Operating at an incredibly fast print speed and capable of extremely high output, the HP Laserjet 9050 is one of the fastest 11 x 17 tabloid / ledger style printers on the market today. Though the unit itself is quite costly, its robust hardware designed for extremely high monthly output promises huge productivity numbers for both standard paper sizes and oversized formats.
HP’s Instant On fuser technology makes warm up time for the HP Laserjet 9050 virtually zero, and allows for a first page out time of only 8 seconds. Print speed clocks in at up to 50 pages per minute for letter sized paper, making the device easily one of the fastest printers of any kind available.
Though the HP Laserjet 9050′s resolution is locked at only 600 x 600 dots per inch, it is capable of utilizing HP’s FastRes resolution enhancement technology for a 1,200 dot per inch equivalent. The unit prints exclusively in black and white and is by no means capable of photo quality resolution, limiting its usefulness as a poster or graphic arts printer, but oversized business and text documents will come out looking professional, and original.
The HP Laserjet 9050 boasts a maximum monthly duty cycle of 300,000 printed pages, meaning that extremely high output is not a problem whatsoever for the unit, though HP itself does recommend only a 15,000 to 50,000 page per month average usage for optimal performance and lifespan. If problems do arise, HP backs the printer with their one year limited replacement plan and technical support.
Standard included memory with the HP Laserjet 9050 is a sufficient 128 MBs. This amount of RAM should prove to be plenty for standard text documents. However, considering the nature of the oversized format, complex print projects, such as mixed text and imagery, are a highly likely outcome of the printer, which could result in slowdown. The printer comes with an open memory slot to remedy this possibly threat, and can accept up to a total of 512 MBs of memory.
The HP Laserjet 9050′s processor is more than sufficient at 533 MHz, and the unit’s paper handling abilities are admirable. With two 500 sheet trays standard, the printer can hold, and switch between, both letter or legal sized paper in one bin, and tabloid sized paper in another, making switching between media types easy. A 100 sheet multipurpose tray is also included for special or oddly shaped media types.
A 2,000 sheet additional input tray is available for purchase separately, as well as a number of finishing hardware options such as a 3,000 sheet stacker and a 3,000 sheet stapler / stacker. An 8 bin mailbox can also be attached for automatic project sorting, and a multifunctional finisher is available for special finishing tasks.
Two output bins, a 500 sheet standard bin and a 100 sheet face up bin, further complement this extremely high volume printer, and cement the HP Laserjet 9050‘s standing as a top of the line tabloid monochrome printer for both speed and output capacity.
