Advantages: Great if you want all your solutions in one gadget
Disadvantages: Expensive ink & annoying pop-ups if your don't use the right brand

I think this is a good budget printer - whoever came up with the All-In-One concept needs a pat on the back - I hope I can help you come to your own conclusion. Here's a summary of my experiences. Aesthetics The design is excellent for the purpose. I can't say it's the most sophisticated but it does the job and the paper tray can be folded up making it compact and storable if necessary. The All-in-One is quite large for a modern printer but ...
...the option to choose the standard to which copies are made. The quality of printing has to be adjusted on whatever computer programme you are using (e.g Word). The quality is great for standard documents but for photographs I recommend setting the programme to 'Best print quality' to get the best results. The qulity really depends on a combination of camera, paper quality, printer and computer settings, so it's difficult to judge fairly without doign ... Read review

Advantages: Looks good, prints fast,
Disadvantages: Too expensive for heavy use

...poor old geriatric canon inkjet. HP quote about 8ppm and that seems about right. Not the fastest of lasers I know but were not doing runs of 20,000 books so it suits us fine. Set up and install ------------------------ Came in a really big box. Looks like itd take 2 printers but disappointingly there was only one.Usual plug-and-play set-up on a workstation via a usb (supplied). we got the technician to install it to the network at a later date ...
...Supplies ------------ About £40 per HP cartridde which was getting WAY too expensive for the kids to use. I think the compatibles were coming in at around £30. * 1 x toner cartridge ( cyan ) - up to 2000 pages * 1 x toner cartridge ( magenta ) - up to 2000 pages * 1 x toner cartridge ( yellow ) - up to 2000 pages * 1 x toner cartridge ( black ) - up to 2500 pages Looks --------- Chunky but not especially bulky if that makes any sense. The ... Read review

Advantages: Looks good and reasonable quality
Disadvantages: Running costs

The HP Colour LaserJet 2605 is a good little printer; the colour printing is good quality and fast. It is the ideal home or small office printer, the paper tray on the LJ2605 is small so required topping up constantly with paper. The LJ2605 is easy to use and the instructions on the led screen are simple and easy to follow, the screen is a little on the small side though. You should be able to pick this printer up for less than £300. 00 Toner ...
...are retailing for around £50.00 each……. and this is the main drawback with this machine, the toner packs are quite small so you don't get much for your money and to replace all four colours is going to cost almost £200.00. Being an Hewlett Packard makes it easy to maintain, parts for this printer are reasonable priced and readily available, having said that I have had no real problems with this printer although the little paper holder on the output ...

Advantages: Print quality, Discounted Price
Disadvantages: Cost of toner, sheer size

...a replacement for an old HP black laser when I saw this on offer with £100 cashback from HP. Having had it running for about 3 weeks now I can report on what it's like to use. Setup was quite straightforward, I opted for the network setup so it just plugged into router. Software installs quite quickly anf the HP Toolbox keeps an eye on ink levels via pc screen, although you do have to open it first. It is slow, very slow when compared to other ...
...used to 25 ppm from the machine it replaces. However, first page comes out quickly and if you are patient ot's worth the wait. Colour reproduction is pretty impressive, black is crisp and easy to read. It is a b-i-g printer so make sure you measure your desk space before ordering. Supplies are not particularly cheap at around £40 for each cartridge covering around 2500 sheets from each. Was it the right decision to buy? I think it was, particularly ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, easy to set up, lots of prints per cartridge
Disadvantages: Expensive, not really for home use

...luckily we now have the HP Color LaserJet 3600. We got the printer a few months ago now so we have had a fair bit of experience and carried out all the routine maintenance you would expect to within the life of a printer. Now I can't tell you anything about the packaging as we have a separate department who deal with all our technology bits, so they received the printer, unpacked it and brought it up to our office. What I can tell you though is ...
...before but then we phoned HP and requested an engineer come and sort out this problem. The printer has a one year warranty with a response time of the next day. We reported the problem on Thursday and the engineer arrived on Monday lunchtime, not quite the next day but a fairly good response time, besides which the printer was still functioning, just about. The engineer took the printer apart, removed all the trays and cartridges, etc. After hours ... Read review
