Xerox Laser Printer Scanner Review
Xerox has been a leader in technology since well before the dawn of the home computer. The Xerox brand has consistently been a leader in quality and reliability. Xerox’s continuing commitment to excellence in technology continues with the introduction of the Xerox 6130 colour laser printer. The 6130 line of printers is a good addition to the growing competitive field with a bevy of great features for the home office business customer.
The demands of today’s office environment are high. Printers need to do everything and do it well. The Xerox 6130 does just that. It prints in both colour and black and white, with an impressive speed of sixteen pages per minute in black and white and twelve pages per minute in colour. The quality is that of a much larger, more expensive printer. It handles multiple output types, including letterhead, envelopes, labels, business cards and even transparences. The processing speed of the 333 MHz processor is unmatched by any other printer in the industry. The 128 MB memory is adequate for any graphic you can imagine. The printer is designed to run on black ink, in monochrome mode, should the colour ink run out. This is a handy feature which means your print productivity will not be interrupted. The 130 also comes with PrintScout software, which acts as both an instruction manual and problem solver right on the screen. PrintScout saves hundreds of hours normally spent troubleshooting printer problems. The 6130 is compatible with either PC or Mac systems, and is as easy to use as a conventional network printer.

Hp Laserjet P1505 Review
Design
The P1505 will certainly not take up too much room on your desktop. At 8.9×14.9×9.6 inches, it is smaller than many inkjet printers and weighing only 12.9 pounds it is not difficult to move single-handed. Without an LCD screen, the control panel consists of an array of lights labelled with icons that are so confusing, you often have to refer to the on screen documentation to figure out what the light sequence is telling you. HP has obviously cut corners to get down to this price and the paper guides that are located deep within the input tray are small and hard to move. The output tray also has a rather flimsy fold out extension showing more cost paring.
Cartridges
The printer is supplied with a starter cartridge with a limited capacity of 1,000 pages, so it will not be long before you are forced to buy a replacement. The only toner cartridge suitable for this printer is the HP CB436a with a capacity of 2,000 pages and is not intended for heavy-duty use. This cartridge type is currently only used in this machine and two multifunction printers and costs a hefty £42. This yields a cost per page of over 2p, so it is not particularly economical. Compatible cartridges have not reached the market yet, so you cannot rely on this avenue for cost savings.
Performance
Unfortunately there was also evidence of cost cutting in the print tests. Plain text is handled fairly well given the likely workload, HP’s new spherical toner delivering crisp characters, however graphic performance isn’t up to par. Gradients were afflicted by plenty of banding and the maximum resolution of 600×600 dpi is half of that available from some other budget printers, like the Brother HL-5240. If print quality is disappointing, the same cannot be said for print speed. This printer hit 22ppm in tests that included both text and graphics, a result that is excellent for a budget laser printer and is faster than many more expensive printers.
Verdict
If you are just after a fast affordable mono laser printer for your home office, at less than £90 the HP Laserjet P1505 may just fit the bill. But if you require a little more in the way of usable features or better quality output, you would be well advised to increase the budget slightly and look one division up, at the likes of the Brother HL-5240.
