That said, the colour reproduction and fidelity are good. There's a flip out tray for the paper which effectively doubles its footprint.Īgain, it's 2022 and scan quality hasn't advanced much in the last decade - it's 600ppi. It can do around 20 pages per minute.ĭespite HP claiming this to be their 'smallest' printer, that's only true when not in use. There is a (slightly hidden) stand to hold paper once it has been printed.

Black and white text comes out with the expected resolution. But it seems we've reached the plateau of print quality.

I have a Samsung ML-1210 which, I'm not kidding, is about 20 years old! This new HP has exactly the same resolution - 600圆00. You send it a file, it comes out quickly and cleanly. Very little thought has been given to first impressions.īut, hey ho, let's get on with printing, eh? Print Quality This doesn't feel like a premium experience. But mine had a panel which had popped out - either in transit or as a result of a poor Quality Control process. The printer is secured with lots of packaging and tape - ostensibly for security. HP don't see you as someone who bought a printer - they see you as someone who is going to give them lots of money for ink. There's a dozen different flimsy bits of paper to tell you how to configure it, a big warning sheet telling you not to use 3rd party ink, and a big glossy brochure trying to upsell you on buying an ink subscription. The unpacking experience really isn't very good. You'll notice that there's no mention of the type of USB port - nor any photos of it - on the HP site. Even more annoyingly, it doesn't use USB-C - instead it's that awful square USB plug. So, what do you get for your £220?Īnnoyingly, it doesn't come with a USB cable! I thought that was to save money - but they included a UK and EU power cable, so I think it's just to 'encourage' using the WiFi. It's pretty good - but has an atrocious app - and works with Linux. The HP M140w is a small printer/scanner with built in WiFi. The fine folk at HP sent me one of their new Laser printers to review.
