HP Smart printing technology
HP Smart printing supplies include technology that adjusts the electrophotographic voltages of the print
cartridges throughout the stages of their life. As the properties of the imaging drum and toner change over time,
adjustments are made for minor fluctuations in sensitivity. These adjustments ensure even, consistent distribution
of toner particles.
System-optimization for HP laser papers
Optimize output quality for an array of media types in sizes up to 8.5 by 14 inches with new preconfigured
Printing Shortcuts. With a single click, select from a collection of settings for general everyday printing,
envelopes, cardstock, glossy paper, and more. For the best results, HP color laser papers are the first glossy
laser papers designed to work specifically with HP Color LaserJet printers.
Note To prevent poor print quality and damage to the laser printer, do not use specialty inkjet coated paper.
Evaluating print quality
This section offers some practical advice for conducting your own print quality evaluation. First, you will
develop a group of sample documents that represent what a typical user would print. This is the best method
for determining if a printer is suited to your needs. Then you will evaluate the print quality of the output.
Creating samples
It is important to test files like those that will be printed on the printer. Your samples should include multiple
documents and file types, sent from applications commonly used in your environment. The samples should
have different elements (text, graphics, and images) and should vary in complexity and page length. Some
suggested content includes:
Simple text documents May include e-mail messages, memos, or a spreadsheet report, printed on plain office paper
Mixed text and graphics May include newsletters, PowerPoint presentations printed on transparencies, or marketing
materials printed on glossy paper
Images May include photographic images and advanced graphics (using overlays or fill patterns), printed
on photo paper

Evaluation guidelines
Before you print the sample documents, make sure that your test environment simulates the end user’s and
that you make a fair comparison between printers. Follow the guidelines below:
Evaluate a printer from the end user’s perspective.
• Print from computers that closely match the typical end user’s.
• Test print features (color options, document formatting, etc.).
• Test and compare default settings. (What settings will the end user use most often?)
