HP as the world's smallest color laser printer at its introduction, the LaserJet Pro CP1025 is certainly impressively small. But don't assume that compromises have been made to achieve its compact size, as it still provides the same fast speeds, excellent print quality, and reliability one would expect from an HP laser printer.
Certainly, many HP printer parts had to be reduced in size to achieve the compact design of the CP1025. It measures 15.7 inches by 8.8 inches by 15.7 inches and weighs only 29.4 pounds. The HP printer belts and rollers are somewhat smaller than most laser models, but this doesn't seem to affect the unit's speed, as it can print up to 17 pages per minute for black and up to 4 pages per minute color. As with most of their models, the high quality HP printer fusersprovide a fast warm up time as well, letting you get to work quickly.
One of the best features of the CP1025 is its wireless networking support. It not only supports 802.11b and 802.11g protocols, but also the newer 802.11n, for even faster transfer speeds. The printer can connect to an existing wireless network, or it can even act as a hub to which other devices can connect directly. Multiple operating systems are supported, including Windows, Mac OS X, and even many distributions of Linux.
The unit can hold up to 150 sheets in its single tray, which should be enough for the home or small office. Users can keep the printer running more smoothly with the use of HP printer maintenance kits, available from many online retailers.
For the home user or small office user who needs high-quality laser printing on a budget, and doesn't have much space to spare, the HP LaserJet Pro CP1025 would make an excellent choice. Its low price, wireless support, and great output quality make it a great value.
