Printing speeds and impatience
Aug 17 2009, 6:49 PM EDT
They say, “Good things come to those who wait.” But who wants to wait a long time for pages to print? Like most people, I get impatient waiting for my print job to finish -- especially when I’m on a deadline. It turns out the small business owners in our Challenge feel the same way.This week the Officejet Pro Challenge participants talked about their experiences with print speed, whether the new Officejet is faster than their old printer, and how that affects their business. As an HP employee involved with launching these printers, I can tell you the HP Officejet 8500 Wireless was designed like a sports car to deliver the fastest speeds among our business inkjet printers, while delivering professional quality color or black pages. The Officejet Pro is a zippy choice with equivalent color print speeds to lasers – or even faster. In normal default mode, this Officejet Pro prints professional-quality output at up to 15 pages per minute black or up to 11 ppm color. (For details, see www.hp.com/go/inkjetprinter.) In comparison, the Samsung CLX-3175FN and CLX-2160N laser devices, print color much slower rate, at up to 4 ppm in normal mode. No fuser, no problem! If you’re impatient like me, you’ll be pleased this Officejet Pro can deliver the first-page-out as quickly as 15 seconds for black or color. Typical non-HP laser printers require a warm-up period to heat the fuser – taking extra time before they start printing. According to a test by Buyer’s Lab Inc, the Officejet Pro 8500 had a faster average first-page-out time of 17.52 seconds compared to the slower 28.12 seconds for the Samsung CLX-3175-FN. http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press_kits/2009/HPSMBEvent/BLI-HP-OJ-6500.pdf Regards, Bret Do you find this valuable? |
