Test result
All-in-One Printer Performance
Testing Print done in two ways, namely by printing black and
white document and color. For normal black-and-white print quality printing,
the HP Officejet Pro 6978 e-All-in-One Printer takes an average of 5 seconds
per page. While Printing color documents with the best print quality takes an
average of 32 seconds per page. Although the color print process is much slower
than black and white, butHP Officejet Pro 6978 e-All-in-One Printer itself is
an AIO printer that is more destined for small to medium business or home;
where the majority will more often use black and white print. So it seems that
the length of time to print the color does not become a significant thing to
affect.
Copy process testing is done by using two types of documents,
namely black and white and color with normal quality. The process of copying
black and white documents takes an average of 7 seconds per page, while Copy of
colored documents takes an average of 10 seconds per page. From the results of
this test, it can be said that the HP Officejet Pro 6978 e-All-in-One Printer
has a fairly good copy speed and qualified.
Scan testing is done by scanning against black and white
documents and color. Scan results (both black and white and colored documents)
in the JPEG or PDF format with ADF feature takes 27 seconds to complete the
scan. While doing Scan process using flatbed feature takes 21 seconds to
process black or white or color scan. Scan test results are calculated a little
slower when compared with the previously described specifications, but the HP
Officejet Pro 6978 e-All-in-One Printer is still considered qualified to
perform the process of scanning either with ADF or flatbed.
Quality Results All-in-One Printer
The print quality generated by the HP Officejet Pro 6978
e-All-in-One Printer is good. For black and white documents or color,
especially if set in high print quality, has a color composition and sharp
text. The ink also does not wear off and dries quickly when the printer
finishes the Print process. It is also an added value of the HP Officejet Pro
6978 e-All-in-One This printer is ink that does not easily fade when exposed to
splashing water.
Quality Copy of black and white documents has no significant
difference with the original document, with the resulting sharpness and not
blur, and the position of the document as straight as the original document.
The unfortunate thing is the quality of the Copy results for color documents,
where the image results are still blur and less sharp, and still look darker
than the original color document.
While for Scan results, the HP Officejet Pro 6978
e-All-in-One Printer has pretty good results for black-and-white documents with
resolutions up to 1200dpi. For color documents, there are still parts that look
less sharp and spotted when finished Scan, but the accuracy of the resulting
