What You Should Know about the LaserJet 2430tn

Installed Memory is Ideal for Five or Fewer Users

This printer's installed memory is sufficient for small offices or workgroups that print typical business documents, such as memos, spreadsheets, or simple Web pages. If you have more than six people using the printer or the printer handles heavy traffic, you will want more memory than this printer provides.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Multiple paper trays. High yield cartridges. Network capability. Fast printing

Weaknesses: Slow in printing color graphics.

Overall Evaluation: This is the most expensive printer I have purchased and used. The printer was very impressive in text output speed and overall print quality. The paper trays can hold a lot of papers for a long time use. The printer is network capable, but I haven't tried yet. So far this printer does amazing printing job and it's really worth the price I paid. This printer is more suitable to people with medium to heavy printing job or an office for several users to share the printer.

Weaknesses: Expensive, heavy.

Overall Evaluation: It is very heavy, like 50lb or so and pretty expensive. But it is the best printer I ever used. If you are going to print a lot and want high-quality, go for it.
