If an old printer has broken or simply doesn’t suit the needs of casual use or a small home office, then it’s time to consider a new printer. It’s sometimes difficult to decide what type of printer to buy, though, due to the wide selection of printer types and brands. One to consider for the house office or simple home use is the HP Color LaserJet cp1515n printer with HP Color LaserJet CP1515n toner.
There is one thing that shouldn’t necessarily dissuade someone from printer shopping in general. No matter which brand of printer happens to finds its way to a shopper’s personal use, ink cartridges are going to be costly. It doesn’t seem like there’s any way around that specific to a printer, so it probably shouldn’t be a deciding factor in a purchase.
There’s typically at least one number that is a little misleading in every technology product and printers are no exception to this rule. For printing tech, though, duty cycle is the number to ignore. It doesn’t reflect a real-world estimate of how this printer will hold up. Rather, check out the recommended volume figure, since it’s supposed to be a more realistic estimate of how a printer will perform under the best of conditions. Compare that to how many pages the printer is expect to handle per month.
In this case, the printer can be expected to print between 250 and 1000 pages per month, as per HP’s recommended monthly page volume. This reflects use in keeping with the intentions of the design and the warrantee.
The manufacturer’s specifications place the cp1515n at a printing speed at up to 12 pages per minute for black and white pages and up to 8 pages per minute for color uses. Its input tray handles up to 150 sheets of paper and its output tray holds 125 sheets. So, the printer isn’t exactly high volume, but it serves the needs of slightly more than normal household use.
Ink cartridge capacity is also a factor in deciding whether a particular printer suits a user’s needs. If a printer cartridge has to be replaced frequently, then a printer with a larger intended volume should probably replace it. The cartridges for the cp1515n printer produce approximately 750 pages of color as well as 750 pages of black and white printing.
As for image quality, the newer HP models, like the HP Color LaserJet cp1515n printer, use a technology called HP ColorSphere that has significantly improved the text and color of the materials it produces. A number of users cite a noticeable difference in the quality of the printings from previous models that they’ve owned.
Not many people end up using, or even keeping the software that comes bundled with their printers. The HP Color LaserJet cp1515n printer, which uses HP Color LaserJet cp1515n toner, offers what it calls Marketing Resources software, which provides some tools that some might find useful for advertising their club, product, or service. At the very least, it gives some ideas on how to use the printer, a fairly speedy and convenient home or home office tool, to the best of its abilities. Remember that you will also need some toner eventually. Hp toner can be purchased at a store or online.
