What do you expect from an office printer? You may answer auto-duplexing functionality, while some others may prefer generous paper capacity. How about combining both of them? HP OfficeJet Pro 8025 is specially engineered to meet the needs of small to medium offices, thus it is armed with features and specs to improve your work efficiency and productivity.
The OfficeJet Pro 8025 is a multifunction printer you can always rely on. It can help handle business documents and professional printing, so you can focus on expanding the business. This machine boasts myriad connections that give an engaging printing experience. Keep scrolling through the following review and prepare some space in your workstation to welcome this printer.
Edgy Design, Robust Build
HP definitely knows how to impress its users through printer appearance. HP OfficeJet Pro 8025 comes with a stylish and edgy design that evokes a professional look. The monochromatic concept makes it easy to blend with other interior elements. If you are concerned about interior design, this is a great addition to making a statement in your office.
This multifunction printer measures 9.21 inches high by 18.11 inches wide by 13.43 inches depth, which means it consumes relatively little space on your desktop. But this machine is heavier than I thought as it weighs 18.04 pounds. I recommend you to prepare a fixed location so you don’t need to move it again and again.
HP constructed this machine with robust build, making it look more expensive than its actual price. On the top, it has an auto document feeder that gives additional height. It also features a 2.7-inch touchscreen display that supports voice-activated printing. Through this control panel, you can control setup and printer operation.
Unlike most HP’s inkjet printers with an input tray that extends at the back of the device, the OfficeJet Pro 8025 comes with a unique input tray. It extends forward at the bottom of the printer, just below the output tray. This tray design supports a higher paper capacity to increase productivity.
AIO Functionality and Further Specs
The Pro 8025 is specially manufactured to meet the needs of office printing. For this reason, it offers a high monthly duty cycle with capable print, copy, scan, and fax functionalities. The following specs will reveal more about this printer, so you need to check this out.
1. Printing, copying, and scanning specs
This printer is engineered with HP thermal inkjet technology, as with other inkjet printers launched by this manufacturer. It supports up to 4800 x 1200 print resolution which offers nice details, especially when you use the right media type. It offers photo printing capability as well as borderless photos. I recommend HP Advanced photo paper for optimized photo results.
This office printer comes with a generous monthly duty cycle. HP rates this printer at 20,000 pages, which is more than adequate for small businesses and just perfect for medium to large businesses. Its monthly volume is relatively low for an office working at 800 pages.
The Pro 8025 can also serve as a capable copier for your office. It supports color copy with a typical resolution up to 600 dpi. This machine enables you to reduce or enlarge documents that range from 25 to 400%. To improve your productivity, HP rates its maximum copy at 99 copies.
When it comes to scan functionality, this printer features CIS scan technology with 1200 x 1200 scan resolution. The scanner bed supports a variety of paper sizes, ranging from 5 x 5 inches up to 8.5 x 11.7 inches.
2. Media and document handling
The fact that the Pro 8025 is equipped with an ample input tray makes me excited. HP armed this machine with a 225-sheet input tray that extends below the output tray. This tray position, however, makes new users spend more time to find where they should load the paper. But it won’t happen if you read the user guide before using it. This printer also features an output tray with a 60-sheet capacity.
I appreciate that HP embedded an automatic document feeder to this device. With 35-sheet capacity, it lets you print 2-sided pages as well as copy and scan. You don’t have to flip the pages manually, which means work efficiency and productivity can be increased.
There’s a variety of media sizes and types to print your documents. This multifunction printer supports minimum media size at 3 x 5 inches up to legal. You can use HP photo papers, plain paper, matte paper, glossy paper, and other media types for creative projects.
3. Speed and performance
A good office printer shouldn’t make you wait. And if you don’t like waiting, the Pro 8025 is surely engineered to be your best partner. This inkjet printer is rated at 29 pages per minute for the mono draft and 25 pages per minute for the color draft. If you want to print ISO documents, this printer manages to deliver up to 20 ppm for black and 10 ppm for color. I know this is not the fastest printer but I really appreciate its performance.
The copy speed is also satisfying. The Pro 8025 is rated at 29 CPM for the draft documents on A4 and letter paper. The scan performance, however, delivers average speed at 8 ppm for mono and 3.5 ppm for a color document. You can also enjoy fax transmission speed up to 4 seconds per page.
