Get True-To-Life Color Print Results With HP ColorSphere Toner Technology

Who wouldn't want a printout with such quality that almost brings life to a printed image on a page? Do you want detailed and vibrant colors that surely impress the crowd or perhaps your customers if you’re running a printing business? There’s actually a solution for these dilemmas, and some have already found it, while you’re still settling for some typical quality results.

If you think inkjet printers are the only ones capable of satisfying color and image printing, then that’s probably a long time ago. Laser type machines are now capable of competing with inkjets at such fair level. But how is this possible you may ask. Through the enhanced technology applied to transform toner particles into something more innovative, they were able to develop a breakthrough.

The company behind this technology is none other than Hewlett-Packard. A much superior level of color laser printing emerged from the result of more than 20 years of research and development. This holy grail is now commonly referred to as HP ColorSphere Toner and has been widely used by the company into their laser printing equipment.

According to the manufacturer:

HP ColorSphere toner has been specifically designed to deliver a 22% wider color range and up to 40% higher gloss. Printouts will have the qualities such as vivid colors, razor sharp text and images, and faster printing speed.

Compared to their previous HP laser toner products, the particles of these ColorSphere toners were improved to achieve a more consistent size and shape. The melting and fusing processes which both take place during the printing cycle are enhanced as well. Unfortunately, we don’t have the right materials here to perform a test to prove such information. However, we can give you examples of printer models that use supplies with ColorSphere technology like the HP CP2025 color toner cartridges for HP CP2025 series.

If you want to know more about this innovation, you may visit HP’sColorSphere toner page to get more in-depth information about it. We just partly give you insights about this great breakthrough to let you know that there’s an option for you to definitely get that true-to-life results you've always wanted. Are you going to use it for business, personal or photography, it’s certainly up to you. Besides, it’s considered an investment that really pays off.

Steps and Instructions on How to Replace Cartridges of an HP LaserJet Printer

If you have trouble replacing your printer’s consumables particularly those who are using laserjet from Hewlett-Packard, well then let us help you out. This post provides general steps and instructions on how to replace cartridges of an HP LaserJet printer. Please be reminded that the model of unit you’re using might be different from the others, albeit the steps are basically the same.

Let’s get started, see the list of instructions below:

Step 1. 

To access the supply particularly the cartridge inside the printer, first you have to open the front door (also referred to as front cover) of your unit. Some other models especially the old ones have their cover on top and not in the front, if that’s the case you simply lift it up to open.

Step 2.

The next step is to remove the cartridge that you need to replace. For monochrome (black&white) units the job is pretty much easier since there’s only one item to pull out. While color units on the other hand, have at least four cartridges but it’s not a bid deal though. Refer on the product’s manual to know the proper way of handling supplies since it’s not as easy as grabbing it anywhere you want.

Step 3.

Once you pull out the used cartridge inside the printer, the third step is to prepare the replacements you purchased. Such products typically come in boxes and plastic packaging. Peel off the label, tapes and seals around the cartridge, also there’s a tab that you need to pull to unlock the item.

Step 4.

To make it fully ready, hold the cartridge at each end and gently rock it side to side until you feel the toners inside the tank are evenly distributed. Just play with it for a half a minute or so, but we don’t mean use it as a toy. You can shake it in a circular motion or whatsoever as long as the lumps inside if there’s any are totally loosen.

Step 5.

For the last step, insert the replacement into its proper slot inside the printer where you removed the empty cartridge a while ago. Make sure you lock it in place – a click sound can be your hint. Then you may now close the cover and perhaps restarting the printer after it recognizes the newly installed cartridge would end the process.

To those who are used to a different way or probably were able to develop their own personal method on how to replace toner cartridges, how about you share it to us through your comments below. We would be glad to learn more ways and see which is more befitting to our choice.

The Best Wide Format Printers That Are Also Good for Standard Paper Size Printing

Long before wide-format printers emerged in the print industry, there were basically two commonly known kinds of machine used for printing – compact and large. One thing is common between these two, and that is the print functionality, regardless if its monochrome or color, multifunction or not.

