There are many different factors to consider when evaluating the overall quality of a printer’s output. Print
quality involves more than the number of dots per inch (dpi) that the product places on a page; a higher dpi
does not necessarily mean better print quality.
High-quality output
The HP LaserJet P2030 Printer series delivers industry-leading print quality with 600 dpi, HP FastRes 1200, and
HP PCL 5e.
• The 600 dpi setting provides 600 by 600 dpi output with Resolution Enhancement Technology (REt) for
improved text.
• HP FastRes provides 1200 dpi equivalent quality at full engine speed. HP FastRes gives you professional
print quality that rivals that of competitors’ higher resolution products, without the performance penalties.
HP FastRes 1200 can represent each dot space as one of four different levels of black, similar to true 1200
dpi. However, HP FastRes uses only half as much RAM to store information for each dot space. This means
smaller file sizes, which translates to reduced memory requirements, less network traffic, and faster image
processing.
• Quickly translate application output into high-quality raster print images with HP PCL 5e. The PCL 5e page
description language accommodates a full set of PCL 5e fonts, and will print in DOS environments and
other third-party applications.
State-of-the-art HP print cartridges and paper
The included all-in-one HP LaserJet black print cartridge with precisely engineered HP toner delivers consistently
outstanding print quality and high speeds for a wide range of media.
• Our 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.
• HP printers, Original HP toner and a wide range of HP business communication and everyday papers are
designed and tested together for optimal results.
Ensured print quality with HP testing
Prior to its introduction, a new HP LaserJet printer undergoes rigorous HP testing to ensure that it provides
consistent high-quality output. Tests are performed with a large sample of products through each step of the
design process, to be certain that the printer measures up to HP standards. Throughout this testing, we discover
and resolve any issues that would compromise output quality. The result is a solid, reliable product that
produces consistent output throughout its life and the life of its supplies.
