November Printer of the Month - HP LaserJet pro M102w
Mono, compact wireless printer
Print Speed, Paper and Functionality
The HP LaserJet M102w printer is a small, compact, monochrome wireless laser printer. It is a print-only machine – it cannot scan, copy or fax. Its size and weight make it a suitable printer for home users where the printer would be positioned on the desk. Although it is only a mono printer the average print speed is slower than expected at only 14 pages per minute.
Connectivity
The HP LaserJet M102w printer connects wirelessly to your PC, laptop or phone with ease. You can also print using the following methods Apple AirPrint, Google Cloud Print and Mopria. It also works with HP’s own printing app, HP ePrint.
Cartridge Cost
The HP M102w only requires a black toner cartridge due to being a mono printer. It accepts the HP17A range which can be purchased from our website; https://www.redbuscartridges.com/toner-cartridges/hp-toner-cartridges/hp-laserjet-pro-toner-cartridges/hp-laserjet-pro-m102w/. We offer a genuine HP version and a cost-effective Red Bus equivalent in a recycled HP version, which has been cleaned, repaired, refilled and tested. Purchasing recycled cartridges not only saves you money, as these are generally up to 80% cheaper than the original OEMs but also helps the environment and prevents the cartridge shells ending up in landfill.
Verdict
The print quality is great for a mono printer, which prints efficiently without any issues. If you need to print simple text documents such as letters and essays, then this budget-friendly printer will certainly do the job.
Overall Score – 3/5
