Disadvantages of the HP Color Laser 150nw:
The device lacks automatic duplex printing and automatic document feeder. These features make everyday office life easier. The print quality of 600 × 600 dpi is perfectly adequate for home and home office use. For professional printing, a device with at least 1200 × 1200 dpi is preferable. The printer is primarily suitable for black and white printing. Here the laser offers high speed. The colour laser produces colour prints much more slowly, so the printer is not suitable for processing high print volumes in colour.
A point of criticism of the otherwise compact model is the open paper tray. Users complain that the supplied toner cartridges do not have the full capacity. The printer comes with a black toner for up to 700 pages and a colour toner in cyan, magenta and yellow for up to 500 pages each. It is a good idea to order the matching toners at the same time.
Who should buy an HP Color Laser 150nw?
The printer for high-quality black-and-white and colour prints is suitable for users who print between 100 and 500 pages per month (maximum 20,000 per month). It is especially useful for printing text documents and graphics in black and white. The machine prints these using a laser at a high print speed of up to 18 pages per minute.
Colour printing is much slower. Therefore, the printer is ideal for users who only occasionally make single colour prints. The medium print quality of 600 × 600 dpi provides home users and home office staff with sufficient sharpness for precise black and white prints and colour prints with high luminosity. The printer's compact design allows it to be placed in work environments where space is at a premium.
