Thread: HP Laserjet P2035

Laser printers are quickly moving towards home and home office users for their fast print speeds and good quality prints. The Laser]et P2035 is a monochrome laser printer from HP aimed for home or SoHo use.

The HP Laserjet P2035 is white with a simple design and suits most environments. The quality of the buttons are really bad, though they do serve the purpose of what they have to. There is no display on this printer, but instead there are simple indicative lights in case of any problem such as paper jams, no paper, etc.

There are two paper trays in this prin ter. The first one is a multipurpose tray which has to be unfolded by opening the centre area of the printer. This tray can hold Upto 50 sheets of paper. The second paper tray holds upto 250 sheets and is located at the bottom. This tray can be pulled out. One thing that is out of place is that this tray is left open at the rear of the printer.

This printer is really great when it comes to printing and speed. The Laserjet P2035 shot out the first print in 8.9 seconds. We tested the printer in two modes - economy and standard. The economy mode was set with 600 dpi and the EconoMode checked, whereas standard was tested at 600 dpi alone. The time taken with both these modes is more or less around 7 seconds, but there was a definite difference between the quality of the prints. Compared to standard, the economy mode prints were less saturated and also had rough edges. The standard prints were much better and had smoother edges. We also printed our combi. pdf test document, which contains images, but found a lot of noise in these images and they were unclear and pixelated. 20 pages took a under a minute at 45.4 seconds which makes it really fast.

If you use a printer for occasional printing, then this is not for you.
