HP LaserJet 1320n Printer: Always Performing To The Best Of Its Abilities

Ranked #72,690 in Computers & Electronics, #1,124,972 overall

Getting a handle on the HP LaserJet 1320n printer using LaserJet 1320n cartridge is easy enough once one spends a couple of minutes looking it over and giving it a few test runs. This monochrome printer works best for small businesses and small networked workgroups, and it is a direct improvement on the earlier Hewlett-Packard 1320 printer that it seems to have been manufactured to complement or replace.

Great Practical Office Printer

As far as how fast this machine gets the job done, expect to see somewhere around 22 pages of print product in a minute kicked out of the printer. This is in the machine's so-called "best quality" mode, which means that print speed can be increased slightly by selecting a lower-quality print mode. Regardless, all print jobs will come out looking very nice even in lower quality modes.

The 1320n takes laser print technology and uses it to the best advantage possible when using HP printer toner rather than standard laser toner cartridges. For the most part, this is a very nice way of having any number of print tasks produced and it's a sure bet that practically nobody will ever complain of any lack of production on the part of this Hewlett-Packard printer.

As far as the quality of the product that's produced by the 1320n, it's uniformly excellent due to the high dots per inch resolution that the printer is capable of creating. At 1,200 x 1,200 dpi, most print jobs -- even those heavy on graphics -- will come out looking very sharp and clean. In fact, the printer does exceptionally well at presenting graphics-rich jobs in a relatively short amount of time.

The relative speed of the printer is due to the 16 MB of RAM that the 1320n comes with. It can be increased upwards with optional memory upgrades as well. For any small business or workgroup, it's a fair bet that 16 MB will be more than enough to handle a large number of print jobs and near-simultaneous print tasks without needing an upgrade of memory.

Monthly duty cycle is relatively low at 10,000 pages per month, and this is perhaps to accommodate the high print resolutions that the 1320n delivers to each print job. It can be connected to a computer or a network through a variety of means, the most common of which is by making use of its included USB 2.0 input port. It also features a parallel port and a number of different optional connections.

As with just about any Hewlett-Packard printer, this particular model is designed to work best with Windows-based operating systems, and it is even Vista ready. There's a nice one year warranty which can be supplemented by several more years for a fair price. It comes complete with CD-ROM software (drivers, installation etc.) as well as printer cartridges.

Generally speaking, the HP LaserJet 1320n printer will be sure to put a smile on the face of most company IT specialists or small business persons looking to add high-quality printing and legendary Hewlett-Packard reliability and durability to their office environment. For a price of around $250, refurbished (new printers run about twice that), there seems to be a lot to like about this HP printer.

Those in business will appreciate the fine detail offered by 1320n toner cartridges. Expecting clean, crisp prints no matter the size of the project is easy with HP LaserJet toners. Also appreciated will be the price of compatible toner cartridge when ordering from competitive online merchants.
