HP 1200d Printer Review

The HP Business Inkjet 1200d is an inkjet printer that offers unique features which set it apart from other HP units. More diverse paper handling options and an inexpensive price ($200-$220) makes the HP 1200d a perfect choice for any small business. Also, a 6,250 page-per-month output rate sets the HP 1200d as one of the most efficient HP units, another bonus for a business seeking a device that produces quality results at high capacity.

Although the Business Inkjet 1200d is larger than most inkjets at 8.9"X16.5'X19.9", its bonus facilities more than make up for the extra bulk. One tray can hold 150 sheets of paper, but there is an option of purchasing an additional tray that can hold 250 sheets. Producing 2.6 pages per minute for black Business Inkjet 1200d ink and 6.5 pages per minute for color graphics, this unit is efficient with speed.

This unit's print head is separated from its HP 1200d ink cartridges. As a result, cartridges of Hp 1200d ink and print heads can be replaced separately. The size of HP 1200d ink cartridges also saves money since they are larger and more adept for high-volume printing. However, Business Inkjet 1200d ink cartridges that come in the box are only a portion of the size as replacement printer ink, meaning the first batch will need replacing quickly.

Setup for the HP 1200d is fairly easy. A setup poster and startup guide come in the box, as well as the print head and cartridges of HP 1200d ink. However, if an owner still has trouble installing their HP 1200d, online guides are available and more detailed information is given in the box.

Reviews for this unit are mostly positive, including satisfaction with high quality and adulation for low cost HP 1200d ink replacement cartridges. This low cost on printer ink is also due to each page only costing around 2 cents. Compatible models with the 1200d include the 1200dn, 1200dtn and 1200dtwn. As opposed to the 1200d model, the 1200dn and the 1200dtn have wired ethernet options. However, the HP 1200dtwn stands alone in its ability to have wired and wireless 802.11b Ethernet connections.
