The speed of this printer is certainly one of its best features. HP rate this printer as being able to produce 35 pages per minutes and the printer certainly lives up to it’s rating in many independent tests. This above average performance in speed of print outs coupled with the great value remanufactured ink and toner available makes it a great asset to any home user, small office or micro-business. In fact, this printer tied for first place with Lexmark E260dn which until recently was the fastest monochrome laser toner printer available.
The graphics and photo resolution using the remanufactured CE505A ink toner and CE505X toner ink is good enough for internal business use. This makes it a good buy for any small office or school that requires a lot of internal printing; giving good results with affordable ink and toner. The high setting on the print resolution is best avoided as the results are not good and tend to give ‘banding’. This is not such much a fault of the CE505A or CE505X toner ink but of the capability of the printer to produce high-resolution results.
There is a lot to consider when choosing a printer, if the specs are reasonably good and the reviews are favourable, surely the most important feature must be the affordability of the ink and toner. In this case toner ink for the HP LaserJet P2055 certainly proves good value for money when running at 50% of the cost of original toner ink.
