This MFP also failed to scan at 1,200dpi unless we completed a preview first and, as usual, scans at 600dpi and above appeared to have been digitally sharpened, with no opt-out. Save space, time, and resources with the wireless-capable OfficeJet Pro 8720 All-in-One Inkjet Printer from HP, which packs printing, scanning, copying, and faxing features into a single unit. We're not fans of HP's over-simplified TWAIN scan interface, in which 150dpi scans aren't usually available. Scan performance was a bit less impressive: while a 300 dots-per-inch (dpi) A4 scan took just nine seconds, there was a 46-second wait for a 600dpi photo scan. The same job in colour needed 90 seconds, which is still quite quick.
Photocopy quality was also very high, with single copies taking about 14 seconds, and a 10-page mono copy just 65 seconds.
Fortunately, this speed doesn't come at the cost of quality: black text was crisp and dark, and graphics were strong and free of obvious grain or streaking - although we did spot a small amount of bleed through on our 80gsm test paper. Scan documents and photographs on the integrated flatbed scanner, and finish fast with the ability to print up to 34 ppm. Create brilliant documents with the HP Officejet Pro 8720 all-in-one printer.
Get the color graphics and black text you need to keep your business humming. Colour prints were impressively fast, too: its 8.6ppm on our graphics-heavy test is well above average. HP OfficeJet Pro 8720 All-in-One Printer can print professional-quality colorfor less. It's a particularly fast printer, delivering our black text test at 21.4 pages per minute (ppm), and at draft quality reaching 25.4ppm - faster than HP's claimed speed. item 1 HP OfficeJet Pro Printhead J3M72-80004 8720 8715 8730 8740 8710 8715 1 -HP OfficeJet Pro Printhead J3M72-80004 8720 8715 8730 8740 8710 8715. These relatively minor grumbles aside, there's a lot to like about the OfficeJet Pro 8720. A little more detail on how the passport photo feature on the HP OfficeJet Pro 8720 works: You need to copy the photo(s) you plan to use to a USB memory stick that is then inserted into the slot on the 8720, and, of course, load photo paper into the tray.
