Small, lightweight and compact printers are becoming more common, and the HP LaserJet 1000 is a perfect example. It is a monochrome laser printer designed for personal use in the home or small office. Despite its small frame and very low price, it doesn't sacrifice on speed and quality, delivering excellent text and graphics prints from the compatible or genuine OEM
HP toner cartridges.
The HP 1000 can print at up to 10 pages per minute with a first page out time of around 15 seconds, which means less waiting for printing to begin. It also has a roomy 250-sheet input paper capacity which means less reloading paper. Print resolution is 600 dpi, but the unit includes HP's Resolution Enhancement Technology which can simulate 1200 dpi resolutions for better print quality.
The machine has a very small footprint, measuring 10 inches by 16.3 inches by 19.2 inches and weighing only 16 pounds. This makes it ideal for the small office where it can fit comfortably on a desk if necessary. It connects via USB, but does not include an ethernet port for networking. The 48 MHz processor and 1 MB of RAM might be a bit limiting for serious graphics work but should be adequate for basic printing needs. An excellent color printer to complement this unit is the
LaserJet 3500 toner printer.
No matter how inexpensive the printer, toners can be pricey. Luckily, HP 1000 toner cartridges are very affordable. Although the capacity of LaserJet 1000 toner cartridges is small, the cost per page is still reasonable, and saving money on printer toner will save money for the lifetime of the unit. Using third-party compatible LaserJet 1000 toner is an even more economical solution.
Assuming it is not too underpowered for your needs, the HP LaserJet 1000 makes an excellent choice for the home or small office. Its affordable price makes it an easy buy, and low-cost HP 1000 toner continues the savings.