Traditional large-scale printing is covered by separate machines that are mainly intended to produce such materials or as what we called them as tabloid media. Over-sized sheets like for example an 11x17-inch paper or posters, were not supported by conventional printers before. If you are familiar with plotters, they’re basically printers as well, albeit they are made only for wide sizes. But nowadays, these large or outsize media can now also fit on tabloid printers that are capable of either wide-format or compact printing.

If you have this occasional need to print tabloid or poster-sized documents such as 11x17-inch or 24x36-inch, these models can do it right for you. We’ve picked two models from three different manufacturers in case you have preferences.

• Brother MFC-J6920DW

• Brother MFC-J4510DW

• Epson WorkForce WF-7520

• Epson Expression Photo XP-950 AIO

• HP Officejet 7610 Wide-Format eAIO

• HP Laserjet Pro 700 M712DN

Those two Brother printers are inkjets with multi-functionality, and capable of single-sheet 11x17-inch media printing. Epson’s photo printers particularly the ones from Expression series are known for the quality of prints they can produce. Although you better ready your wallet for some high-priced ink cartridges. HP in the competition was able to give a multifunction inkjet and mono laserjet which are both capable of printing tabloid-size documents.

If you’re not after the quality of output, you can spare the inkjet units and consider the only laser one from HP. However, its snag is that it can only provide monochrome prints. It’s kind of disappointing but come to think of it, black-and-white poster isn’t that bad at all. Plus, you will only have to replace one cartridge (M172DN uses HP CF214A toner), unlike those inkjet especially the Epson Photo XP-950 that requires six ink cartridges, and yes you read it right.

Cost-per-page is a factor you should consider when looking for a tabloid printer since the percent of coverage it takes to cover a wide sheet of media is far too different from letter and legal-sized sheets.

Collectively, these printers are referred to as wide-format and come along with big expenses not unless it is just for occasional needs. Since the ones we provided from the list above are also capable of multifunctionality and small-sized printing, purchasing one will make a good investment.

HP LaserJet M125 and M127 Compact MFP Printers Geared with Mobility

From the last quarter of 2013, HP rolls out new printers and MFP that support mobile printing. Last year was quite definite that wireless printers were dominating the industry, with back to back releases of new models with such feature. These machines that facilitate mobility in terms of cloud-based and wireless technology were developed to provide more efficient and effective printing system.

Printer models such as the HP LaserJet Pro MFP M125 and M127 series are geared to support HP’s latest 1200W Mobile Print Accessory and HP JetDirect 2800W. You might have heard of NFC technology (Near Field Technology) which probably you’re pretty much aware since Samsung made a buzz about it by equipping their latest machines with such feature.

Actually, just recently in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, Samsung Electronics unveiled their first NFC-enabled printer for their Malaysian consumers. The launch targets SOHO entrepreneurs (small office home office) environments as well as small-medium enterprises.

Back to HP, the M125 and M127 monochrome laser printer series were marketed as HP’s smallest sized multifunction printers according to the manufacturer. Jamming in all four functions such as print, scan, copy and fax in a single unit with such compact built, although the M127 is the only one that supports faxing features. They say it also features a 3-inch color touch-screen display but upon checking some pictures over the net, it wasn’t actually what we have expected. But nonetheless it is note-worthy to mention.

Manufacturer’s product details and description for M125 and M127 printers:

• Features Wireless Direct, HP ePrint and AirPrint 

• Cloud-based scanning from and to, directly from mobile devices 

• A printer that only measures 1.65-feet, it wouldn’t take that much space. 

• Come built-in with Ethernet and wireless (WiFi) interfaces. 

• Panel that features 3-inch color touchscreen display 

• Features Auto On/Off and Eco Smart Technology. 

If you’re interested about these printers, pricing ranges between $149 and $259, not a bad investment considering their set of features and capabilities. The MFP M125 and M127 are rated with an engine speed of 21 pages per minute and can hold limited media up to a maximum of 150 sheets. Well low capacity is quite considerable for compact size units.

