HP Color LaserJet CP2025n

7.5 7.5 10

17 Reviews | About the ZDNet Score

Although the HP CP2025n is rather slow to print black documents and is missing supplementary features such as USB-direct printing and wireless, the color laser shines in output quality, and the software holds your hand through a somewhat daunting learning curve. The CP2025n also has a high monthly duty-cycle, so we recommend it to anyone hunting for a workhorse printer to complement an equally diligent work environment.

    The Good: Impressive print quality; fast output for color documents; high monthly duty cycle; comprehensive driver features and warranty; easy networking setup.

    The Bad: Slow black printing; no auto-duplexing; can't print directly from USB thumbdrive or digital camera; lacks wireless connectivity.

    The Bottom Line: Although the HP CP2025n is rather slow to print black documents and is missing supplementary features such as USB-direct printing and wireless, the color laser shines in output quality, and the software holds your hand through a somewhat daunting learning curve. The CP2025n also has a high monthly duty-cycle, so we recommend it to anyone hunting for a workhorse printer to complement an equally diligent work environment.

    Review Summary: Simon takes a look at HP's latest colour laser printer.

    The Verdict: Inevitably, someone looking for a colour laser printer for a small office or workgroup is likely to consider both HP and Canon models. The Color LaserJet CP2025n has the advantage of a better control panel, but the colour print quality by default is...

    Review Summary: The HP Color LaserJet CP2025dn is a reasonably priced, compact color laser printer that prints high-quality documents at a fast clip, then the HP CP2025dn deserves to be on your short list.

    The Verdict: The CP2025dn was easy to set up, though it weighs nearly 53 pounds—you may need some help lifting it. The four small printer cartridges come preinstalled. You simply remove some protective tape from each cartridge before plugging in the printer. The...

    Review Summary: This veritable desktop printing press provides versatile, high-quality output (in low volumes) for small businesses.

    The Verdict: The CP2025dn is an excellent machine for producing or publishing a variety of presentation-quality documents that any business would be proud of. However, its relatively limited duty cycle (750 to 2,000 pages per month) and pricey color-output costs...

    Review Summary: The HP Color LaserJet CP2025n colour laser printer joins an increasingly crowded field of low-cost models for small and home offices. All of them have tradeoffs, but this model has fewer than most. And what it loses in style points, it makes up for in...

    The Verdict: If your budget restricts you to a lower-cost colour laser, the HP Color LaserJet CP2025n is one of the best choices currently available. While you lose some robustness, you get plenty of good print quality.
