Print quality is more than dots per inch (DPI), and performance is more than print speed. HP printing innovations and technologies give office users superior print quality and total print time.
Best print quality is always the default mode on HP Color LaserJet printers, so users can quickly and easily get the best possible output. HP Color LaserJet printers also combine advanced control over dot size and placement with trapping and sharpening technologies to deliver high print quality automatically. Compare these enlargements of 12.5-point text and note how the print quality produced by the HP Color LaserJet 2550 in default mode compares to that produced by the Okidata C3100 in best print quality mode.
Reduce streaking and banding with HP technology
Compare the scanned output from HP internal testing of a page printed with 25% grey coverage by an HP Color LaserJet 3500 and the Okidata C5200 series printer to see the effects LED technology has on solid color output. HP Color LaserJet printers use laser imaging technology; a single laser images each drum, ensuring greater uniformity in solid fill areas on printed output. Streaking is caused by inconsistencies in LED brightness.
Get faster output with HP
Instant-on fusing technology drastically reduces warm-up time and helps HP Color LaserJet printers output shorter print jobs faster, a distinct advantage when you consider that two-thirds of all office documents are three pages or less. HP internal testing shows that the HP Color LaserJet printers can warm up faster from powersave mode than comparable Okidata printers, as this graph illustrates.*
