HP LaserJet 2100
I have used the HP LaserJet 2100 to print out student assignments for a little over four years and it’s still going strong. It was initially a little overpowered for my needs, which is predominantly text essays with the occasional graphic, but it bore the HP brand, which I value for their quality.
It isn’t the most subtle device, it’s quite large and can get noisy if given a large print run to handle. Apart from that it’s no problem whatsoever to live with and maintain. While it is network capable, I have it directly connected to my computer and don’t share it, so I can’t comment on the network capabilities. The main benefit, apart from decent performance is that it warms up from standby almost instantly and the cartridges are those all in one sorts that negates the need for me to purchase drums as well as toner.
Print speed I understand is average at around 10 pages per minute. It slows down a bit when it has to deal with images, to about 8 if I were to hazard a guess. That’s perfectly fine for me, as it’s the quality I’m most interested in. I need good quality prints so I can read them properly. My students have to type their assignments in order for me to mark them effectively so the least I can do is print them legibly.
The print quality of the HP 2100 is very good for text. Each letter coming out details and definite whatever the size. Like I said, I can’t comment on photo printing because I don’t really do it, but text is good.
The construction is solid, the paper trays seem flexible but strong and the control panel is refreshingly simple. It comprises of three buttons and three LEDs, which is ideal for me. I don’t want complicated panels and screens and all that.
The HP LaserJet 2100 is a solid, dependable printer that hasn’t let me down in years. Apart from the odd paper jam, this thing has worked week in-week out since I bought it. I can thoroughly recommend this printer, and HP products in general.
