PCW RATING: 83 = Very Good REVIEW: Color Laser MFP (http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/article/0,aid,120988,00.asp) PCWorld 2840 (http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/article/0,aid,121041,00.asp) PCMag 2840 (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1835786,00.asp)
Does anyone have any Photo Printing experience with this BadBoy?? Please Tell!! This BadBoy uses HP LaserJet Photo and HP LaserJet Glossy Papers!!
One attractive feature is the inclusion of media slots so you can print photos directly from a media card via the front panel, without having to go through a PC. Media card slots are common on inkjet MFPs but rare on laser-based machines.
The 2840 also dawdled as a printer, printing text documents at 7 pages per minute and color graphics at just 1.3 ppm. On the other hand, text looked clean and sharp, and grayscale graphics had a smooth texture and little banding--though our testers deemed the test pages too dark. Color graphics were generally good, with realistic hues that were just a touch too bright. Blues looked a bit oversaturated, but images had smooth transitions and good contrast. Test images printed on photo paper appeared vibrant but somewhat pixelated.
HP includes media card slots for CompactFlash, Secure Digital xD-Picture card, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, SmartMedia, and MultiMedia Card with the 2840; and it capitalizes on these by offering a number of photo-specific features more typical of photo-centric HP printers. For example, you can print a proof sheeting containing thumbnails of all of the photos on your card. The 2840 goes beyond printing a contact sheet: You can take that proof sheet, mark photos directly on the page, and scan it back into the machine. The MFP will then print all of the photos you've chosen. :cool:
Output quality is superb. More than half our test fonts were easily readable at 4 points, with none needing larger than 8 points. This earned the 2840 a rating of excellent for text, with output that's good enough for just about anything you might want to use it for. Graphics were marred only by some minor banding in a few images, for a rating at the high end of very good. That means you can print output—say, your own trifold brochures—that makes even a home-based business look fully professional.
Photos printed on HP's glossy laser paper ranged from near-photo to true photo quality, earning a very good rating, although some were slightly dark, as if shot through a neutral filter. In any case, the photo quality is easily good enough for printing items like client newsletters and marginally good enough for printing snapshots or photos for framing. And it's worth mentioning that the 2840 is the first color laser to earn a very good for photos.
