C6380 has print, scan and copy functionalities (but no fax).
Extra connectivity is provided through wireless (802.11b/g), Ethernet, and an optional Bluetooth adapter (not provided).
One of the big drawcards of the C6380 is its ability to print borderless photos up to A4 size. It has five separate coloured ink tanks, which are all independently replaceable, using HP's own Vivera ink.
At the front of the unit are the standard PictBridge connectors for all common memory card formats, and a USB port. We were disappointed not to see a document feeder provided with the C6380, though considering this is not generally a unit designed primarily for office usage, this is only a minor downside.
