HP claims that its new Officejet business inkjet line delivers up to 50% lower cost per page than competitive laser printers. The expanded portfolio also includes new color HP LaserJet printers, supplies, and accessories as well as new monochrome HP LaserJet multifunctional printers.

HP’s new color printers and expanded line of specialty papers make it easy for small businesses to produce professional-quality color documents quickly and affordably in their offices. Over the next year, HP plans to make color printing even more affordable with new color LaserJet printers that deliver monochrome printing for the same price as in-class monochrome laser printers.

New color printing solutions optimized for small business marketing include:

• HP Officejet Pro L7590 All-in-One: Designed using HP’s Scalable Print Technology, this All-in-One prints laser-quality documents and offers duplexing, convenient flatbed scanning, copying, faxing, and built-in networking.
• HP Color LaserJet CP1515n/CP1518ni Printer series and HP Color LaserJet CM1312 MFP series: Offered with newly formulated HP ColorSphere toner that provides a wider range of colors, higher gloss, and improved photo resolution. Printers also ship with marketing resources such as HP Print View software that allows customers to view elaborate print jobs in advance and estimate document costs to avoid the frustration of unanticipated costs and reprints.
• HP Color LaserJet CP1215: Priced at $299, HP’s lowest-priced desktop color laser printer also features new HP ColorSphere toner

HP Color LaserJets – brilliant

When you buy an HP printer, you’re buying a product that will serve your business faithfully for many years to come, while providing innovative technology that makes printing simpler and more reliable than ever for your users.

Legendary reliability plus innovative toner cartridges, fusers, control panels, paper trays, and alert systems have a big impact on printer uptime and thus, your users’ success:

For shared printing, HP Color LaserJet printers provide reliable, consistent, and economical performance for everyday, high-volume printing. While generally not optimized for high-quality photos and graphics, HP Color LaserJet printers support a range of paper sizes and weights. They deliver exceptional color quality and color matching for business documents generally printed on standard-size paper, such as 81⁄2″ x 11″, 81⁄2″ x 14″, and 11″ x 17″. And today, with HP Color LaserJet printers, you get the same fast performance in color and black and white.

HP’s integrated toner-cartridge design delivers unmatched print quality because you essentially replace the complete imaging system when you replace the HP toner cartridge(s).
With Instant-on fusing technology, HP LaserJet printers can finish printing many documents before competing devices even finish warming up while at the same time save you money through reduced power consumption.

The HP Universal Print Driver is another tool that increases reliability by removing unnecessary complexity. One driver provides a common management interface for almost all LaserJet printers, access to a wide spectrum of print features, and new plug-and-print capability.

We’ve had two customers approached by this scam in just the last 60 days. In one case, the scam artist called to offer a quote on toner cartridges. The customer was told the price and declined to place an order. However, a few days later an overpriced toner (about double what they paid from us) showed up anyway, and a bill was sent to the accounting department. Luckily, the accounting department recognized the bill was not legitimate and refused to pay. Without proper controls, the bill would have been paid and company would have continued receiving overpriced toner cartridges.

As an example the Iowa Attorney General’s office posted a press release detailing one standard con routine:

Corporate Office Supply used a classic “price-increase pitch,” which involves several elements. An initial phone call to the targeted office creates the false impression that the caller represents the office’s usual toner supplier. The caller asks for the model number of the copier. The caller then says that the price of toner for that model is going up sharply — but that the supplier has saved some back at the old, lower price if the business will only make a quick order. If victims place an order, they may learn later that the caller actually did not represent the business’s regular supplier, that there was no price increase, that the so-called “current” charge is highly inflated, and that their new bill for toner is up to four times higher than a typical price.

The suit alleges that Corporate Office Supply victims “may not realize that their supply line has been commandeered by a ‘toner pirate’ and may pay grossly inflated toner prices to COS on a continuing basis.”

The lawsuit states that a wide range of offices are targeted by such schemes, including small businesses and professional offices, churches and synagogues, charities, associations, and government offices.

The Iowa Attorney General’s office offers the following tips to avoid becoming victims of such scams:

Train everyone who answers the phone to recognize phony office supply “pitches.”

Instruct employees not to provide information to unfamiliar callers about office copiers or other supply needs and arrangements. Don’t give names of office managers or persons responsible for purchasing (toner pirates may mention those names in a later call.)

Designate one person to be in charge of or oversee ordering and paying bills. Always review invoices and payments to avoid phony bills or office supply scams.

If a “toner pirate” or office supply scam deceives the office into placing an order, do not accept the shipment or pay the bill. Instead, report the incident to the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division

When you buy from One Source Imaging, we keep a record of what equipment you have and what supplies you use. Be very careful with non-local companies that call you out of the blue.

Luckily for our customers, we offer a fantastic remanufactured alternative, and our prices on those have actually fallen a bit since they were introduced. We offer a full 1-year satisfaction guarantee on our toner cartridges, so you’ve got nothing to lose by giving them a try!
