HP LaserJet 4050n
I initially thought the HP LaserJet 4050n as a bit of overkill for my small workgroup of four people, but I wouldnt change it for the world. It was on sale and I knew Hewlett Packard were a good brand so I bought it on a whim.
Im glad I did, its capable, reliable, produces good prints and hasnt let me down since owning it, which has been a while. We print mainly draft documents for outsourced proofreaders so quality isnt our primary concern. However, even if it was, the 4050n would still deliver. The print quality is really good. The text documents we print even in normal mode is good, with straight lines, black being blacks and no smudging or anything in the white space. Pictures are almost as good, when we have to print a photograph or something the print comes out very detailed. It is a black and white printer, but it translates the colors into those shades of gray really well. It makes sense when you see the original and also stands on its own two feet if you dont.
The 4050n is also easy to look after. There is a flap at the top which you put the cartridges in, and it also lets you see the whole path the paper takes. So on the few occasions we get a jam, its really easy to free it up. Considering the amount we print, thats really handy! Talking of cartridges, they are very easy to replace too, simply clipping into place. A normal one will last for around 10000 pages, whereas the high yield one can last 15000.
We have this networked and use the printer server to work from. That means we can do everything from the desktop and dont have to all hover over it while were working. The software is intuitive and easy to work with. The menu structure is simple and easy to follow. As is the menu on the little control panel on the printer itself. Three LED indicators show the status, the activity and any errors. The buttons on the right let you navigate the menu.
The HP LaserJet 4050n is a great printer, especially for someone like us who print a lot. Its black and white and not color, but we didnt need a color one. Its reliable, reasonably quiet, economical to maintain and easy to manage. What more can I say?
