Key Advantages

The HP OfficeJet Pro 8720 delivers professional-quality prints at a competitive speed benefiting office workflows. It offers a rich set of connectivity options including wireless and mobile device printing to suit various office setups. The automatic two-sided printing feature helps reduce paper consumption, aligning with eco-friendly office policies. Its multifunction capabilities — printing, scanning, copying, and faxing — consolidate multiple devices into one, saving space and cost. The intuitive touchscreen interface simplifies navigation and job management for end-users. Additionally, with robust paper handling capacity and an automatic document feeder, it supports efficient large-volume tasks without frequent intervention.

Limitations

While the OfficeJet Pro 8720 is feature-rich, its ink-based printing technology can result in higher running costs compared to laser printers, especially under heavy volume use. The printer’s initial setup and network configuration might be challenging for non-technical users. Print speed, though good for an inkjet, falls short of many laser printers tailored for very high-volume printing. The touchscreen interface, while functional, can occasionally be unresponsive under heavy operation conditions. The device’s size and weight may not be ideal for very small or space-constrained offices. Firmware and driver updates sometimes cause compatibility issues with newer operating systems prior to official HP patches.
