Evaluating output quality This section offers some practical advice for conducting your own output quality evaluation. Use the sample documents you created in “Creating samples” on page 11 to evaluate the print quality of the output. Evaluating print quality Individuals may perceive print quality differently. HP strongly suggests that you have several people evaluate your sample documents, in the same environment, with a consistent light source. Have them vote on the samples that they like by listing them in order from the best to the worst. Allow each person to rate the samples independently and then record the results. Also, have each person establish a “cut line” for acceptable print quality for the end-user environment. This process is referred to as psychometric testing and should be performed on all of the sample documents that you are using to evaluate text, graphics, and image quality. Look for the following characteristics: • Text should be dark, solid black, without hollow spots. • Edges of text and graphics should be crisp and smooth. • Toner should not blur or bleed. • Solid color fills should be uniform. • There should be no banding across graphics or images. • Images should be clear and sharp, without graininess. • Images should look natural and realistic. Evaluating copy quality High resolution does not directly correlate to copy quality. Copy the type of material you typically copy, whether a book, magazine, sales brochure, photograph or other high-quality content. • Does the copy quality meet your expectations? • How easy is it to adjust image quality and select output options from the control panel? • Does it take multiple adjustments and multiple copies to get good copy quality? Evaluating scanning quality Scan several documents, images, and photos. • Does the quality of the scanned image meet your expectations? • How easy is it to obtain a satisfactory image? • Is the scanning software easy to use? Are there options for scanning specific document and image types? • How large is the final scanned file size? 18 Output quality
Value Enjoy HP LaserJet quality and multifunction flexibility at a great price. Value takes into account everything from the initial investment, to support and maintenance costs, to the cost of supplies. The HP Color LaserJet CM2320 MFP series provides a simple office solution at a great price, delivering fast, high-quality laser printing and copying and easy faxing 1 and scanning. Simplify, save time, and reduce costs • Step up to multifunction laser. By supporting one device rather than multiple devices, you can reduce costs by managing fewer supplies and minimizing storage requirements and service interruptions. • Get affordable printing. Not only does this HP Color LaserJet MFP have a great purchase price, but you can print black pages for the same price as printing black pages on a black-and-white HP laser device. 2 And you can still print in color! • Avoid design fees and copy shop charges. Create professional looking material at your desk. The HP Print Cost Estimator helps you determine costs beforehand by providing a link to a select set of country-specific InfoTrends reports, so you can easily compare the cost of printing in-house with the cost of outsourcing documents to a copy or print shop. • Keep costs under control. With the color copy lockout feature you can turn off color copying, while photo lockout blocks card slots on the HP Color LaserJet CM2320fxi MFP from being read to save unnecessary photo printing expenses. • Use less power. With Instant-on Copy, the scanner on this HP LaserJet device uses an LED light source—an already-stable, instant-on light source that requires no warm-up prior to scanning. Copy jobs begin quickly from low power mode. After the copy is scanned, Instant-on Technology takes over to print the copy output. 4 Instant-on Copy with LED-based technology requires 4 times less energy when idle and 1.4 times less energy when copying versus traditional copying technology. Instant-on Technology uses up to 50 percent less energy than traditional fusing. • Count on quality. HP print cartridges are designed to maintain a low cost of ownership and minimize user interaction, which saves time and improves productivity. HP print cartridges are available at most retailers and HP’s take-back program enables easy, environmentally-conscious print cartridge returns. • Reduce training time. The familiar HP interface is preferred by most office users and requires little or no training. • Get more for your money. Flexible paper handling and a low-maintenance design save time and money and keep your office productive. The included HP LaserJet Scan and Readiris Pro OCR software add value. • Count on HP dependability. By far the biggest contributor to user productivity is the reliability of HP equipment, support, and service. Instead of experiencing frustration and downtime while waiting for device repair, you can get your work done. The MFP comes standard with a one-year limited warranty with online and phone support.
