The HP LaserJet 2605 is a color laser printer designed for the small or medium office environment. It has great print quality in both monochrome and color, and some nice extras like a memory card reader.
The 2605 is one of the most affordably priced color laser printers in its class, and it provides excellent print quality. Text quality is especially impressive, with well-formed letters readable even at very small font sizes. Graphics printing is a little better than average for a laser printer. Color printing is quite good, especially for the price. Colors are generally accurate, and even photos turn out quite well, especially when printing on glossy paper.
The design of the HP 2605 is not exactly compact, but it is not overly bulky, either. It measures 20.2 inches by 16.1 inches by 17.8 inches (HWD), and weighs 52.1 pounds. It won’t fit in the tightest spaces, but it does not take up an inordinate amount of space. Two 250-sheet input trays are located on the bottom, and the output tray is on top, with a capacity of 125 sheets. The printer includes memory card slots for printing directly from a memory card, a very nice bonus.
Print speeds are fairly disappointing. Black prints are around 9 pages per minute, while color prints are around 6 pages per minute. At these speeds, the LaserJet 2605 falls behind much of its competition, but its print quality is better than most of the same competition. Users will have to decide for themselves whether this is a worthwhile tradeoff for their needs.
HP LaserJet 2605 toner cartridges are easy to access and replace. The black HP 2605 toner cartridge has a capacity of around 2,500 pages and each of the 3 color HP 2605 toner cartridges have capacities of 2,000 pages. It is nice to see that HP includes full-size HP LaserJet 2605 toner cartridges with the printer instead of the starter cartridges that many manufacturers are including.
Overall, the HP LaserJet 2605 is a solid color laser printer with great print quality and some nice extra features. Slow speeds may be a serious problem for some buyers.