You should take note that only the M127 series is capable of faxing, while the M125 can work as a printer, copier and scanner. For supplies and accessories, you may check HP’s product page and see the appropriate replacements for these two printers such as HP CF283A toner cartridge (standard-yield) or the HP CF283X toner (high-yield).

Which One’s Better: HP CF280A Low-Yield and HP CF280X High-Yield Toner Cartridge

Most users don’t know exactly about the benefits of using high-capacity replacements over the ones with only standard capacities. The thing is there’s actually one note worthy amongst many of its advantages. But that’s not what we’re going to deal with here as this post will serve as your guide to determine whether it would be best for your office to use the HP CF280A or the HP CF280X.

First, both of these replacements support the same series or models of HP LaserJet Pro printers. Why? Because they are basically the same, but differ technically in their specifications, but just quite a bit. The low-yield toner is the HP CF280A (80A) while the high-yield is the HP CF280X (80X). Now, we mentioned these two are exactly similar and to prove it we provided brief details about them, see below:

Model Number	Type	Color	Supported Printers	Page-Yield
HP CF280A	Laser Toner	Black	Pro 400 M401-M425	2500
HP CF280X	Laser Toner	Black	Pro 400 M401-M425	6900

See that their only difference is the amount of printed pages it can deliver or possibly produce. So with that information, literally you can come up with a thought that the latter should be used generally for large-volume printing. However, it is not always the main case that you should consider. Yes, high-yield cartridges are basically designed for large-sized offices with greater demands of printing. But, it doesn’t mean that it can’t be used as well for low-volume.

What you might have been thinking is that, why would you use a cartridge with high-capacity when you’re only using the printer like twice or three times a week. Well then try to realize the point here, see the price of HP CF280A and compare it to HP CF280X’s price. Now if you have consumed the 80A of course you will have to spend again the same expense. While if you have bought the 80X instead, you spend less, you get more, no constant replacing, and most of all you get lower costs-per-page (If you don’t know how to calculate cost-per-page there are resources online to help you with that).

These two replacements contained specially engineered toner particles to be able to produce great print results that please consumers. According to Staples, you can actually save up to 32% cost when you buy the HP CF280X instead of the standard cartridge. But of course you if you prefer using the other one, there’s no problem with that as long your printing demands aren’t consider high-volumes.

Three Configurations of HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401 Series

The HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401 series comes in three configurations which include a networked-ready, duplex with network, and duplex with Wi-Fi. All the features from the base printer, may it be good or bad are jammed in all the other models including their unique extra feature. Maybe we could skip the basic features and proceed with the note worthy instead.

HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401N – Network Printing

Let’s start with the M401N which literally by rank it’s the second configuration. What’s added in this model is a built-in Ethernet interface for network printing functionality. Its print speed is the same at 35 pages per minute, and offers similar resolution. None of these three models are made to handle extra paper capacity, so in short whatever you will get from this one is basically the same with the other models. A standard 250-sheet tray supplemented by a 50-sheet multipurpose tray makes up the whole media handling capacity. But if you still need more, luckily they provided a secondary tray which can hold at least 500-sheets of letter and legal sizes.

HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401DN – Duplex Printing

Now the third configuration would be the HP M401DN. Compared to the one we discussed first, their only difference is the added duplexing functionality. Normally, offices that need a printer with features which can lessen their expenses would find this model a nice pick. While businesses on the other hand, producing double-sided printed materials would be a lot easier if they can have the M401DN. Its paper capacity is again similar with all the other configurations, including the extra tray.

HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401DW - Wireless Printing

Lastly, we have the HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401DW which is pretty obvious that it comes with Wi-Fi or wireless feature. Mobile printing is its perfect playground, and if you haven’t tried such functionality getting this printer is a good start. You can download or rather use HP’s very own ePrint app, or for those who are using Mac and Apple products, you can use AirPrint instead. There are numerous applications you can use for mobile printing, but not all of them could offer almost everything you need, not to mention their user-friendliness. Additionally, a Wi-Fi interface makes a printer versatile in terms of printing option, such that it can either work directly or over a network.

