HP LaserJet M602 Toner Cartridges

HP M602 Printer Review

The HP LaserJet M602 is a workhorse laser printer with an inexpensive price tag and an impressive range of features. Before considering the base model, users should also take a look at the M602dn, M602n and M602x models that are slightly pricier, but also add useful business features like an extra paper tray, duplexing and networking. This series is very fast, printing monochrome text and graphics at a rate of up to 52 pages per minute. With each model using the same inexpensive HP M602 toner that contributes to a low cost per page, they would make a fast, flexible and affordable addition to large offices.

With a standard paper capacity of 600 sheets the base model is already equipped with decent media handling, but optional trays can increase the maximum to 3,600 sheets for heavy workloads. From its assortment of paper handling to an estimated maximum monthly duty cycle of 225,000 pages, the device has the means to support very large volumes.

While this powerhouse printer has consistent speeds, expert reviews indicate a subpar output quality with tests showing blurred lines for text with smaller fonts. However, it is adequate for simple office and internal use, printing monochrome pages with a maximum resolution of 1200x1200 dpi using black LaserJet M602 printer toner.

The manufacturer provides a starter HP M602 toner cartridge that can last for around 10,000 pages. When it comes time to replace the starter supply, users can either purchase another 10,000-page supply or a high-capacity LaserJet M602 toner cartridge that can yield up to 24,000 pages. There is also an option of low-cost remanufactured HP M602 toner for a lower price than OEM versions

The machine doesn't have the best output of its competitors, but it does surpass many similar printers with its quick printing. Considering its speed, affordable toners and features capable of increasing productivity, the device is an overall smart pick for large-volume offices.
