HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni Color Laser Printer Review

by Susan Silvius and Melissa Riofrio

- HP's Color LaserJet CP1518ni is a low-cost color laser printer with a decent design. Compared with such similarly priced printers as the Brother HL-4040CN and the Dell Color Laser 1320c, however, it's a lot slower and has limited paper handling. It's best suited for use in a home or a fairly small office.

User Reviews for HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni

Reviewed by: Squirrell

Duration of ownership: 6 Months

Strengths: It works.

Weaknesses: Only got 100 pdf pages out of the supplied yellow cartridge. Each page printed reduces the toner pages remaining count by about 10 pages. Pictures are too dark, but there is no printer control panel to adjust the setting. To get a good image print it is necessary to manually adjust image brightness in an editor and then print the image several times to get the correct result. With pdf's and web pages there is no way out. Could not print black text Word document when out of yellow toner. The print driver did not have a setting for the type of HP's own laser paper used here.

Overall Evaluation: Avoid this one if images are important.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Image quality is sharp and crisp. Colors are pretty accurate. Networking is a plus.

Weaknesses: Cartridges are expensive and do not come in high yield. Slightly bulky and heavy.

Overall Evaluation: Prints okay. photo quality is not great. looks darker, lower resolution, & less glossy compared to inkjet printer. Since it's a laser printer, large scale photo doesn't look as nice as inkjets, but still does a decent job.The toner usage is the downside. Price is right!
