Strengths: Good Quality At first and then...
Weaknesses:After 9-11 Months these printers colors start to fade. I work in a school and we have a few of these.
Overall Evaluation: If I would have known that the Printers colors fade after the mirrors get full of dust than i would not have bought them. This is a known problem with these printers and can be pain if you have to have these mirrors cleaned every 9-11 months. Bad Engineering. this is going to happen to all of these printers overtime just wait and see... Invest your money in something better.

Strengths: The printer is much smaller than my last HP Printer.
Weaknesses:The last HP printer held 1,000 sheets of paper, was extremely fast and the all black toner lasted for a long time. The 2605dn that I currently have only holds 250 sheets and the toner does not last at all. In fact, back to Office Depot with this one, only 300 pages printed and it is telling me I have 256 pages left. This is the second or third toner that has done this. I might have a defective printer and will call HP. Since I have a tax business I only use the printer periodically, I love HP products and have been buying them for years but this is not something I am proud of or would recommend to anyone. They know what they are doing when they sell the machine cheap because the toner will break you.
Overall Evaluation: The printer is fair. I feel it does not hold a sufficient supply of paper and the toner is past crazy. It cost over $300 for all colors and for just the black I pay $74.99, plus tax. This particular toner has given me three hundred printed sheets and tells me I have 256 left .. order now.

Strengths: Duplexing, networking.
Weaknesses:Did not handle transition to Vista well, cartridges lost alignment. Uses lots and lots of toner.
Overall Evaluation: I loved this printer up until about a month ago. It did everything advertised. In the last month, the printer alignment has been messed up. The different color toners do not line up which makes for unreadable shadows when printing color. The printer spends a lot of time in calibration mode trying unsuccessfully to correct the problem, but using up lots of toner. This printer already used alot of toner and this didn't help. My previous color laser printer went through color cartridges about once per year and black cartridges about every 6 months. I have replaced the color cartridges 4 times and the black cartridge 8 times in the last 11 months (about $1500 in toner!!). Rather than try to get this printer fixed, I've decided to save money on cartridges and buy a different color laser printer after owning this one for less than a year.

Strengths: Duplex, quiet
Weaknesses:Small LCD
Overall Evaluation: I switched from inkjet to the 2605dn to save on color printing. Although the HP toner cartridges are pricey, they are good for 2000 pages. My ink/toner costs have been cut in half, compared to my inkjet costs. All around good bargain. Shop around, as prices vary widely. Just be wary of some internet sellers offering great pricing - the fine print reveals they are offering refurbished printers.

Strengths: price, ease of use, ease of setting up
Weaknesses:heavy, small LCD
Overall Evaluation: I must say, this has been the best printer purchase I've made in a long time. Forget inkjet, laser is the way to go if you wish to save money in the long run. For my purposes, it does extremely well.-I bought this printer because I wanted to have the option to print massive pages and not have to worry about buying an ink cartridge every week. This printer prints beautifully in black and color for the common user. I'm such a user, and have no complaints about the quality. If you want to be picky like some reviewers, you're selling yourself short; be happy for once. It's sadly simplistic in setting up on a network as well.-The only complaints I have, in which one is unwarranted, are weight and the LCD. Weight is something that can't be helped, but this thing is heavy. Disregarding that, the LCD is something that should have been worked on further. I had to bend over the machine to properly read the LCD because it's so small. Besides these two points, nothing is wrong with this printer. For the small price difference between color and monochrome, just buy a color laser and save yourself from regretting it later.-Sure, the four cartridges may be individually expensive, but I've barely printed a dozen pages and I still have 2000+ pages left in black and 1900+ in color. Buying new cartridges should last even longer. One more thing: the drivers that come with the printer take FOREVER to load. This shouldn't be a problem if you just walk away and have lunch. I hope this has helped.