Bottom Line

These three units, including the base model shared the same set of features and components, as well as consumable supplies which include the HP CF280X toner cartridge (black). Are they all monochrome printers? Yes. Would they be a good choice for my busy office? Yes, indeed.

Instructions on How to Cold Reset Your HP 3800 Color Laser Printer

Cold Reset is a technical term used by many users when resetting their printers back to its factory default settings. It is a useful way to refresh your unit especially if you have configured it several times and you feel like there’s something wrong with it. Perhaps it needs to be reset in order to get it back in good shape and fix any incorrect settings you made.

For printer models with network support, it is a helpful solution if you want to refresh the printer’s IP address and network settings if anything went wrong. Just take note that all the custom settings you made and configured with the unit will be erased. Thus, if the printer you’re using has a JetDirect card, it is recommended to remove it from its slot to avoid getting affected by the resetting process.

To perform Cold Reset with HP 3800 Color Laser Printer, use the instructions below as your guide and make you follow it step by step. This can also be applied with other supported HP printer series which include Color LaserJet 3000 and 3600 configurations. We suggest that you also remove the HP 3800 toner cartridges and other supplies inside the machine temporarily. You will have to install it again once the resetting process is through.

Note: If you want to keep a reference of your printer’s current settings before performing cold reset, then print a configuration page as a document with the unit’s previous settings prior to resetting it.

If the machine is already On, turn it Off and then back On. You have to watch carefully the unit’s control panel particularly on the display.

Ready your finger and position it on top of the Green button located at the right side of the screen. Once you noticed that the memory starts counting, hold the button until the LED indicators start flashing and become stable.

Release the green button, the screen at the center of the panel should display a message something like “Select Language”.

Use the directional keys (up and down), press the down arrow and the screen should display a message like this “Cold Reset”.

Select the option by pressing the Green button and in a minute that printer will initiate the cold resetting process and will continue power-on-sequence.

Albeit it doesn’t always happen, by random chances, some printers experience print quality issues with their machine right after the cold reset. Simply perform a calibration to fix it.

Broken and Thin Lines on Printed Page with HP LaserJet CP1515N

Streaks, lines and dots are some common print quality problems that anyone may experience with a laser printer, particularly the ones that came from HP. Regardless of the brand or name of your printers, there’s absolutely a hundred percent probability that you’ll have to encounter one of these issues.

You see, there are printer problems that may look similar yet they’re not and the ones aforementioned are good examples. They are related with each other such that print quality is affected however, the approach to resolve such issues may differ from one problem to another. Sometimes a component just malfunction which results to producing printouts with white lines and blotches. While there are also instances when the cartridges are simply running out of supply, hence you get faded prints.

Another print quality issue that you may possibly encounter as well, particularly with HP LaserJet CP1515N MFP printer, is getting broken and thin lines on the trailing edge of the printed sheet. Of course you may also take into consideration the status of the HP 1515 toner cartridges being used during printing. But this problem is more often caused by incorrect printing preferences setting. The PCL 6 print driver has also something to do with this.

This problem can be resolved easily with the right instructions, just follow the steps provided below:

Before you start make sure the unit is already on its ready state. Now work on your desktop by clicking the Start button, followed by choosing Printers and Faxes (this only applies for PC running Windows XP OS). For PC running Vista OS, find the Printers folder from the Control Panel.

Choose your printer model by doing a right click with your mouse on its icon then choose Printing Preferences from the list.

A new window should appear and from there find the Advanced tab which is basically the first one among the other tabs. There should be three options to expand from that window. Show the list under Document Options by clicking the + sign, then followed by expanding the list under Printer Features.

From the drop down list next to Print Data Optimization choose Optimize for Text and Vector.

Now you’re all set, hit Apply button to save your changes, then click OK.

Run a test print, or maybe you can try printing the same document on an A4-sheet to see if the problem was resolved. If it did work, please let us know so other users could also try it with their machine in case they might experience the same problem.

HP 4730 Toner Cartridges Doesn't Seem to Last Long Enough?

As a customer who regularly purchases printer supplies such as replacement toner cartridges, ink cartridges, drums, and all, we deserve to have exactly what we paid for. We may not often give importance to the specifications stated from the packaging of products we purchased, that doesn’t mean we could be tricked. Seriously it should be the other way around – just kidding.

