HP Laserjet P1005: A Small Wonder
In the present world, without any speck of doubt, I can confidently say that space is money. More space one saves, that’s directly proportional to the money earned. Especially in offices, we see those gigantic, age old laser printers occupying a good portion of the cubicle and nothing is done to do away with it, while offices run cost cutting programmes.
HP might have the answer our enterprises are looking for. HP has introduced the smallest laser printer till date in Laserjet P1005. The size is equivalent to a 15.4” laptop and sits tidily on a desk, thereby occupying the minimum space possible.
The P1005 is a monochrome laser printer, and is characterized by the new redesigned spherical toner, and claims to produce crisp text and sharper images. It prints at a speed of 15ppm and the first print is out in 8 seconds. It has an integrated processor of 266Mhz and a 2Mb cache memory to speed up printing processes.
With the P1005’s small size, comes out a few limitations. The paper feed is compromised and can hold 150 pages at best, which is a big minus at offices.
It does have most of the bells and whistles that laser printers have. The P1005 is new in the market and will take time to be tested and tried in the live environment. On the outset, it looks like a great product but the real value will be out in the next few months. It costs around £65 and is dead reasonable but the cost of print is the real factor that matters.
