Performance is more than engine speed, and when you are shopping for desktop and workgroup printers, productivity is key. See how HP printers provide faster real world performance across a variety of functions including first page out from powersave mode, processing time, and return to application times so your employees can spend less time waiting on a printer and more time working.
HP internal testing shows that the 15-ppm HP LaserJet 1012 (14-ppm A4) can warm up from powersave mode and finish print jobs anywhere from 1 to 57 pages faster than the 17-ppm Samsung ML-1710 (16-ppm A4).
Processing
In HP internal testing, HP Color LaserJet printers yielded significantly faster actual performance — even compared to competing devices with higher engine print-speed specs — due to specially developed ASICs that serve as parallel processors.
•
Fast data input from the network due to a well-written protocol stack plus direct memory access.
•
Efficient firmware based on our experience in maximizing use of all processing resources and a dedication to continuous improvement.
•
An Innovative bus network. While competing devices employ only one bus, HP LaserJet printers utilize a unique network of buses to reduce contention in bottleneck areas.
•
Parallel processors. Custom-designed HP ASICs offload the main processor in HP Color LaserJet printers by performing repeated tasks on large blocks of data such a color-space conversion, compression, and decompression, and efficiently perform extra processing needed for HP-exclusive print-quality enhancements like trapping and adaptive halftoning.
This graph demonstrates how the Samsung ML-7300N and ML-3500N compares to the HP LaserJet 4200 in processing power based on published specs.
Return to application (RTA) times
HP's swift return to application times improve productivity.
In our HP internal testing, HP's LaserJet 1012 print-driver return-to-application (RTA) times were more than 8 times faster than those of the Samsung ML-1710 on some files, as these graphs show.
