This is our printer we used at work, and it's not a domestic quality in my view, as it's very expensive and quite large, but my goodness if you are doing high volume printing then this baby is the mutt's nuts.
This is simply fab.
Why? well here goes:
1. It has an outstanding print quality. good as the local printers, in both black and white, and colour..
2. It's very very quick. so quick that when you do double sided printing it saves time by printing side one of the second sheet while turning over the first sheet. I've never seen a printer do that before. It is honestly as quick as the photocopier for some jobs. It takes about 3 seconds to do a page of colour A4.
3. It is economical. The print cartridges are much better value than anything not laser of course, and this one always prints in true black using the black ink even if you've accidentally pressed the colour button button for a black and white sheet. And you buy all the four colours separately so if one runs out you don't have to replace the whole lot. There's a display on the front to tell you how much ink is left.
4. It starts up quickly, both from the start and from sleep mode - just a few seconds.
5. Should it have any problems, on our contract they always came out the next business day, which isn't bad.
6. It's not small but it is a pretty compact size to stand on top of a filing cabinet, say in the corner of the office.
7. Because it has a USB port, you can arrive with your laptop if you only use the office occasionally, plug in and print quickly using it. With our old printer there wasn't a USB, so as a laptop user I had to email what I wanted to someone with a desktop attached to the printer and they'd have to print out for me. HP drivers are easy to get from the web, if you need to.
8. It prints to A5 and B5 as well as A4.
9. Ours only went wrong twice in three years, (and we all know that was human error not machine failure, but we name no names LOL)
They cost a good £500 so it's not something you'd buy unless you were running a real office type environment, but if you need what this offers, my goodness, it's good.