There are several ways from which we can intentionally stretch the limits of our printer’s consumables particularly the toners and inks. If you remember we already featured a few that will help you squeeze out some more prints out a nearly dead cartridge. Yes, nearly dead because basically soon enough you will have to replace it with a new one whether you like it or not.

With our chosen printer model, the HP LaserJet 4730 which comes in four configurations, the method we will provide in here may also work with other HP laser models. Just take note that these tricks won’t save you from buying replacements, because at the end of the day you will have no choice but to get new ones.

Remove and Shake

If the printed results are showing less satisfying qualities like lighter colors, dim hues and gray tones, it’s a sign the HP 4730 toners inside the unit are running low of toner supplies. Based on the title itself, what you will basically do is remove the cartridges out of the unit and give it a gentle-to-hard shake. This will make the toner particles that might build inside the tank to loosen a bit, thus you get more prints.

Black Tape Trick

It’s a very known method, thanks mainly to a concern user who shared his technique to us, hence we can now fight back with that low-toner error message. The trick involves placing a black tape to cover the memory chip sensor from the cartridge with the intent to block the memory tag installed inside the printer from reading the chip. Hence, it is commonly referred to as a bypass method which literally does what it is intended for.

Reduce and Save

So it’s not just about playing with the cartridges to stretch its limit. There’s a simple way to help you save supplies and that is simple by using Draft mode printing and reducing the output resolution of the printer. Do you regularly need the color cartridges, or you can actually use the black one instead? If yes, enable draft-mode and see how efficient it is for you and your printer.

Basic Printer Resetting Procedure for HP Color LaserJet Pro 200 M251NW

First of all, why do you have to reset a printer? Generally, resetting your machine essentially helps improve the printing processes through refreshing it. Plus, more importantly it aids on resolving print errors and issues that users typically encounter when printing, copying or scanning. Although it is not emphasized that it can solve most of problems especially the critical ones. There are proper procedures that should be implemented for certain errors, hence not covered by simply resetting your unit.

What are the errors that it can resolve?

There are instances that after using the printer, the user can’t force the unit to turn off. While copying or scanning through the buttons on the control panel, the unit doesn’t respond to any actions. User is unable to clear the error message or warning even after performing troubleshooting procedures. Unrecognized HP 131A toner cartridges print error (although most of the time it is a cartridge related issue and not a machine fault).

Is there a risk when performing printer reset?

As far as our knowledge, there are no risks unless you executed the process properly. Furthermore, the chance to cause the printer to become damaged is absolutely minimal.

Instructions on resetting your printer are provided below:

• If the unit is currently on its operating state proceed on the next step, otherwise turn it ON through the power button.
• Let it on for at least one minute and then disconnect its power cable found at the back of the unit.
• For your safety, remove the cable as well from its source outlet and let it rest for more than 20 seconds.
• Reconnect the power cable on its port from the back afterwards.
• Then plug it back into the source outlet (don’t press any key on its control panel even the power button).
• Wait if the printer turns itself on and if not then press the power button and see if your concern has been resolved.

Important Reminder: The procedures provided above may or may not work with all HP printer models except for HP Color LaserJet Pro 200 M251NW. However, you can still use it as your guide or reference to reset your unit as long as it manufactured by HP and is a laser type.

Factors That Printer Users Must Know About Cartridges

Cartridges, as many often see them as replacement consumables that can be thrown away anytime. These printer supplies should also be given some importance. Since printing devices won’t work without installing cartridges, perhaps they should also deserve the spot light.

Not all of us would be concerned of the specs of a cartridge, which is very common. They will just buy whichever their printer needs without checking a few things that should actually be checked. I bet most of them are not even aware of the page-yield of the replacements they regularly purchased. As a printer user, aside from the unit itself, you should also know a few things about the consumable items it requires.

