HP LaserJet 8100 Toner Cartridges

HP 8100 Printer Review

If you are looking for a workgroup printer for your office, the HP LaserJet 8100 could be a great option. Offering monochrome laser printing at an affordable price, it will easily adapt into any small office. Its size of 20.5x21.3x22.3 inches will be fairly compact and easy to place wherever needed, but its weight of 119 pounds with the HP toner will seem quite heavy and will probably need multiple people to move. Its white exterior design, however, will blend into any office easily. It connects via parallel power cord, and wireless printing is not offered. It has the ability to produce up to 150,000 pages each month.

This machine needs only one HP 8100 toner cartridge. This printer toner is black, and it can yield a large 20,000 pages. The price of the LaserJet 8100 toner cartridge is relatively affordable, and the cost per page is very low. When printing, a resolution of as high as 1200x1200 dpi are available, and duplex printing can be added to the functions for an extra cost.

The paper path that comes with this unit comes in curved or straight, and envelopes, transparencies and plain paper are all supported by the LaserJet 8100. The largest size possible is 11.7x16.5 inches, and envelopes up to 6.93x9.83 inches are all compatible. The 8100 has the ability to hold up to 1100 sheets in its paper trays, and the machine itself is only compatible with Windows, IBM and Novell operating systems, meaning those who use Macs are out of luck.

For those who may be worried about your budget, remanufactured versions of the LaserJet 8100 toner are available. Though these toners cost a lot less than the OEM or manufacturer's versions of each HP 8100 toner, they actually create the same high quality resolutions. That means you could save a lot of money while creating the same finished product. With remanufactured HP 8100 toner, this printer becomes and economic choice.
