HP Color LaserJet 2600n Laser Printer

Graphic/Photo printing horrible

By Linda  May 11, 2009 | 1 out of 1 found this HP Color LaserJet 2600n review helpful

Pros: good B/W printing

Cons: Photo/Graphic printing sloppy

I've had this printer for almost a year now and though I would rave on how long the ink lasted and how terrific the black and white printing is (even if it is very slow), I am very disappointed with the photo/graphic printing. Card stock printing runs the ink and I cannot get a decent print quality on anything but plain paper.

I would not recommend this printer for anything but black and white/plain paper printing.

Problematic Printer

By LDMartin1959  Dec 8, 2008 | 2 out of 2 found this HP Color LaserJet 2600n review helpful

Pros: Inexpensive, print cost/quality

Cons: Poor quality control in manufacturing

The HP 2600N would be a nice, inexpensive way to get into a color laser printer if it didn't have serious problems with quality control during manufacturing. Apparantly the supplire of the magenta cartridge slots went cheap in order to get the contract. We had two of these printers, both of which had the magenta cartridge slots go bad. The printers were purchased at different times from different retailers, so the likelyhood of them being from the same manufacturing batch is minimal. Pure and simply, the printer is flawed.

Were it not for that serious issue, it would be a pleasure to recommend this printer as it provides good quality print at an inexpensive price.

Stinks with Labels

Pros: good color

Cons: Labels do not work well.

When you run the labels through the ink fibers to not catch to the paper and it runs down the page.

Pros: color

Cons: size

I have had this printer a little over a year (just out of warranty) and the Magenta cartridge is no longer printing. I have replaced it with 2 other cartridges (one refill and one new OEM) and it still will not print red.

Just The Best

Pros: THE BEST

Cons: THE BEST

I HAVE PRINTED 1480 B/W PAPER & I STILL HAVE 45% FULL IN THE CARTRIDGE

4SHUR I AM PRINTING FULL TEXT PAGE ON 80G/M PAPER

THIS IS AMAZING HOW COOL & GOOD @ PRINTING "NO PAPER STUCK & NO FAILD IN SENDING FILE TO PRINTER"

I THINK ANY PROPLEM HAPPENS WITH ANY ONE IS A BAD USE OF PRINTER NOT THE PRINTER IS BAD

ANY ONE TRIES TO PRINT MUST CHOOSE THE CORRECT SITTING OR WILL HAVE A PROBLEMS IN PRINTING WITH ANY PRINTER .

HP Color LaserJet 2600n

By Steve  Dec 15, 2006 | 3 out of 3 found this HP Color LaserJet 2600n review helpful

Pros: Easy set up on network, great print quality

Cons: none so far

We replaced an older HP Color LaserJet with this model and find it useful for small print jobs. I use it to print our company letterhead and logo in color and using the letter for direct marketing. While we were less than enthusiastic with the earlier HP color laserjet, this replacement printer was quieter and the print quality for excellent for our needs.

avoid this cheaply made product

By Yahoo User  Sep 25, 2006 | 1 out of 3 found this HP Color LaserJet 2600n review helpful

Pros: none

Cons: undependable undependable

I bought this printer last August and went through 2 of them because of a transfer belt that keeps breaking in these printers. I did not buy the extended warentee and when the third new printer broke from the same thing, I was out of a $400 printer. So returning this over and over and still onl getting a year out of it. Avoid this one folks.

Great home printer, yes, HOME printer

By Bruce  Jul 19, 2006 | 4 out of 4 found this HP Color LaserJet 2600n review helpful

Pros: Ease of use, print quality, easy to wireless network

Cons: b/w is a bit slow

When we compared the higher end inkjet printers and the cost of ink in terms of pages, the logical choice was a color laser printer.

After reviewing the stats, and learning why HP chose a single pass print system (why the b/w is slower compared to other units), we installed the HP2600n for our home wireless network.

True, the initial cartridge price seems steep, but when you consider through-put and the cost per page its really quite affordable for home use. We've found the print quality both b/w and color to be much better than most inkjet printers.

We have installed a wireless printer adapter and now enjoy the benefits of a total home wireless system.

Sitting on the patio sipping a cool drink while working on the laptop and being able to produce letters or reports remotely is a true joy, (the print station is in the basement).

Pros: none

Cons: won't feed and supplies are to high and don't last.

This printer has been replaced once and still will not feed paper. Labels WON'T FEED AND NEITHER WILL POSTCARDS. SUPPLIES LAST LESS THAN A MONTH AND WE GET LESS THAN 500 COPIES PER CARTRIDGES. THIS SUCKER IS A LEMON. WE ARE ASKING FOR A REFUND. IF YOU WANT A GOOD PRINTER DON'T BUY THIS ONE. A WORD FROM AN OLDER AND WISER USER. I HAVE AGED 10 YEARS IN THE LAST MONTH TRYING TO GET IT TO WORK.

Impresive Network Printer

By Huggy bear  Apr 10, 2006 | 2 out of 4 found this HP Color LaserJet 2600n review helpful

Pros: Price, efficiency, set-up, size

Cons: paper capacity

great little printer for the $. Ideal for small to medium work groups. We just had several installed for color networking along with the HP1020 for desktop and it was a very inexpensive smooth transition.