Some high-end printer models from Hewlett-Packard can produce absolutely fine results. This is simply because these units are equipped with cartridges that are built through HP ColorSphere technology. An example maybe is the HP Color LaserJet 3600 toner cartridge that comes in four basic colors. The set includes one each of black, cyan, yellow and magenta, and is commonly referred to as HP 501A toner cartridges.

Haven’t heard of ColorSphere toners? Seriously, we’re not surprise, and bet you also don’t know the approximate page-yield of the cartridges you’re using with your printer. I think it’s a common human mistake that we tend to neglect and ignore such small details in everything we do.

To help you further, let’s use the above cartridge model example to explain the factors that you must know when buying replacement consumables for your printer.

The most important factor is the page-yield. As shortly mentioned above, it indicates the approximate amount of printouts or pages that a certain cartridge is capable of producing. It is dependent to the work load, how often, and how much you print on a regular basis. If you’re just a personal printer user, standard yield cartridges will do. But for offices and business, high-yields are the best choice.

Shelf life or expiry date is always ignored, and that’s not good. What if because of your negligence you haven’t noticed that the item you purchased was about to expire in 2 days? By the moment you will need to use the item, it could have been expired already. Waste of money, waste of time, and worse your prints are delayed.

Environmental specifications are also to be considered especially if you’re purchasing stocks and will just keep it for a few days in a stock room. Our example above can be stored in a room temperature between -4 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit. While it’s operating temperature is in between 50 to 81 degrees Fahrenheit.

5. What does it contain and how does it look like?

Credit : HP Troubleshooting

The image above is an example of how the printed page should look like. You should see information for each color cartridges mainly black, cyan, magenta and yellow. Included data are as follows:

• Cartridge Color
• Order/Part Number
• Percent of remaining toners
• Approximate number of pages that each can still print
• Serial Number
• Number of printouts produced by each cartridge

Through this information, you can possibly anticipate when to prepare and get some replacements ready. At least you won’t get surprised by the time any of the cartridges run out of supplies. Plus it’s really helpful to give you enough time to buy new stocks in case you don’t keep spares.

Remember that the Supply status page can be used as a reference on monitoring your printer’s replaceable supplies status. You don’t need to replace a cartridge with very low toner level, unless the unit gives you a warning message that is similar to Toner Empty error.

HP LaserJet Pro 200 color M251nw Color Laser Printer

Hewlett-Packard included a new laser printer on its wide range of product equipments, the HP LaserJet Pro 200 color M251nw which leans towards high-quality text and graphics, boasted with noticeable print speed, wireless connectivity and Ethernet support. It can serve as a personal printer or a shared printer, either way it delivers a decent performance and works effectively in both situation. Although one might notice that it's a bit large to share a space on your desk, and comes with a minimum paper handling capacity which may or may not possibly cope up as a shared printer in the office.

The HP LaserJet Pro 200 color M251nw color laser printer offers a boosted print speed and a highly noted printout quality which makes this printer a good choice. Featuring an intuitive touch screen LCD control panel which also allows previewing of files and images. Aside from the printer's Wi-Fi and Ethernet support, it also offers a USB port as additional connectivity with the ability to print directly from a USB key. Through HP's wireless printing application, HP Wi-Fi Direct, users can be able to print directly from their smartphones, tablets and laptops, while for iOS devices, the M251nw supports Apple AirPrint app and some sort of cloud printing applications. 

When it comes to paper handling capacity, the HP LaserJet Pro 200 color M251nw is somehow incompetent, offering a 150-sheet input tray, with no Duplex (double sided) printing feature which count as another constraint. As a shared printer, it might work sufficiently for light duty printing, while as a personal printer, its paper handling capacity can be well enough. Considering the printer's dimension, (H W D) 10.4x15.9x17.8 inches, again it might take much space when placed on a desk.

The M251nw comes with a rated print speed of up to 14 ppm (pages per minute) for both mono and color standard printing. Printout quality, particularly the text output is highly excellent, suitable for printing both business and common types of files and documents. In terms of graphic printouts, the quality shoots a match for most latest color printers.

