HP Color LaserJet CP2025dn Cartridges Review

Posted: Sep 23, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

The £500 HP Color LaserJet CP2025dn printer has been designed with small work-groups in mind and it has network capability, can print on both sides of paper automatically, and is rated at 20 pages per minute (ppm).

There is a 250 sheet tray at the lower front of the CP2025dn and a lower-able tray above it which can be used for a variety of purposes. The front also houses the control panel which you can use to input print jobs and other commands.

USB and Ethernet leads can be connected at the rear of the HP Color LaserJet CP2025dn. Getting it up and running proved t be straightforward but it weighs just under 53 pounds so is not too easy to move around. It has four low capacity toner cartridges already installed and all you have to do is peel off some tape from them before you plug the machine in. Configuring the printer was straightforward and there were no problems with the network connection.

Software installation for the HP Color LaserJet CP2025dn proved to be just as simple and is handled by the setup routine on the supplied CD. The printer will work with Windows, Mac and Linux. Drivers are provided for the first two and Linux users can get drivers from HPs website.


The four HP Color LaserJet CP2025dn toner cartridges are contained in a single tray that comes out of the front of the machine. The black cartridge, the CC530A, is rated at 3,500 pages and each of the colours, CC531a, CC532A and CC533A are rated at 2,800 pages. For those of you that are worried about running costs much cheaper compatible cartridges are available.

The HP Color LaserJet CP2025dn prints fairly quickly. It was consistent at 20 pages per minute (ppm) both for black and white and colour.

Print quality is generally good. Mono text proved to be sharp and clear. Colour prints were equally satisfying being well balanced and attention grabbing.

The quality of photos produced varied with the quality of paper. When printing photos it quickly became apparent that it was necessary to use high quality paper to get good results. If 80gm paper was used the prints were often dull and the colours inaccurate but with better quality paper the results were very satisfactory. Prints were sharp and detailed with vibrant and accurate colouring.

If you are looking for a reasonably priced (about £500), compact colour laser printer that prints high quality documents quickly, then the HP Color LaserJet CP2025dn should be on your short list. However if you plan on printing a high volume of colour document you will find it is relatively expensive to run, and good quality photos could only be produced using high quality paper.

    Getting a printer can be very costly, especially if you use a laserjet. With some printers, the toner or cartridge might cost at most half of the amount of the printer, which is why some people opt to hack their printers with refillable ink. This practice can actually do more damage to the printer, making you spend more rather than save money.

The rest is actually operated through the touchscreen display screen or else one of a series of preset, lighted touch buttons arranged around it.
