I’ve replaced the printheads two or three times over the past 10+ years and the printer has worked like new. If routine printer maintenance does not resolve the issue, replace the printheads. When the printheads wear out, you’ll start to see print quality degrade. There are two printheads required for the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless – one for Black & Yellow and one for Cyan & Magenta.
What has helped with longevity is the fact that the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 series uses replaceable printheads. When it broke down, I bought another HP and I’ve been extremely impressed with the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless which I’ve now had for over ten years and it’s still going strong. My first HP printer, a multifunction HP OfficeJet, had terrific print quality, offered solid performance and longevity, didn’t require constant printhead cleaning and maintenance and it was affordable.
Since making the switch, I’ve only had to replace a HP printer once due to mechanical failure. Just to note, I’ve had plenty of experience with HP LaserJet and HP Color LaserJet printers and they do perform very well and can last a long time when properly maintained however, my previous experience with HP inkjets weren’t as positive. I was hesitant at first given prior experience with some HP inkjet printers but after doing the research and seeing the HP printers in-store, I made the leap and I’m glad I did. After looking at various options, I decided to go with HP. It became too costly to keep wasting ink cartridges with constant head cleaning and printer maintenance and made no sense to have to replace the printers so often.
I think I went through three or four Epson inkjet printers replacing them every two to three years (on average).Īfter using Epson inkjet printers for so long, I decided to make a switch.
Eventually, printer maintenance and head cleaning wouldn’t work anymore so I’d have to buy a new printer. To resolve the issue, I would run the printer maintenance and head cleaning utilities which would normally fix the issue, at least temporarily, but would also use up a ridiculous amount of ink with each cleaning (as you probably know, ink cartridges aren’t cheap). For many years, I used Epson inkjet printers because of their print quality however, I would constantly run into the issue of clogged printhead nozzles and degraded print quality.
