Evaluating laser multifunction products 17
Output quality
Enjoy sharp, clear output for all of your business documents
There are many different factors to consider when evaluating the overall quality of a product’s output. Output
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 output quality.
The HP LaserJet M1005 MFP features a number of HP technologies to consistently deliver impressive results with
great-looking documents at an affordable price.
High-quality printing
Through innovative engineering, HP FastRes technology delivers outstanding print quality—at engine speed. This
means you get the high-quality output you have come to expect from HP along with the performance you need.
Because HP FastRes technology can represent each dot space as one of 256 levels of gray, the HP LaserJet
M1005 MFP prints incredibly sharp text and graphics. As a result, the professional print quality obtained with
HP FastRes rivals that of competitive printers with higher dpi specifications—but without the performance
penalties.
HP FastRes is the default, out-of-the box print mode. For drafts and other in-house documents, the printer offers
the option of EconoMode. EconoMode creates draft-quality printing by reducing the amount of toner on the
printed page.
Note HP does not recommend full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time, it is possible that
the toner supply will outlast the mechanical parts in the print cartridge.
C-shaped paper path
Unlike devices from other manufacturers, which are often designed with a complex, S-shaped paper path, the
HP LaserJet M1005 MFP features a simpler, C-shaped paper path for more reliable printing and printed output
that is less likely to curl.
HP print cartridges with Ultraprecise toner
The included all-in-one HP LaserJet black print cartridge features Ultraprecise toner to ensure consistent, top-
quality output.

Cartridges are designed to deliver quality and reliability over the life of each print cartridge,
and from cartridge to cartridge. You refresh the printer with every original HP LaserJet print cartridge, ensuring
crisp, sharp text and lines every time you print. The HP print cartridge, product, and software are designed to
work together to deliver optimal print quality.
Professional copying and color scanning
• The color scanner converts printed material to digital information at high fidelity, with up to 1200 ppi
(pixels per inch) optical resolution. The software can interpolate up to 19,200 ppi. Copy jobs are scanned
at 300 ppi and printed at an impressive 600 dpi.
