C6250, C6280 specifications

The HP C6280 and C6250 are versatile all-in-one printers designed to meet the demands of home and small office environments. Both models are part of HP's Photosmart series, which emphasizes high-quality photo printing along with standard document tasks.

The HP C6280 features a sleek design with an intuitive control panel, making it user-friendly for individuals of all skill levels. It integrates printing, scanning, copying, and faxing capabilities, streamlining tasks and saving valuable space. With a maximum print resolution of up to 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi, the C6280 excels in delivering stunning photo quality, making it ideal for photo enthusiasts who want to print their favorite memories.

The C6250, while slightly more compact, shares many of the same features as its sibling. Both models support wireless connectivity, allowing users to print from anywhere in the house, as well as support for mobile printing technologies like Apple AirPrint and HP’s own ePrint service. This ensures that documents and images can be sent directly from smartphones and tablets.
