It’s a fact: Black-and-white laser printing has been around for more than two decades. Most office printing is still done in black and white. Black-and-white output still accounts for the bulk of office printing costs. Is there really a difference between black-and-white HP LaserJets and competing devices? Absolutely. The HP Printing and Imaging Advantage
HP Instant-on technology virtually eliminates warm-up time. Traditional fusers like those employed by Brother, Dell, Epson, Konica Minolta, Kyocera, Legend Lexmark, OKI, Ricoh, Samsung, and Xerox use a halogen bulb inside a metal cylinder. The bulb warms the air gap between it and the cylinder and then the heat spreads throughout the cylinder to the outer surface. Once the cylinder reaches a specific temperature, it’s ready to affix toner on paper. This type of fuser works reliably, but it takes a long time to heat up. Pages-per-minute specs do not include this warm-up time. Innovative HP Instant-on fusers utilize a ceramic heating element that comes into direct contact with a durable, cylindrical film — eliminating the air gap and thus radically reducing warm-up time from powersave mode. This means HP users can output short documents faster from powersave — often before competing devices finish warming up — a big advantage considering the average print job in many environments is 3-5 pages. This technology also lets you save money through reduced power consumption. The HP Printing and Imaging Advantage
Reduce power consumption and thus save money with HP Instant-on fusers. Power required during printing Extra power required to keep the fuser hot Since halogen-bulb fusers take so long to warm up, printer manufacturers typically set them to stay hot for 5-60 minutes after a print job so users don’t have to wait long if they print another document soon. You can usually configure how long your printers remain in active mode after a print job. Keeping a printer’s fuser hot for 30 minutes after a job will cost you about $11 annually per device. Keeping the fuser hot 24-7 will cost you about $45 annually per printer. Actual prices may vary. The HP Printing and Imaging Advantage
Look beyond the specs. Instant-on fusing technology is just one of many important innovations that set HP LaserJet and Color LaserJetprinters and MFPsapart from competing devices. The HP Printing and Imaging Advantage
