Overview

The HP Photosmart C6280 is an all-in-one inkjet designed for users who want lab-quality photo printing alongside everyday document output. Its six individual ink cartridges — rather than a single tri-color cartridge — deliver a broader color range with smoother tonal transitions, which is especially visible in photographic prints. The printer is rated at up to 34 pages per minute in black and 33 pages per minute in color, and automatic duplex printing is built in, making double-sided documents effortless.

On the scanning side, the C6280 offers up to 4800 dpi optical resolution, capturing sharp detail from both photos and documents. A 2.4-inch color display on the front panel lets you preview images stored on compatible memory cards and print them without turning on a computer, while the red-eye removal button provides a quick one-touch fix for portrait photos. Network connectivity is handled via Ethernet, allowing multiple users on the same network to share the printer. At 17.6 x 7.4 x 17.4 inches, the C6280 is compact enough for a home office desk while consolidating printing, copying, and scanning into a single device.
