Business inkjet printers
HP today unveiled the Color Inkjet Printers, two performance printers that feature wired Ethernet printing for sharing with multiple computers and "breakthrough" print speeds. Additionally, the HP Deskjet 6980 Printer offers wireless printing and built-in Wi-Fi wireless 802.11g/b for fast and easy networking. Both printers include SecureEasySetup, which allows users to easily connect to select wireless networks in less then ten minutes, according to the company. The printers feature speeds of up to 36 pages per minute (ppm) in black and 27 ppm in color, 4,800 dpi resolution, standard/custom photo size printing (up to 8.5 x 24-inch panorama prints), a front-mounted USB port for camera-direct prints, optional six-ink printing, and high-volume inkjet print cartridges. An optional 250-sheet paper tray and an optional automatic two-sided printing accessory are also available. HP said both the Deskjet 6980 and Deskjet 6940 will be available later this month for $150 and $130, respectively, and are compatible with Mac OS X 10.2 or later. [updated]
