HP CM1415fnw Printer Review

The HP LaserJet CM1415 is part of a series of all-in-one printers that are designed to support the workload of small offices. With its incorporation of both black and color HP CM1415 toner, this color laser printer can produce the typical text document as well as detailed graphics and even photos. Printing in color, the device can work at a rate of 8 pages per minute, while monochrome projects print at a speed of 12 pages per minute.

With a built-in touch screen control panel, the CM1415 provides users with the ability for simple management of its print, fax, copy and scan functions. This 3.5 inch color touch screen is capable of providing easy access to scanning, faxing, and copying functions, and also provides notifications on supply levels for its HP CM1415 printer toner cartridges. Users can even surf the web from the screen and print images and web pages directly. The unit supports both wired and wireless networks, which makes for easier connectivity in a variety of sharing configurations.

The CM1415 has a size of 17x18x16 inches and weight of over 50 pounds that is bulkier and heavier than the similar multifunction Dell 1355, which should be a factor for buyers who might be limited on space. The Dell 1355 also has the CM1415 beat in speed, producing 15 pages per minute for black-and-white and 12 pages per minute for color. With this comparison, the 1355 can be suggested as a better alternative to HP's pricey CM1415 model.

When producing both print and copy jobs, the unit is able to create results with a maximum resolution of 600x600 dpi using black or color LaserJet CM1415 toner. The configuration of toners includes individual cyan, magenta, yellow and black HP CM1415 toner cartridges. Users can expect each color supply to last approximately 1,300 sheets before expiring. Its black LaserJet CM1425 toner can last up to 2,000 pages more before expiring to meet higher text printing volumes.

The combination of its multifunction design and full-color printing capabilities make this HP printer an alluring choice for small businesses. However, by some shopping around, users will find other all-in-one devices with slightly improved features and a less expensive retail price. Buyers will need to weigh the benefits of its web printing features and wireless support vs. its higher price.
