HP CP1210 toner

The HP CP1210 printer is certainly not the fastest, but it does improve by providing award-winning print quality. Using HP ColorSphere toner combined with HP ImageREt 2400 technology, the CP1210 produces exceptional professional prints with vivid images, sharper text, and graphics in 600 x 600 dpi for black and color printing. And one-door access, found on the front of the printer, provides a more natural way to replace empty cartridges.

The output on paper is almost the same quality as the one on the screen.

The Cons

Although inexpensive and user-friendly, the most significant disadvantage of owning this product is the high cost of toner cartridges. The cost of a complete set of toner cartridges is double the price of the printer itself. Besides, the printer also has a high ink consumption.

Mac is not supported. The printer is only suitable for Windows 2000, Server 2003, XP, Vista, and Windows 7 operating systems.
