HP Business Inkjet 1200d

HP Business Inkjet 1200d

REVIEW

With color laser prices dipping below $500, it's getting hard to argue for high-throughput ink jets aimed at business use. But at $199.99 direct, the HP Business Inkjet 1200d helps make the case. It not only turned in the fastest time we've ever seen on our ink jet business-applications suite, its times reached into territory normally reserved for laser printers.

Bottom Line

The HP Business Inkjet 1200d offers reasonably high-quality text and graphics at a speed arguably comparable with color lasers, along with paper handling that includes a duplexer and a 6,250-page-per-month duty cycle. It's on the slow side for photos, but the quality rates as very good.

Pros

Extremely fast performance in default mode for business applications. High-quality output, particularly for text. Duplexer.

Cons

Slow for photos. Graphics in default mode show banding.
