HP has introduced two new colour inkjet printers, the Deskjet 6980 and Deskjet 6940.

Both models sit at the top of the company’s performance line and promise exceptional speed and professional-quality colour prints at an affordable price.

What's got us so excited is the fact that these snazzy-looking inkjets come wired for Ethernet sharing with up to five computers.

And in addition to wired networking, the HP Deskjet 6980 Printer also offers wireless printing and built-in Wi-Fi 802.11g/b (about time too - Ed!). It also includes SecureEasySetup which allows you to connect easily with a wireless network in less than 10 minutes, claims HP.

These new high performance Deskjets are designed for high-volume printing consumers who need speed, professional quality documents and photos that resist fading for generations when using HP’s Vivera Inks. The Deskjet 6980 and Deskjet 6940 offer print speeds of up to 36 pages per minute (ppm) in black and 27ppm in colour.

High-volume HP 339 Black and HP 344 Tri-Colour Inkjet Print Cartridges, an optional 250-sheet paper tray and an automatic two-sided printing accessory are also available for those needing even greater efficiency.

Both models have an optimised print resolution of 4800 dots per inch (dpi) and optional 6-ink tanks for photo printin. With a PictBridge-enabled camera, you can connect to the front USB port and print photos directly without the need for a computer.

Both printers print standard and custom size photos up to 215x610mm panorama prints, with or without borders, and include the HP Photosmart Premier software that allows you to organise, edit and enhance digital photos.

The Deskjet 6980 and 6940 support Windows, 98 SE, ME, 2000 Professional, XP and Macintosh Mac OS X v10.2, 10.3 and later. The recommended street price of the Deskjet 6980 is £129 and the Deskjet 6940 is £99. Both printers will be available for purchase in March 2006.
