The Hewlett Packard LaserJet 1320 looks sharp, prints sharp and has cutting edge features. Although the price isn’t as competitive as usual for HP, this little machine makes up for the high price tag with a boatload of extras including networking options, automatic two-sided printing, and expandable memory for your convenience. It truly is a cutting-edge printer for any small or medium sized business.
First Impressions: The HP LaserJet 1320 is a great looking little printer. A slightly higher contrast in its standard two-tone color scheme and very clean lines make this printer stand out aesthetically. The controls on top are easy to access, it is very simple to set up (although you’ll need a USB printer cable), and its small size means you can fit it comfortably on your desk for convenience. Of course, looks are nothing if a printer can’t deliver – but thankfully the 1320 certainly carries through on its promise.
Although it only offers black and white printing, it has an extremely high resolution so you enjoy crisp quality every time.
Features: Built-in duplexing is the shining point of the 1320. Although this seems to have taken space away from the paper tray (a meager 250-sheets), you can purchase an addition 250-sheet tray if you need it. Surprisingly, the duplexer is quiet and almost invisibly integrated, in contrast with the bulkier design of some comparable duplexing models. The HP LaserJet 1320 features very sharp text and graphic printing, at up to 22ppm, although larger graphics often slow it down signficantly.
With a 1200×1200 max resolution, this printer turns out great looking grey-scale pictures. One other step forward for this printer is the optional wireless network card, meaning you can potentially forego hardwiring this machine and put it anywhere you like. The base model includes both USB and parallel ports for connection to almost any computer.
Variations:
HP LaserJet 1320t – includes an additional 250-sheet paper tray, as well as extended onboard font support.
HP LaserJet 1320n – includes an HP JetDirect network card.
HP LaserJet 1320nw – includes an 802.11b/g Wireless network card, as well as standard Ethernet support.
HP LaserJet 1320tn – includes the extra paper tray and the network card.
Because of the different feature sets available, there are few accessories for this printer. However, the RAM can be upgraded to 144MB for larger print jobs.
Recommended Compatible Printer Cartridge: The HP 49A (low yield, up to 2500 pages) and HP 49X (high yield, up to 6000 pages) are the ideal fit for this printer. However, instead of buying a new cartridge from HP or an outlet store every time, you can save time and money by turning to Digitech Laser.
