Review Of The HP LaserJet 8100dn Printer

by Ben Pate

If you are after a solid printer that can efficiently keep up with your businesses or team's demands, then a workgroup laser model would be a good choice. These are built to handle multiple print jobs and generally have fast processors, a large memory, and print engines that can pump out an average of twenty pages each minute. A good example of such a machine is the HP LaserJet 8100dn printer using 8100dn laser toner.

Typically this model is placed in the category of four hundred dollar printers; these are much more than advanced personal laser printers. They will bring such workgroup applications as network printing and high capacity cartridges to your office. Most options like the LaserJet 8100dn should also provide larger sized paper input and output trays.

You may well ask why this HP printer is worth splashing out on. There is more than one reason. Though only a black and white printer, it has a capacity of 32 ppm and a resolution of 1,200 dpi that bring amazing clarity and quality to your monochrome prints using HP toner cartridges. Whether you have a small enterprise or a large office; it is a great choice for an every day printer or one that is used on an irregular basis.

You do not have to be a financial expert to be aware that the economy is still in a fragile shape. Because of this, most businesses are trying to minimize their outlay and overheads. The HP 8100dn will not upset your office's balance books. Though usually sold at $370, it may be possible to pick up a machine for as little as $300 through the Internet.

When deciding whether or not to invest in a specific model it's important to identify the advantages of a particular machine. The HP LaserJet 8100dn has more merits than pitfalls. Its duty cycle has been fixed at 20,000 pages a month. You will find that this is generally much higher than other similarly priced models, and to find another printer with such a large capacity would require paying upwards of a thousand dollars for the same performance.

You will want to know how easy it is to integrate any new office equipment into your communication system. This model has the option of Ethernet capability so that you can easily connect it to your LAN network without too much effort. Another advantage over similarly priced machines is that it can handle up to 1,100 sheets in its input tray; more than is typical.

It is the type of printer in which you can have confidence in setting up and then leaving to do its work. There is very little maintenance involved and there have been very few occasions when faults have been noticed. To improve the speed it takes to complete any printing task, this LaserJet has been designed with the facility for duplex printing. This is when both sides of a page can be printed with one pass of the print heads.

In summary, this HP printer is a very reliable monochrome workgroup machine using the superior LaserJet 8100dn compatible toner. Considering its price, it is an excellent value for money. You will be more than happy with its performance and with the output from the HP LaserJet laser toners. Price is also a factor with laser toner and you can find the best bargains online.
