Evaluating color printers
Based on extensive market research and customer feedback, HP has identified user needs in five key categories.
These categories should be closely examined as businesses consider the purchase of color printers. In this
section, we will examine each of these and how the HP Color LaserJet CP1215 Printer meets the criteria in each
category.
1—Ease of use
2—Print quality
3—Performance
4—Reliability
5—Environmental responsibility

Evaluation guidelines
As you design tests and conduct your evaluation, remember the following guidelines:
• Consider the typical end user’s printing needs.
• Simulate the end user’s environment.
• When testing more than one product, try to make a fair comparison between products by setting up in
the same environment and testing similar settings and configurations.
Analyze each of the elements of the printing process, but remember that the elements work together as part
of the whole printing solution. (For instance, performance claims mean very little if documents print incorrectly
or with poor quality.)
