HP Color LaserJet 2840
We tested the HP Color LaserJet 2840 when it first came out in 2005, since then we kept it on in the office as it seemed to work well. Its a monochrome multifunction with all the usual bells and whistles, but best of all, it just works.
As far as quality is concerned, the 2840 performed very well indeed. Black text was legible down to 2-point and appeared as sharp and bold as anything weve seen. Black and white graphics were impaired slightly by horizontal banding, but photos looked remarkably smooth and captured fine details well. Color text was excellent and blending was smooth overall. Color graphics looked similarly well done, especially in large blocks, and were good overall despite some crosshatching.
The fax and scan functions were equally as good. The 2840 allows you to scan or fax to and from email, do just about anything over the network and allows you to transfer documents and files to and from either paper or digital formats. It does pretty much everything a small office multifunction should do.
Being an HP device, the 2840 is a well constructed machine, well built and looks like it could last years, in fact, ours has. The after-sales support is also legendary. While we havent had cause to use it with this, we have with other machines, and not only are their technicians English speakers, they are trained and know their stuff too. While that shouldnt really be a high point of support, it unfortunately is in these times.
The software is fully featured and simple to use. There is a plethora of control functions included with them and you can pretty much control everything from the desktop if youd like.
The quality of the grayscale scan in our tests at the default settings was clean and smooth. The only complaint with the output was that its color scans were somewhat pale and lacking in detail. That can be easily remedied within the control panel though.
The LaserJet 2840 has been with us a while, and has performed admirably in that time. We have no problems recommending it to others, or to continue using it into the future. Its a great multifunction, with just the right balance of features and price to make it affordable and sensible for the small office.
