HP Officejet 3834 Printer Review

Our expert review of the HP Officejet 3834: ***Stars

Our expert analysis & summary:

The HP Officejet 3834 is primarily a desktop inkjet printer. It uses drop on demand thermal inkjet technology. It’s a printer, scanner copier & fax machine all-in-one. Excellent connectivity options with WiFi Direct, Hi Speed USB 2.0, HP smart app e-printing is also available.

Our thoughts on Design

The HP Office jet 3834 is big. And black. Not much aesthetic design flair here. We also think it has quite a large footprint that may limit it from being a true desktop printer. Height 270mm x Width 254mm x Depth 579mm.  It’s also heavy at a whopping 5.76kg.

Main Printer Advantages

What else could you ask for form the HP Officejet 3834? It prints scans & can act as a photocopier as well. We don’t think there’s much this excellent HP printer can’t do.

Main Printer Disadvantages

The bulky & big HP office jet 3834 is painfully slow, considering the bulk, price & specification of the printer. With a paltry 8.5 pages per minute for a black printout, and 6 pages per minute for a colour. We’d expect better from an industry stalwart like HP. Fast printing is a must and this printer lacks in that department.

Running costs - Are the inks good value for money?

HP Branded OEM Deskjet 3834 printer cartridges are expensive. Save money by buying high yield if you can stretch to the £20 or so, for an IJT Direct ink cartridge. They’ll last a lot longer than the low / standard yield cartridges. Inkjets & toners from IJT offer a full 12 month warranty & excellent customer support.
