Overview

The HP Officejet 6812 is a color inkjet printer designed primarily for office environments, released in the early 2000s. It supports print resolutions up to 1200 x 600 dpi, delivering sharp text and moderate quality photo printing. Connectivity options include USB 1.1 for direct PC connection, enabling basic integration into office setups. The printer is compatible with Windows and Mac operating systems prevalent during its release period. It supports multiple paper sizes, including Letter, Legal, and envelopes, with a paper input capacity of approximately 100 sheets. The device uses HP's proprietary ink cartridges, featuring individual color cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) for efficient ink use and replacement.

Its print speed averages about 3 pages per minute (ppm) in color mode and approximately 7 ppm in black-and-white mode, suitable for low to moderate office printing needs. The Officejet 6812 uses thermal inkjet technology with a resolution enhancement technology that improves output quality. The device lacks modern wireless connectivity options, focusing on simple wired connections.

Key Advantages

The HP Officejet 6812 offers affordable printing options for small office environments, minimizing initial investment costs. Its individual ink cartridges ensure cost-effective replacement, reducing waste compared to tri-color cartridges. The printer delivers reasonably good color output for text documents and basic photos at its price point. Its compact design requires limited desk space, making it suitable for tight office settings. The print quality is enhanced by HP’s resolution enhancement technologies, ensuring legible and vibrant prints. Compatibility with both Windows and Mac OS platforms provides flexibility for mixed-computer environments.

Limitations

The Officejet 6812 lacks advanced connectivity options such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet, restricting usability in modern networked offices. Its print speed is relatively slow compared to more recent printer models, potentially impeding high-volume printing tasks. The maximum paper capacity of around 100 sheets is limited, requiring frequent refills during large print jobs. It does not support duplex (double-sided) printing, which increases paper usage over time. The absence of a scanner or multifunction capabilities limits its use to printing only. Replacement ink cartridges may be harder to find due to the model’s age and discontinuation.
