Page 1 of 4 Introduction If you're in the market for a low cost full color laser printer then you'll want to take a good long look at the Color LaserJet 2550L from Hewlett Packard. The HP 2550L is part of a new breed of low cost color laser printers that is making it easier to move up from inkjet printers. One of the advantages of using a color laser printer over an inkjet is the HP 2550L color laser printer can created really high quality images on plain white paper. An inkjet printer requires special paper that can cost over $1 a sheet. Even though the 2550L resolution of 600 x 600 which is lower than most inkjets or HP's higher end color laser printers the quality is still excellent thanks to the HP ImageREt 2400 technology print engine. The HP Color LaserJet 2550L is ideally suited for home office and small office use. At 18.98" x 17.8" x 12.8" the 2550L is extremely compact for a full color laser. Print speed is 20 page per minute for black and 4 page per minute for color. Monthly print volume is recommended at 30,000. This should be more than enough for most home and small office users. Where to buy it?  Price wise, the HP Color LaserJet 2550L looks like a bargain. At the time of this review the printer sell for $240.00 to $470.00. However this low price point was achieved with a few sacrifices. For one, the only connection available is through the parallel or USB port - there is no built-in networking. To share the HP 2550L will require you to go through Windows or buy an external printer server. However, at the price the Color LaserJet 2550L sells for, we're not complaining. |
