HP Cm1312nfi Colour Laserjet Printer
With a single 150-page paper tray and recommended 250 to 1,500 monthly page output, the CM1312nfi is best described as a light-duty printer designed for smaller scale jobs. Its rated speed of 12 PPM for black and eight PPM for color falls on the slower side relative to costlier color lasers.
The CM1312nfi outputs its first page more quickly than some more expensive color lasers. It's LED-based "Instant On" technology does not require the lengthy warm-up time that can slow down first-page output, even for printers with a higher PPM rate over longer print jobs.
The CM1312nfi excels in two important areas: print quality and supported media types. Black print quality is crisp and strong, while color prints are sharp and vibrant. There is a subtle but attractive gloss to the prints, even on plain paper.
In fact, the CM1312nfi can print on actual glossy photo paper, something that some more expensive color lasers cannot do. While the CM1312nfi will not compete against a good inkjet on photographic print quality, it can produce very acceptable 8x10s and smaller, particularly with good quality glossy media.
HP claims that its ColorSphere toner formula increases color range by 22 percent and gloss by 40 percent over other toners, and while we can't put these precise measurements to the test, the look is impressive—particularly coming from a three-color toner palette.
In addition to glossy paper, the CM1312nfi handles a range of weights from light to cardstock, and a range of formats including letter, legal, A4, envelopes, labels, and transparencies. Unfortunately, the CM1312nfi lacks a separate manual paper feed slot. To print the one-off envelope or other unusual media, you have to load it into the primary (and only) paper tray—an unusual feature omission.
HP LaserJet P3005n Printer
The HP LaserJet P3005 is a mono laser printer that's all business: it's a quick printer that offers great print quality. With five configurations from which to choose (ranging from $550 to $1,000), you can find the right one for your home office or multi-user office, but the Lexmark E350 series boasts faster prints and is, overall, a better value. The Lexmark E352dn includes a duplexer and is network ready, and at $450, is $100 cheaper than the basic HP P3005, which includes neither feature (the comparably featured HP P3005dn costs $900). To its credit, the HP P3005 gives you better paper handling out of the box and cheaper prints. For the value and faster prints, we prefer the Lexmark E352dn, but the HP LaserJet P3005 is still an excellent, single-purpose office printer. The HP LaserJet P3005 is boxy, but its bland gray-and-putty color scheme will blend into any standard office environment. It stands 16.7 inches wide, 16.1 inches deep, and 12.2 inches tall, and weighs nearly 36 pounds. (The P3005x model is taller and heavier due to the extra paper tray.) It's reasonably small for a mono laser printer, but may be on the large side for a small home office.
The 500-sheet paper cassette pulls out from the front of the printer. You can adjust the tray to hold up to legal-length paper, though the cassette will stick out from the back of the printer. Above the cassette sits a foldout multipurpose tray that holds up to 100 sheets of plain paper--convenient for small print jobs on less commonly used media (you don't have to swap out the contents of the main tray). The top of the printer serves as the output tray, and a small extension flap helps keep long prints under control.
The control panel is straightforward, befitting the basic nature of the HP LaserJet P3005. A menu button and menu navigation button help you scroll through the short list of menus on the backlit, two-line text LCD. The options are those you'd expect: print quality, diagnostics, and maintenance, to name a few. One we found handy is the "Show Me How" menu, which includes options such as how to clear paper jams, how to load trays, and how to load special media. If you choose one of these, you'll receive a printout walking you through the process (these also can be found in the user guide). Of course, trying to print the How To Clear Paper Jams page after encountering a jam is fruitless and slightly ironic.
