HP CP5220 Printer Review

For speeds of up to 20 pages per minute, check out the HP LaserJet CP5220. A color laser machine, it was built to work best in midlevel offices that produce 75,000 pages or less. It comes with a maximum memory of 448 MB and a processor speed of 540 MHz. To produce its awesome color documents, the machine uses four HP CP5220 toner cartridges. A versatile machine, the CP5220 is compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems. Those who work with other operating systems will need to look elsewhere.

The four LaserJet CP5220 toner cartridges used are filled with cyan, magenta, yellow and black printer toner. The color toners should last buyers around 7,300 pages before they will need replaced, while the black HP CP5220 toner will last about 7,000 pages. Though these seem like large page yields, if the unit is used to its maximum capacity of 75,000 pages, the printer toner will need to be replaced frequently, which could get somewhat expensive. Remanufactured LaserJet CP5220 toner is a great way to save money.

Using the HP CP5220 toner, resolutions of 600x600 dpi are possible. This will leave documents looking professional and precise. Text documents will be flawless. It takes about 16 seconds and 17 seconds for the first color and black page out, respectively. Though there are machines that can warm-up a lot faster, don't let that be a deterrent.

One great thing about this laser machine is the fact that it is compatible with so many different media types. Plain, bond, colored, brochure, letterhead, photo, glossy, plain, pre-punched, pre-printed, rough and recycled paper are all supported by the unit, as well as cardstock, transparencies, glossy film, envelopes and labels. With versatility like that, buyers will be able to create whatever documents they want with little hassle, making the HP CP5220 a great buy all around.
