HP LaserJet 1020

I bought the HP LaserJet 1020 after reading reviews about it on a couple of websites. I always research my purchases, especially as cost doesnt always mean quality. I like to learn from others misfortunes before committing time and money to something.

I must admit I was glad I bought this, and not some of the others out there. Its small and quite easy to set up and the quality of the prints is excellent. It comes with a starter cartridge which lasts for around 1000 sheets of normal printing. A replacement only costs $30 and will last another 2000, or a high yield for $37 will last 3000 sheets.

I use this printer for personal stuff and have found it ideal. It is only black and white, but I dont need to print color. It connects to my computer by USB and is controlled completely from there. It has to be because there are no buttons or controls on the printer itself. It is pretty much a blank box, paper goes in one end and the print comes out the other. Any fiddling with settings or cancelling of print jobs has to come from the printer control panel on the pc, which isnt a problem for home users, but might be for an office.

The prints themselves are good. I mainly print code, or text and every single sheet I print looks clear and bright. I occasionally print an image or photograph and they come out okay too. The grays make the picture look old fashioned which adds extra appeal. It marks the color differences well, with a different shade of gray for each different color.

The LaserJet 1020 prints at something like 14 pages a minute, although I rarely print that many. The other good thing about it is that is warms up almost immediately, which is a nice bonus for us impatient users. It still takes a few seconds to warm once it has been powered down, but if you use standby its ready almost instantly.

This is a great black and white printer, ideal for the home or home office user. Its easy to put together, to install and to run. The prints are as good as youre likely to need and it wont let you down.

HP LaserJet 1100

The HP LaserJet 1100 is supplied with a mere 2Mb of internal memory as standard. We upgraded ours to have 8Mb. The more memory a printer has the quicker it can handle print data. It also has a 35Mhz Motorola processor.

The printer has a standard resolution of 600 dpi which is a perfectly decent resolution for a printer, especially a laser. It’s capable of 8 pages per minute and our experience is that it actually achieves that too. The printer can be connected using a parallel port or as is more commonly the case with a workgroup, network using the Ethernet adapter.

The paper tray can handle a total of 125 sheets, so while this has network capabilities, it might feel more at home as a single user or SOHO printer. I imagine larger workgroups might end up being a bit much for it after a while, especially with only 8Mb of memory.

We are such SOHO users, so can vouch for its capability as that. There are only three of us on our network and have yet to give the 1100 pause. We aren’t great printers, but there are times, especially when a deadline looms that things get a bit frenetic and we’re all trying to get our individual parts of a project done at once.

Print quality is second to none, even with only 600 dpi to work with. It doesn’t matter so much to a laser than to an inkjet. In our experience, coverage is much more even, precise and quicker than with ink. Photos and images are much better with an inkjet, but seem a bit more expensive to print. Our requirements are predominantly textual, so it matters little to us.

The LaserJet 1100 prints text well, whatever the size. We are journalists so we use standard fonts, MLA formatting and only the odd image, as the editor adds those himself. Test in Times New Roman is pretty standard, you can’t really go wrong with it, but when we print something non-work related, it handles other fonts and points very well indeed.

The HP LaserJet 1100 is a good old workhorse printer. While marketed at a workgroup, I’m not sure its suited to one larger than ours. It works well, prints well and has given us no trouble since we owned it.

HP LaserJet 4700

Yet another addition to the world of HPs printers is this color laser jet printer with greater flexibility and ease of operations. After its purchase our primary concern was the ease of use. Being such an elaborately defined chassis for multipurpose printing options, the HP LaserJet 4700 was a bit intimidating to handle at first. However it did not take long to familiarize with this user friendly machine.

The HP LaserJet 4700 has proven a true work place companion and has added to the ease of our business operations. This powerful printer has taken our workgroup printing to the next level through greater perfection and the excellent quality of the print outs. The initial hesitation being a new user was primarily for quality of visuals included in the document. However as the first color image slid out of the output slot it was pure joy to see how realistic it looked and how smooth it appeared. Even the paper was crisp and straight which was pure bliss. Since then this printer has not failed to surpass our professional scrutiny.

Time has always been an issue at our workplace so the next challenge this HP LaserJet 4700 was subject to was speedy output. Through employing the latest technology, the very first page that came out of this printer after the data was entered took not more than 10 seconds. Its expandable memory allows taking approximately 33 colored or monochrome prints per minute with a color balance that is better than that produced by many similar products. It also has an automatic system for duplex printing, a USB and an EIO slot for more convenient use.

In the workplace, the HP LaserJet 4700 has been able to serve multiple users for a long time. However it is important to monitor it and refill its 100 sheet multipurpose tray regularly to continue the process without any slowdowns. Although it is slightly expensive compared to many other printers, for us it has proven to be a pretty good investment that has never failed to produce a pleasing print.

After the initial installation of software and drivers, and connecting HP LaserJet 4700 to the computer system, all we had to do was click the print button to produce great quality, vibrant black and white as well as color prints of pictures, diagrams and texts every time we needed to. Its toners last a while, and it has given consistent and reliable performance so far.
