HP LaserJet Pro M452dn Color Printer, Amazon Dash Replenishment ready (CF389A) with High Yield 4 Color Toner Cartridges

Comment

We had previously been buying OkiData printers. Their manufacturing quality and reliability seems to have fallen in the last couple years. Now were buying this HP Laserjet M452dn, three of them so far. In a couple months of use, it has been the bees knees. The color doesnt look quite as good as the rich, vibrant colors of our older Oki printers. But were willing to trade absolute color pop for reliability.

The installation was fine and the duplexing is nice to have, although the paper curls. However the quality of print at small sizes leaves a lot to be desired. I didnt know when I ordered this that it doesnt have PostScript drivers which would probably solve the problem. The price was good at the time, however its dropped even more since my purchase. Honestly there doesnt seem to be much to choose from in this price / performance category so Ive decided to keep it and make it work. HP used to be the go-to brand for lasers - not sure what happened.

Generally speaking, I despise HP products. Took a chance on this because it fit the specs I needed for my home-based business. Held off posting a review until Id used it for my first project, and I gotta say, this model is all thumbs up. I require excellent color rendition, sharp text, photo-quality output for a printer that doesnt cost an arm and a leg. So far, this has delivered it all. Paper handling is great, set up was easy, supplies are readily available. Comes with starter-size toner cartridges which didnt last too long, but not bad. Your choice to reload with ultra-expensive HP toner, or one of the 3rd party toners. I used V4INK 410X for my first reload, and it worked flawlessly, without griping from the printer that "...this is not genuine HP toner..." All in all, this is fine printer when you need quality output in a high-output environment. Just be aware this model does not have wireless, just USB or Ethernet, which is fine for my needs.

If you are looking for an affordable laser printer that prints on polyvinyl waterproof sheet labels, here it is. I returned 6 printers before i found this one that prints the labels without jamming. Set paper type to 200g HP brochure glossy (label setting jams), and Manual feed, and youre good to go! Hurray.

My major complaint: envelopes are slightly creased and the indents from the other side show through on the address side. I imagine that is due to the heat. Reversed type slightly blurry, not crisp and clear like on a good inkjet printer. Sometimes, when I need to print something, I need to keep hitting buttons until I get the right combination to print, even though Im printing on 8.5 by 11 paper, or on envelopes. There are only four control buttons, but they are not intuitive. Sometimes, but not all the time, it keeps asking me to confirm what I am printing on. An eight page Word document sometimes requires me to press OK eight times. Sometimes in an eight page document it prints the first page a few times. It keeps asking whether or not to print stored jobs, and insert the thumb drive in the USB port. Maybe I just have a defective printer, but if they are all like this it is not very well-thought out. I dont think it is me because I have a Canon black and white laser printer (Canon imageCLASS MF227dw) that is very intuitive and easy to figure out.

Printer is generally good, but annoyingly locks you into expensive HP supplies. There are settings to allow non-HP cartridges, but experience and Google searches show these dont fully work. For example I bought aftermarket toner cartridges on Amazon and they work fine individually, but trying to use all four together gives you a "Supply memory error". HP Tech Support will not explain why or even discuss it as a printer issue--they just state that third party supplies damage printers.

After reading some of the reviews I wasnt sure what to expect of the warmup time, but this printed right away for me. Im happy with the fast printing response. I like the simple LCD display better than the touchscreen display because there is less to break, and less to clean in the busy work environment. The white design is beautiful and looks even better in person. Heres a photo in the desk cubby hole.

This is the 2nd printer we got but that was just a fluke. Manufactures defect. This printer prints fast . Its not ink but toners, which I love no mess and double sided which is awesome does not waste paper. Dont make the first mistake I did by getting the HP Laserjet Pro M452nw Wireless Color Printer this one says Manual Duplex which I thought was to mean you would have to choose it in the dialogue box each time. No biggie right? You have to actually feed each page you want to do double sided. That sucks. Other than that it was nice. Between the M452nw (wireless printing + manual duplex) and the M452dn (no wireless(does wireless thru LAN via internet) + auto duplex printing). M452dw now has everthing but more expensive. So make your chioce. Great color have printed many photos and put them in frames. Prints right on Glossy Photo Paper. Makes Cards like they are from the store. Save some money.

I own my own business and print all of my own product labels. My only regret is not purchasing this printer 3 years ago. I have been fighting horrible printing issues with a former printer I owned for almost 2 years. FINALLY I was sick and tired of it and gave this printer a try after the company I buy my labels from said it came highly recommended. First of all, its fast. The quality is unbeatable. Printing is flawless, beautifully colored and doesnt rub off like the bad printer I had before. I cant attest yet to its longevity since Ive only had it about a month, but so far,I am incredibly pleased.

Purchased M452dn color laser printer. Ran a diagnostic page and colors were severely misregistered. Running calibration routines made no difference. Contacted HP tech support. The reinstalled every computer driver and played on my computer for an hour, despite the fact that I told them the problem could be demonstrated without the printer even connected to the computer. HP suggested a return. Apparently no method of manually registering colors so I received a lemon.Took nearly an hour to find a method of contacting HP about the issue. The company has gotten so big and their web site to convoluted that everything ends in a loop--look here, suggest this, all pushing you towards the "user-to-user forums" for support. When I pay money to a company I want to speak with someone at the company, not relay on another user who may not even know what he/she it talking about. Very disappointed with the experience as a whole.
