HP Color LaserJet CP1525nw Printer Review


Overview:
If you need a professional color printer that is kind to the environment and to your pocket, HP Color LaserJet CP1525nw is the right choice to make. It will deliver high quality images that would satisfy even the pickiest marketer who takes pride in delivering only colorful materials. The printer can be connected to the Internet and that’s why it is suitable for working environments. People can use it regardless of their location. The design looks really elegant because of its round edges in spite of its dimensions of 15.7 x 17.8 x 10 inches and 40 pounds weight.
Pros:
HP Color LaserJet CP1525nw can be connected wirelessly to the internet or through an Ethernet port, thus making it possible for employees to print from any system that has the HP ePrint software installed. It’s easy to set up the printer and once you do that, you will enjoy a wide range of tools and you can also calculate the cost per print. It comes with a built-in server that is protected by a password. You can disable or enable parts of the network as you like.  In order to optimize the speed and quality of the prints, you can pre-configure shortcuts according to your needs.
A great advantage of this printer is its ability to stretch the duty cycle from 250-1000 pages up to 30k pages. This can come in-handy for those organizations that need to print large volumes of work regularly. Apart from that, the resolution of 600x600 dpi and the HP ImageREt 3600 technology will make a difference when it comes to print clarity regardless of the printing mode (black or color). It operates at a speed of 12 letter A sized black and white pages per minute and 8 colored sheets of the same dimensions.
This model has a CPU that runs at a speed of 600 MHz and a memory of 128 MB that can easily be upgraded to 384 MB. It’s a very quiet printer because the acoustic level doesn’t surpass 48 dB so that you are not annoyed by noises. The input tray located at the bottom of the device can’t hold more than 150 pages and the output that has a middle-top position won’t carry more than 125 pages. You can print docs of sizes between 3 x 5 inches and 8.5 x 14 inches.  PCL5, PCL 6 and PostScript 3 are the only languages that this printer recognizes. Because it has a DIMM system, the memory will be modified to 25MB with 144-pin DIMMs if you decide to upgrade.
Although the resolution of the screen could be improved, the 2-line LCD with 16-character display does its job perfectly. The CPU makes it possible for the HP’s Color LaserJet CP1525nw device to print at an amazing speed of 20 pages per minute. However, this value varies depending on how complex the document is. If you are into multitasking and want an affordable device that won’t break down soon, this model is perfect for you.
Cons:
If you are working in graphic design, HP Color LaserJet CP1525nw isn’t the best choice for you because there are other printers out there with a resolution higher than 600x600 dpi. Photographers won’t like this resolution either. It consumes 295 watts but this is not a big inconvenience if you consider its capabilities. However, this model doesn’t come with built-in fax and copy features which could be useful for business users who fax documents on a regular basis.
