HP LaserJet P1008 Review

Whilst laser printers along with MFDs have been more costly compared to inkjet products, producers are generally attempting to reduce their prices making them less expensive. Compact, entry-level laser printers are now currently sold at prices at which inkjet printers had been sold a couple of years back, or even at prices at which various lesser expensive inkjet MFD's are available today.

The HP LaserJet P1008 is stylish as well as being a really streamlined printer once the trays are folded away, no bigger than an average inkjet printer. It is just under 20 cm in height and in addition takes up hardly any desktop space. It weighs in at 4.7 kg, which is a bit more than an inkjet printer, yet continues to be manageable. The body is constructed of white and grey polymer, aside from the underside and also a part of the back, where there exists a metal chassis. The entire build quality is extremely robust and this includes the trays as well.

The input tray is situated at the bottom, and it is able to be realigned to accept diverse paper sizes. Its capacity is 150 sheets, which is sufficient with regard to SoHo or home users. Paper is positioned with the side to be printed facing upward. There is also a 10-sheet priority tray located over the main input tray to get some quick prints utilizing a different kind of paper compared to that placed in the main input tray.

The output tray or in other words the output bin is found towards the top of the unit. It has a tongue-like extension to stop paper from sliding over. Paper is deposited with the printed part facing down. The paper capacity of the output tray is 100 sheets.

There isn't any display with this printer. You will find simply two LEDs to inform you if the printer is in ready mode or if there is some error - for instance when the cartridge bay is open, or perhaps once the toner is low. Additionally, besides a power switch, there is no switch anyplace, not even a cancel button. The power button is ideally positioned at the front end for simple access instead of at the rear, like on some printers.

This particular machine incorporates only a solitary driver CD without extra software. The driver program is extremely basic and lets you make use of features including collate, manual duplex printing, and so on. Addititionally there is an option to pick EconoMode to avoid wasting the HP LaserJet P1008 toner cartridge. You may also produce and keep your personal list of preset settings for when needed.

We printed a page of black text to find out the speed in addition to level of quality of the printing. Page one required only nine seconds, and that is just like that stated by HP. The pages per minute (PPM) in the first minute was 15.6 and it achieved 17 in the subsequent minutes.

For the purpose of this examination, we utilized a page of multi-coloured graphs, text, charts, patterns as well as pictures. Because it's a monochrome printer we were taking a look at, we inspected for the greyscale output level of quality. The document required 10.7 seconds to create the initial print, whilst the PPM in the first minute was 14.7. The PPM touched 16.7 afterwards.

The grade of print was fine here also plus the legibility wasn't changed right down to the lowest point size. This really is outstanding performance from this sort of small a unit.

The machine is designed for people who may well not need to have colour prints and would rather prefer high quality black and white printouts. For its compactness, simplicity of use, quality as well as results, this printer gets top marks.
