Expert Verdict
HP Laserjet Pro M452NW is a standard, and only a colour laser printer, meaning it comes with no scan and copy features. This printer is well-known for printing good quality text, colour spreadsheets and graphs at the fastest speed possible. In terms of cost, some inkjets use ink to clean their printheads, but in laser printers, there is no need to waste the HP Laserjet Pro M452NW toner cartridges as there are no print heads to clean. Hence this printer is cheaper than other laser printers in its class as the printing costs are below average. We assume the average cost will be just 15p for black text pages. So, this printer is the cheapest to run amongst the other printers with the same features. Talking about features, this 18.9 kg machine, which is quite bulky, allows you to connect directly to a PC with a USB cable, or to a router using its built-in wifi or using ethernet connectivity. This means you can print either way, with a wired network or a wireless network. Moreover, the printer setup and HP Laserjet Pro M452NW toner cartridge installation in this printer are very easy. The advantage of connecting the printer to Ethernet is that you can share the printer without requiring a USB connecting the computer to always be on.
This printer is aimed to deliver output at the fastest as possible, therefore, the text pages print quickly and the prints are sharp. Even adding a splash of colour does not slow it down. Office colour prints, for instance, charts and sheets, look sharp with no banding like other poor quality printers. Thanks to the HP Laserjet Pro M452NW toner cartridge, If you want to leave an impression from your office prints, prints from the HP Laserjet Pro M452NW printer certainly will. However, when it comes to printing colour images, it is not that impressive. The prints are a bit disappointing as they look grainy. Also, we can not get over the fact that it lacks scan and copy functions, but, if you are looking for these functions, you might want to go with other printers.
One more thing you should know about this printer is that it doesn’t warm up quickly for its first print. Therefore after switching the printer on, you will have to wait around 40 seconds before performing the first task as laser printers have to heat their rollers before printing the first page. But again, you can go to other printers that warm up quickly.
This printer comes with 4 HP Laserjet Pro M452NW toner cartridges - Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black. Furthermore, the HP Laserjet Pro M452NW comes with two paper trays, saving you a lot of time in switching from plain to headed paper. One of the nicest things about the size of this printer is that unlike some of the smaller printers, it does not “unfold” with trays sticking out, making them effectively bigger than the “as shipped” size. Because of this, it will not take up much valuable space on your desk. This printer has Bluetooth built-in, so you can print directly from your iPad and iPhone. In order to do so, you can download the free “HP Smart” App on your iOS device. You are also allowed to print directly from the “Pages” App as long as your iOS device has its Bluetooth on. The printer lacks automatic double-sided printing. If you want to print on both sides of the paper, you will have to do it manually. Using HP Laserjet Pro M452NW toner cartridges, you will be able to produce double-sided printing easily.
In conclusion, this printer is worth buying. Though it's rather costly for a printer that only prints, it can handle all your business printing needs with ease and keep your printing costs low with its high capacity HP Laserjet Pro M452NW toner cartridges.
