I chose the 8600 for my own office over a comparable HP LaserJet M1212nf multifunction printer because it's as fast as a laser, it has a lower published CPP for black and white printing, it lets me print an occasional color job, and it offers more features for the money (the LaserJet has a smaller paper tray and does not offer duplexing or wireless networking). The Officejet Pro 8600 is a business-class inkjet printer, which as a group tend to have lower ink costs than do consumer-class models.
But for most users in a shared office setting, the real cost of using a color inkjet MFP is likely to be significantly higher.
Theoretically, you should be able to operate the 8600 for even less than 1.6 cents per page in draft mode. The Officejet also offers a higher mean time between failure rating and more features. The 8600 even beats HP's own entry-level laser multifunction printer (MFP), the LaserJet M1212nf, with its estimated cost per page (CPP) of 4.1 cents. With a rated cost per page of just 1.6 cents for black and white, the Officejet 8600 beats the rap that inkjet printers are cheaply made, offer inferior print quality and are too expensive to run for office use. On paper, Hewlett Packard’s Officejet Pro 8600 e Plus All-in-One printer looks like it might just be the least expensive printer to operate in a small office.
