A business owner would best rely on a black and white laser printer to print all his professional and business advertisements, brochures, flyers, product labels, information sheets, and documents for his clients. If you're a business owner and you want to get a reliable laser printing device for your professional use, the HP P2035 LaserJet printer is one of the best choices. This review will cover everything you need to know about the product.
Design
This is a very plain and simple printing device. It has a plain white body with no added frills or extra parts, minimal buttons, no LCD display, and an acceptably compact size. It's not as big as other laser printers that eat up a lot of space in the living room or printing room. It's perfect for both home and office use because it's small enough to be placed on a tabletop or desktop, and it's also wired network-capable so you can share it with several other computers within the same network.
The device has no additional connectivity options - only an Ethernet port for network connectivity and a USB port for fast PC-to-printer processing. If you're looking for a wireless printer or one which you can print on without using a PC, this is not the model for you.
The device has the dimensions of 14.4'' x 14.5'' x 10.1'' and a weight of 21.8 pounds. Its white appearance makes it easy to stain and weather, but proper maintenance will always keep it looking good. This is also a black and white laser printer so you won't be able to print colored documents and images on this device.
Printing and Other Functions
Although it's monochrome, a lot of people would prefer it, mainly because some businesses only make use of black and white printouts to save money from having to buy colored ink. But this model isn't just another monochrome laser printer - it's a great printing device which has brought satisfaction to many people around the world.
Printing on this model is very easy because of its printing speed of up to 30 pages per minute or 2 seconds per page, and the first page comes out in as fast as 8 seconds from sleep or off mode. The resolution produced for all the printouts is 600x600 dpi, but with the FastRes 1200, the effective output can result to a maximum resolution of 1200 dpi. Although it does not have automatic duplex printing function, it has a manual driver support provided and you can just install it when you need it.
There are two paper trays on this model - the standard input tray with a capacity of 250 sheets, and the multipurpose tray with a capacity of 50 sheets. This only totals 300 sheets of paper, which is a relatively smaller number than other models, but is still completely satisfactory.
The maximum duty cycle of the device is 25,000, which allows you to print an average of 806 pages per day and you won't have any problems with it. However, the ink cartridge can be easily used up and it is only designed for printing 2300 pages. This is a very small number compared to the duty cycle, and because of the expensive price of the ink, it may not be advisable to overuse the printer. But if your business really needs to print a lot of readable media every day, then you have no choice but to manage the cost of ink. With the quality of prints that the device produces, the cost of ink may well be neglected.
The internal memory of the device is 16 MB, and it can no longer be upgraded. But this shouldn't be a problem since the memory is already big enough to handle several short documents or one very long and complex document that you need to print in a single setting.
Other Features
One issue of the device is its loud printing sound that's like a thump. If you're working in your own home, this may not be a good thing because the people in your household are also doing other things and the noise of the printer can be a distraction. But this does not reduce the quality of printing that the device produces. Also, the device is not Energy Star qualified which means you don't get to save energy from using it, but some people may not mind that because they are prepared to handle the costs of their businesses.
Conclusion
If you're looking for a black and white laser printer that has excellent printing speed, astonishing printing quality, wired network capability, reliable performance, and simplicity, the HP P2035 LaserJet Printer is the perfect model for you. I highly recommend this device to all the business owners who need a fantastic monochrome printer that will definitely deliver for a very affordable price.
