Hewlett Packard LaserJet 2600n Printer —
The Hewlett-Packard Color LaserJet 2600n is just the laser printer I've waited to purchase. It has many of the features I require as a Computer Graphics Designer including clarity of reproduction, user-friendly operation and simplicity of design.
While its speed is on the slow side, 8 ppm, it's an ideal printer for a home office that requires quality printouts. The enclosed paper drawer at the bottom holds 250 sheets, and you can add a second 250-sheet drawer for $149 - a little on the pricey side but it greatly increases the printout capacity is you do a lot of printing. Adjusting the paper drawer's width and length guides for letter or legal paper is also right at your fingertips.
The weakest area of the 2600n was in the printing of gradients, because it made abrupt transitions instead of a smooth flow of color change. The only other fault I have found is not actually with the printer itself, but with the price of the four tonor cartridges. They're on the steep side of the scale but changing them is a snap.
All in all, the HP Color LaserJet 2600n is an excellent printer for the price range and it will give you years of trouble service if you treat it well.
