Hewlett Packard LaserJet 2550N Photo Printer

PROS;
• Whether its color or black & white copies, this printer does it for pennies per page.
• You can modify the printer so that you are not changing the printer cartridges or imaging drum too early. Buy the chips for the cartridges & image drum.
• Also, get the extra ram chip for the printer, it will speed it up during down loading of information for your cpu to the printer.
• The cartridges are refillable, & I got just over 2,800 copies before I needed to refill the cartridges. The image drum should last just over 6,000 copies.
• Quality of color prints is better than even some ink printers. I even printed photos on photo paper & I must admit the quality was very impressive for a laserjet. Although I would still recommend a quality ink printer if you want high quality photos.
• Set up & installation was a breeze.

CONS;
• Can be slow to download color images.
• Refilling the cartridges can be difficult & messy. Be carefully taking the cartridges apart to refill & putting them back together. If you don’t put them back together properly, or chip any of the delicate plastic & reinstall it, you could jam you printer & need to replace it just like I did once before.

Notes;
• Make sure you buy the reset chips for the cartridges & refill ink. It will save you a ton of money. The cartridges are capable of printing far beyond what the preprogrammed chips recommend. Also, get the extra ram chip available for this printer; it will speed up download times. The best thing about this printer is that it can save you a ton of money & print just pennies per page!

Great printing quality. Good price. The toners are a little expensive as well as the drum. But you can get it cheap on ebay.