It has a duty cycle about 30,000 pages per month, large enough probably for an office printer. Also, it has a quoted cost-per-page of 3.5 cents (mono) and 17.5 cents (color), making it a reasonable printer to try, considering the price range of HP's laser toner cartridges and other printer consumable products. Regardless of the printer's lack of minimal features, it still offers a lot which makes it more convenient particularly for light business printing needs.

HP TopShot LaserJet Pro M275 AIO Printer

HP TopShot LaserJet Pro M275 AIO Printer

Before we get into much details about the latest printers for this year, let's have at least a recap of last year's best selling laser printers. Previously we featured HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401D, one of the best selling AIO laser printer last year, made by Hewlett-Packard the tech giant in the printing industry. Aside from the M401 series, a lot of laser printers from different manufacturers were out in the market last year, and only a few of these machines were chosen as the best laser printers by most printer reviewing sites.

One of which is the HP TopShot LaserJet Pro M275, this printer has a highlighted features of 3D capabilities and more connectivity options ample enough for every user. With the term '3D', it doesn't exactly mean that this printer can produce three-dimensional objects. What it literally do is to create a 3D image of the object that a user will place on the white podium on top of the printer. How is this made possible? By inspecting the design of the printer you'll notice a frame like object onto the top which has a built-in camera that a user can adjust or manoeuvre. Once an object is place onto the white podium, the printer will take about 6 camera shots, thus creating a three-dimensional image of the object. From a height of 50mm below, the output tends is supposed to be perfect, while a height that exceeds 150mm causes a bit of a problem with the output. 

Aside from its capability to produce 3D image, it can also serve as a conventional scanner and copier of 2D files. If you're done using the camera frame, you can fold it down and remove the podium turning the printer into a compact machine. The HP TopShot LaserJet Pro M275 supports a 150 sheet input tray and an output tray that can hold a maximum of 50 sheets of paper. 

In terms of connectivity options the M275 is built with a 10/100 Ethernet, USB 2.0 connections, plus Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n that allows the user to directly access the web through the printer. It also comes with a graphical LCD touchscreen display from which the printer's features and apps like Apple AirPrint that lets you print wirelessly from your iOS devices. The LaserJet Pro M275 has a quoted print speed of 17 ppm (monochrome) and 4 ppm (colour), with a considerable monthly duty cycle of 20000 pages. It uses 4 laser toner cartridges (Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) from HP's printer consumable products.

HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401DW

One of the best-selling laser printer from last year 2012 was the HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401DW. A laser type printer that's specifically built for small businesses and offices for that fast yet affordable printer equipment. According to Hewlett-Packard, HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401DW was their best-selling laser printer from last year. Having said that, it wouldn't be surprising to see a few businesses as well as offices that owns a LaserJet Pro 400 from HP. 

In the range of M401 series there are four models available which roughly cost about £341.00 for the most expensive model which features automatic duplexing for double-sided printing, GigaBit Ethernet and 802.11n WiFi for connectivity options, plus a 3.5'' intuitive touch-sensitive screen display. Plus it supports wireless printing through Apple AirPrint app for iOS devices. Well if the price is too much to consider and you don't even need all the highlighted features, then you can opt for the cheapest model that cost about £215. Less price means less features, duplex printing is deducted and provides a USB-only option. 

Regardless of the features, all printer models in the M401 range have the same specifications as follows : 1200 x 1200 dpi (dots per inch) print resolution, print speed, and a 250-sheet paper tray that serves as the main tray. Whatever features or specs you need from a laser printer, the M401 series has the perfect laser printer for all your printing needs.

The HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401DW is a single-function printer, no scanning, copying and fax sending features. That would be the only constraint you'll find from this range, and if you're looking for a multifunction printer HP has a lot of MFP printers to offer as well. But if you prefer a really fast single-function printer, HP quoted the LaserJet Pro 400 M401DW with a print speed of about 33 ppm (pages per minute), that's even faster than most inkjet and laser printers that were available in the market last year. 

Since it's built for small type businesses, a monthly duty cycle of up to 3000 pages might be decent enough for their printing requirement. As for the M401's printer consumables, it uses HP laser toner cartridges with a standard page-yield of 2700 pages, while you can get about 6800 pages for the high-yield replacement toner cartridges.
