HP LaserJet Pro M5035 MFP Review

HP's LaserJet multifunction printer family simply is constantly growing. The latest M5035 MFP is aimed at big workgroups of all the way up to 15 individuals having a need for mono A3 printing and also copying, colour scanning and the capability to e-mail documents straight from the machine.

Paper handling possibilities are notable, as the basic version on review includes a set of two 250-sheet lower trays, otherwise you can select the succeeding models inside the range which increase this by as much as 1,500 pages. In either case, the M5035 can be enhanced with additional trays, duplex unit, stacker/stapler and analogue fax card. The machine comes with 256MB of memory however as we found with the M3035xs MFP, if you need to enhance HP will relieve you of an eye-watering £394 just for a256MB 100-pin DIMM component. On a happier note, printing costs tend to be low, because the 15,000-sheet cartridge delivers an A4 page for a mere 0.7p.

HP has streamlined the installment operation well. We like the menu option on the control panel's principal page, allowing you to look at as well as print all network address particulars by using two button presses. Driver and utility installs are also deftly dealt with, aided by the routine browsing the network for HP printers in this process. The printer's operator panel is simple to make use of plus there are scanning choices aplenty, because you can copy and also print many pages while using the automatic document feeder, scan and email as an attachment, as well as scan directly to a network folder or even FTP site. The last option worked fine using our Windows Server 2003 domain controller running IIS, not to mention we could also send files to shared folders as PDFs, JPEGs or TIFFs. You are able to send documents straight from the control panel or printer driver for storage on the internal 40GB hard disk plus each can be PIN secured.

The quoted print rates of speed were somewhat pessimistic: the tests in fact demonstrated the unit to be marginally faster. A 35-page A4 Word document was in fact despatched in 59 seconds at 600dpi, whilst an 18-page A3 document needed 55 seconds. Plus, our heavy-duty 24-page DTP-style document printed in 40 seconds to achieve an average pace of 36ppm. Moving resolution up to the absolute maximum ProRes 1200 configuring did not phase it either, as this required 40 seconds as well.

We only wish we might say the same in relation to HP LaserJet M5035 MFP printer cartridge print quality, nevertheless the M5035 fails in this particular category. Standard text output was pin-sharp down to the smallest of font sizes, but charts as well as photo images faired badly. Bar and pie charts suffered from an unsightly banding, that turned out to be much more apparent in pictures, and also the overall level of fine detail for the latter was basically poor. We found quality with respect to the M3035xs MFP to be ordinary, however with respect to the M5035 it was basically unacceptable. Further checks likewise demonstrated hardly any discernable distinctions among the varied resolutions offered by the driver panel.

HP's MFP models generally offer an unequalled range of features for the cost. The M5035 MFP isn't any different, but it is a genuine disgrace that basic print quality is really uninspiring.
