For your home or small office printing needs, there’s the HP CP1215 ink and toner printer suitable for it. This color laser printer carries an affordable price tag as it has basic features only. But the performance is something not to be overlooked, eagerly meeting your everyday color and black-and-white output requirements. It may be placed on virtually any available space you got as it comes with a compact and lightweight body.
A fast processor of 264MHz resides within it to meet your everyday home and office output demands. For color jobs, up to 8 pages a minute can be produced, having the first page out in as little as 30 seconds. For monochrome jobs, as much as 12 pages a minute can be churned out with the first page out in only 24 seconds.
It’s to be noted, however, that the exact printing speeds may be affected by certain factors. Such include the document’s complexity or the system’s configuration. In making sure that your daily output requirements are met, a standard input tray feeder is around, capable of handling as much as 150 media sheets at once with HP cartridges.
Speaking of media, supported ones include those from A6, A5, and A4 to B5. There’s also support for custom sizes, which can include something as small as 76 mm x 127 mm to something as large as 216 mm x 356 mm. Media types supported are also versatile, to help you meet varied printing requirements. The machine can work on ordinary paper, photographic, glossy, rough, transparencies, cardstock, labels and envelopes.
Both color and monochrome printouts carry an impressive image resolution of 600 x 600 dots per inch. However, thanks to HP’s ImageREt. This resolution can be interpolated with up to 2400 x 600 dots per inch. Short for Image Resolution Enhancement Technology, it also allows for sharper, cleaner text printouts, even those in smaller font sizes. Likewise, color reproduction is maintained decent by ImageREt.
The duty cycle of this machine is set at 250000 pages a month by HP itself. Maintaining this requirement monthly allows for an optimum performance, as compared to other HP’s offerings. It also comes pre-installed with ColorSphere toner cartridges. But since the cartridges are introductory versions, they can yield roughly half of what standard ones can offer.
As much as 16MB of standard memory is available. Although there’s no memory or external HDD expansion slot available, the built-in memory is good enough for your day-to-day home or small workplace printing tasks. There’s also a driver support included for manual duplex capability. Since it’s not automatic, the pages have to be manually flipped over and re-inserted into the feeder for two-sided printing.
The HP CP1215 replacement toner printer has a USB 2.0 standard connectivity option available. The compact form factor of the machine provides it with a dimension measuring 399 mm (width) x 453 mm (depth) x 254 mm (height). Since it’s small and lightweight (17.6 kg), it can be placed in just about any available space and uses HP replacement toners. Operation is a breeze; less fumbling over the controls or changing bulk toner, enables everyday tasks to be finished faster. Other than the affordable price tag, money-saving advantage also extends to everyday use as it meets Energy Star requirements.
