Evaluating color MFPs 11
Output quality
Enhance your documents with dazzling HP color
There are many different factors to consider when evaluating the overall quality of an MFP’s output. Print quality
is more than the number of dots per inch (dpi) that the device places on a page; a higher dpi rating does not
necessarily mean better print quality.
The HP Color LaserJet CM1015/CM1017 MFP features a number of HP technologies that work together to
consistently deliver great-looking documents and business-quality photos at an affordable price.
HP ColorSphere toner
HP ColorSphere toner features gloss levels that are significantly improved over
previous HP color toners when printing on glossy paper. Improved melting and
fusing technologies work in sync with HP ColorSphere toner to enable superior
toner release and flow. The result is brilliant, intense colors every time you print.
Producing a wide range of very specific colors and smooth color transitions requires precision throughout the
printing process. HP’s new color toner uses uniform toner particles, which allows the precise placement needed
to produce a wide range of colors with the most subtle differences of shade, so images are more realistic.
HP ColorSphere toner is also designed to enable faster print speeds. HP ColorSphere toner particles are
chemically grown around an optimally sized wax core that is designed to work with the fuser for faster image
processing with optimum results.
HP ImageREt 2400
HP ImageREt (Resolution Enhancement technology) 2400 automatically provides the best color print quality
without changing driver settings or making trade-offs between print quality and performance. HP ImageREt
2400 is a suite of technologies built into the HP Color LaserJet CM1015/CM1017 MFP that includes
high-resolution laser imaging, HP Smart printing technology, and great color out of the box with intelligent color
control, industry-leading image enhancements, and system-optimization for printing with HP laser papers.
High-resolution laser imaging system
HP’s high-resolution laser imaging system uses multi-level laser exposure technology that modulates dot size and
adjusts dot positioning to produce superior image detail and tone rendition. Instead of grainy-looking images
with visible dots, you get near-photographic quality.
The multi-level printing process precisely controls color by combining up to four colors within a single pixel and
by varying the amount of toner in each pixel. With this method, over 100,000 different colors can be created
in a single pixel. Combined with high-resolution half-toning, multi-level printing creates millions of smooth colors,
sharp images, and crisp text.
