Its name says it all! The HP Officejet Pro 9020 All-in-One Printer is the most sensible model for those looking to buy a printer for their home or office. It functions as a printer, copier, scanner and if you’re still using a fax machine, that, too.
All your printing and copying needs are covered. The OfficeJet Pro 9025 offers loads of quality, speed, and features for high volume work.
Design
What you get after unboxing are the printer itself (one unit of the HP Officejet Pro 9020 All-in-One Printer), a complete set of cartridges (Black, Magento, Cyan, and Yellow), one power cord, and the usual documents, which are the warranty and user guides.
Moving away from the rounded solid design of the HP Officejet Pro 8720, the successor HP Officejet Pro 9025 brilliantly displayed an edged, white and dark gray design. According to HP, the re-engineering of the printer saved more space, which made the 9025 39% smaller than its three-year-old predecessor 8720.
With a width of 396mm and a height of 437mm, the printer required a significant desk space plus some extra clearance for the fold-out paper tray which for the record, has a large paper handling capacity. It weighed heavy at 12kg and needed approximately 60cm of vertical clearance when the scanning lid is opened.
The minimalist approach by the HP designers was skillfully done. The 2.65-inch touch screen panel on the front was bright, responsive, and just perfect in size. It makes navigating through the functions way easier, giving that feeling that you’re using a smart device. On its side are two status lights and on top of them is the power button while the sole USB port is placed at the bottom where external storage devices can be plugged in… a bonus for people who can’t wirelessly connect! Going to the back, there are two RJ11 modem ports, one 10/100MBps Ethernet port and a USB 2.0 connector. There is also a pop-out paper tray to catch printed materials and two input paper trays: one standard A4 (250 sheets) and one multipurpose (250 sheets).
Print quality and speed
When the subject matter is on the print quality and speed, this HP printer comes prepared. Judging by the print-outs, the color reproduction and accuracy are on point for all the documents including the ones that are photocopied. Those that are colored do not smudge even when they get in contact with water (thanks to the HP original pigment-based inks).
The printer works best when printing office documents. A five-page document created using Microsoft Word was successfully completed in less than 30 seconds with the first paper out in the first five seconds. Each page was flooded with words. Now that’s impressive!
Scan speed and quality
According to HP, the Officejet Pro 9250 can scan up to 24ppm (black) and 20ppm (color) with a resolution of up to 1200dpi. It is equipped with duplex auto-document feeder capabilities and can accommodate up to 35 sheets.
The scanning quality is set to satisfactory and you can save the documents in PDF, JPEG or TIFF formats. From its multifunctional characteristic, you can either scan to email, folder, SharePoint or flash drive. You can also send them to Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and more.
Notable features
The HP OfficeJet Pro 9020 is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor and is backed by a 512 memory. Although there are already a number of wireless printers available in the market, the 9020 stands out because of the HP Smart App that makes connecting to the printer simpler and more seamless. Via wireless connectivity, you can effortlessly download documents to your device and print it out with a single touch on the app. You can set the printer in common areas where it can be accessed freely.
The verdict
In conclusion, for the price of P12,665, the OfficeJet Pro 9020 All-in-One printer is the best buy! You can print, copy, scan and fax—everything you need and want from a printer. It also features wireless connectivity and support through a smart app. It is powerfully multi-functional and remarkably fast (proven ready for a heavy task load).
