HP 1055CM Printer Review

Large format printers are great for those who need to create large documents professionally, and the HP DesignJet 1055cm is one of the best. With a large weight of 178.6 pounds, it will be a very hard unit to lift, and for an inkjet printer it is huge too at 61.4x26.6x50.8 inches. Standard with a parallel and ethernet interface, it is very easy to setup and because it only uses only four HP 1055cm ink cartridges, there will be little maintenance involved. These four tanks of DesignJet 1055cm ink are easy to find.

The DesignJet 1055cm ink cartridges come filled with cyan, yellow, magenta and black printer ink. Each tank lasts about 2,200 pages, which means users probably won't have to replace them too terribly often. Resolutions as high as 1200x600 dpi can be reached at speeds of 2 minutes per page. The HP 1055cm ink comes in two versions—OEM and remanufactured. Remanufactured printer ink is the more affordable option all together.

There are customer reviews online that rate this machine quite highly. People love how fast and reliable it is as a whole, and the reviews of the quality of documents produced are excellent every time. Reviewers find that it is perfect for making banners and large maps, and that the sharpness and quality produced are excellent. For the most part, users find that it is simple to use and easy to setup and get installed. Another thing consumers appreciate is all the different paper types supported.

For the most part paper is fed through rollers. However, standard paper types are supported. Photo paper and plain paper can also be printed on by HP 1055cm ink, as well as coated and glossy paper. Other media types that are compatible include imaging film, high gloss film, tracing paper, semi-gloss photo paper and continuous forms. All around the 1055cm is a versatile machine.
