HP Colour Laserjet CP1515N Toner Cartridges

Expert Verdict

The HP Colour LaserJet CP1515n is a "workgroup printer," which means it has a number of advanced features and functions that make it ideal for businesses and offices. A speedier CPU in the printer, as well as high-capacity HP Colour Laserjet CP1515N Toner Cartridges and built-in networking, are among the benefits. With a 450 MHz internal processor and a high-capacity HP Colour Laserjet CP1515N Toner Cartridges, the HP CP1515n is a typical workgroup laser printer. The LaserJet CP1515n, like many of its contemporaries, can print in color at a resolution of 600 x 600 dpi. It can also print black-and-white text at a decent 12 pages per minute.

It's around the size of a workgroup mono laser, although it's relatively narrow and low off the desk. A broad radius curve at the front, as well as the three-tone grey color scheme, help to soften the otherwise boxy appearance. The control panel is integrated into the front curve and features two bright LED indicators, five buttons, and a 2-line by 16-character LCD that is difficult to view due to reflections from the curved, clear-plastic cover and its deep-set position. A backlight would be quite beneficial. The 150-sheet paper tray at the bottom of the printer's front panel emphasises the printer's target market of home or maybe SOHO users. There are lots of other inkjet machines with higher capacity trays at this price, and you'll be replenishing this one frequently. Above the tray are a single-sheet multipurpose slot and HP's odd flip-up panel, which is supposed to allow access to paper jams. USB and Ethernet ports are located on the back of the device.

The combined drum and HP Colour Laserjet CP1515N Toner Cartridges are delivered in situ, in a tray that slides out from the front of the machine, allowing for very easy access to the consumables during installation. Before you can use the machine, you must remove the protective tapes from each HP Colour Laserjet CP1515N Toner Cartridges, although this is a quick process. This printer, unlike the Color LaserJet CP1215, can be connected to a PC or a Mac and utilised as a PCL or Postscript device, making it significantly more versatile. HP makes no mention of Linux drivers, despite the fact that they are accessible for the majority of their computers.

The CP1515n's print quality varies depending on what you're printing. At the machine's default resolution of 600dpi and with HP Colour Laserjet CP1515N Toner Cartridges, black text print is excellent, with clear, thick letters. There is no toner spatter, and the characters are beautifully formed across the board. Color graphics are also incredibly vibrant and colorful, making them great for eye-catching charts and graphs, as well as good black text registration on coloured backgrounds. The only time its output falls short is when recreating photographs, which is never a laser’s strong suit. Despite using HP's trademarked ColorSphere toner, the color range of this machine is narrower than that of several other lasers and practically all inkjets we can think of. It creates an overly vivid depiction with a ‘seaside postcard' look that detracts from landscape shots. In darker portions of photos, there is also a loss of detail, and color transitions, such as in blue skies, are not as smooth. The four drum and toner cartridges are the machine's operating costs, but you can cut costs by using compatible HP Colour Laserjet CP1515N Toner Cartridges.

Several features of the HP Color LaserJet CP1515n are very appealing. It's simple to maintain, generates beautiful black text and color graphics, and has low operating expenses. On the other hand, it's a little slow, has a small paper tray, and a difficult-to-read LCD. Overall, it's a good printer for small offices & homes.
