HP Color LaserJet CM1017 review

HP Color LaserJet CM1017 MFP

Excellent print quality; built-in media card slots; good range of photo-printing options; network ready; 24/7 phone support.

Pricy; no fax functionality; slow prints; scan quality needs a lot of improvement; per-page costs are a bit high.

The HP Color LaserJet CM1017 MFP is a great choice for small offices that need a multifunction laser with excellent print quality.

HardwareCentral - HP Color LaserJet CM1017 MFP Review.

Fair enough, but what's the difference between an MFP and an AIO (all-in-one)? At our last HP press briefing, a product manager explained that the former is a printer/scanner/copier built for heavy duty in a busy business, while the latter term implies...

Once you heft the 49-pound MFP out of its box, setup is a simple matter of yanking free various pieces of packing tape, removing the preinstalled toner cartridges, and reinserting them after pulling a ripcord that keeps each cartridge sealed for travel

Review: HP Color LaserJet CM1017 MFP

While the HP Color LaserJet CM1017 MFP is well designed and easy to use, its slow speed makes it a tough sell.

Good output quality ; nicely designed ; easy to use ; memory-card slots ; useful photo features ; inexpensive ; full-color LCD

Very slow ; no fax features ; no automatic document feeder ; scanning features are inflexible ; can’t copy legal-size paper

All the prints, scans, and copies came out looking fine. Printed text was very dark, crisp, and clear. Curved and diagonal lines showed some jaggedness. Color images looked natural and rich, despite some problems: shadows faded to black too fast, and...

Hewlett-Packard backs the Colour LaserJet CM1017 MFP with a standard one-year warranty, which is on par with the competition, but you can extend the warranty. While under warranty, you can get free, toll-free phone support 24-7. HP's Web site has...

HP - Color LaserJet CM1017MFP

Multi-function laser machines are generally very utilitarian, like laser printers with scanners stuck on top. HP's Color LaserJet CM1017MFP does rather better. Although the components are the same, more work has been done on the styling ...

The quoted pricing of both machine and consumables is probably on the high side, as this machine is brand new and we have used HP's recommended prices for both. You can expect to see a competitive price drop among Internet retailers when the machine is...
