HP CP1020 Printer Review

The HP LaserJet Pro CP1020 is a great machine for small to midlevel offices. It offers quality prints at a decent price and has the ability to produce up to 15,000 pages each and every month. Compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux and Solaris operating systems, buyers will easily be able to connect and set up this color laser printer. The size is small at 15.7x15.8x9.9 inches, making it easy to find a place for, but the weight of 26.67 pounds may be a complaint for users. Only using four HP CP1020 toner cartridges, this machine will be very easy to maintain all around.

The four LaserJet Pro CP1020 toner cartridges needed for printing are filled with cyan, yellow, magenta and black printer toner. The color and black toners alike last about 1,000 pages before needing replaced. For those who print mostly in black-and-white and do not want to find themselves replacing HP CP1020 toner often, a high capacity version is available that will last 14,000 pages.

The thing about this machine that may get buyers down is its slow nature all around. The first page out time for color documents is 27.5 seconds, and when using the black HP CP1020 toner it will take up to 15.5 seconds for the first page to be produced. When printing in black-and-white, up to 16 pages per minute can be printed, while color print speeds are around 4 pages per minute. If the office is busy and prints a lot of documents daily, these speeds will surely become an annoyance.

On the flip side of things, though, the laser printer can created very high quality documents using the LaserJet Pro CP1020 toner. The highest resolutions possible are a strong 600x600 dpi, which will leave documents looking sharp and professional. Text documents will look professional and sharp.
