Editorial note

The HP Officejet J3680 printer stands out for its all-in-one versatility, offering printing, scanning, copying, and faxing features, making it an ideal choice for home offices or small businesses. Its built-in LCD screen and various scanning options, such as direct email sending and optical character recognition (OCR), make it easy to use on a daily basis. In terms of print quality, it achieves a maximum resolution of 4800 x 1200 DPI, ensuring sharp and precise prints. However, there are some drawbacks to note. The color printing speed, which reaches only 2.9 pages per minute in normal quality, can reduce productivity when printing color documents. Additionally, the lack of automatic duplex printing results in higher paper consumption and manual management of double-sided prints. Limited compatibility with recent operating systems, particularly for Mac users, may also pose integration issues. In terms of performance, the printer scores 70, while its varied features, including the 20-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF), give it a score of 80. Although this latter addition is valuable, its capacity may be insufficient for users with high scanning or copying volumes. The design of the device is considered practical, but its weight of about 3.9 kg can complicate transport and repositioning in a cluttered workspace. Finally, the value for money of the HP Officejet J3680 is deemed acceptable, with a score of 78. While the printer offers many features, the mentioned limitations may pose challenges for some users. Overall, the HP Officejet J3680 is a solid choice for those seeking an efficient multifunction printer, despite some compromises.