Above Average Print Quality
The HP Pro 8025 that is supported by thermal inkjet technology gave me excellent output quality. I noticed well-shaped characters even to the smallest fonts without weird spacing. The texts were legible, which is an important key for professional documents. When I tried with graphics and charts, banding and streaking were hardly visible in gradient and black fills.
How about photo printing? I enjoy the borderless photo capability that lets me print photo family effortlessly. It delivered amazing details with bright and accurate color, as with typical inkjet printers engineered by HP. If your office needs to print brochures or flyers in low quantity, this printer offers dependable output quality.
4-Ink Cartridges
HP OfficeJet Pro 8025 features four separated ink cartridges, which somewhat reminds me of HP’s Smart Tank Plus which uses a separated ink reservoir with a bigger volume for more yields. It uses HP 910 cartridges for black and color with different yields. Black consumables can print up to 300 pages and color consumables yield as many as 315 pages.
To save your budget, HP offers genuine high yield cartridge replacement. The 910XL ink cartridge yields up to 825 pages both for black and color inks. If your printing volume is high, choosing high yield cartridges can cut the print cost.
Assuming that you use high yield ink cartridges, you spend around 0.4 cents per black and color page. This value is cheaper than using standard yield that costs around 0.6 cents per color page and 0.7 cents per black page. This cost may vary depending on the cartridge replacement price in your area.
Connectivity and Software
The standard connectivity of the Pro 8025 includes Ethernet, USB, Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi Direct. It also supports mobile printing capability that includes Apple AirPrint and Mopria. In addition, you can enjoy the HP Smart app that lets you print and scan remotely from a smartphone or tablet.
What makes it better? It’s surely the voice-activated printing feature. As with other today’s printers, the Pro 8025 allows you to activate the operation using voice assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa and Google Assistant.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8025 Pros vs Cons
So far, this printer seems an ideal choice for office working. It offers plentiful convenience to handle documents, be it printing, copying, scanning or faxing. This machine also supports the generous paper capacity to improve your productivity. Do you think the OfficeJet Pro 8025 is perfect? I don’t think so. Take the following pros and cons into account.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8025 Pros
- Impressive design
This office printer boasts a stylish and edgy design to level up your office interior. The monochromatic style allows it to blend well with other elements in any given space. Though the ADF makes it a little bulkier, its overall design is impressive.
- Auto-duplexing
Oftentimes, you need to print business documents with 2-sided pages. This task is quite challenging for a non-duplexing printer. But when you use OfficeJet Pro 8025, this task gets far easier. Thanks to an auto document feeder that lets you print 2-sided pages without flipping the pages manually. If you need to improve work efficiency, this machine is surely for you.
- Voice assistant support
Though voice assistant support is commonly found in today’s printers, this feature adds attractiveness to this printer. You can easily activate the operation without touching the device. This helpful feature allows you to focus on other tasks as the OfficeJet Pro 8025 is reliable to handle your documents.
- Reliable print quality
Print quality is a priority. No matter how advanced a printer is, it becomes less attractive without the capability of delivering high output quality. Thankfully, the OfficeJet Pro 8025 can meet your need for high-quality printing for business documents. It works well to give you legible text and amazing graphics as well as vibrant photos to help expand the business.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8025 Cons
- Heavyweight
This printer is heavier than I thought. Weighing around 18.04 pounds, it requires more effort to transport. But it won’t cause a lot of problems if you prepare the right location that is easy to access by everyone. Therefore, you don’t need to move it here and there.
- Low monthly volume
Being an office printer, HP rates the recommended monthly volume at 800 pages. This quantity is relatively low, especially for medium businesses that need to print a lot of documents. The gap between monthly duty cycle and monthly volume is too far so you have to take this into consideration.
Bottom Line
The HP OfficeJet Pro 8025 multifunction inkjet printer is engineered to support your work efficiency. It boasts a lot of features to improve productivity, such as auto-duplexing and generous paper capacity. Its average print speed is also acceptable. And yet, you should take small details into account. Things like a heavy load and low monthly volume can make this printer less attractive.
All in all, you have to make a decision eventually. If you are looking for a versatile printer to help handle your business document, the OfficeJet Pro 8025 is a great choice in one condition that heavyweight and low monthly volume don’t bother you. Or you can find another printer like HP Smart Tank Plus 551 which has monthly duty cycle up to 1,000 pages
