Review: HP LaserJet Pro 100 Color MFP M175nw is slow and limited

These days, color laser multifunction printers don't come at much lower prices than the HP LaserJet Pro 100 Color MFP M175nw. At just $350, it offers print/scan/copy/fax capabilities—and a lot of connectivity—in a compact, shiny-black package. Unfortunately, the machine is rather slow and limited for busy home- or small-office users, and its toner is expensive.

The LaserJet Pro 100 Color MFP is pretty easy to install via USB or ethernet; though the WPS-only Wi-Fi setup is relatively bothersome, you'll need it to enjoy the machine's compatibility with cloud-printing services from HP and Dell.

Using the 1.0 version installation CD, we encountered smeary-looking output when printing on heavier paper (including HP's own 220g glossy paper for color lasers). The problem arose only with certain applications, including Microsoft PowerPoint, and Adobe Acrobat, Illustrator, and Photoshop. HP has incorporated a fix into the 1.1 version of the installation CD (you can also find the fix online) but we wish that HP had made the update available for automatic download during installation.

The driver update couldn't solve all the Laserjet Pro 100 Color MFP's performance problems. Chief among these: It's slow, printing plain text on plain paper at a rate of less than 11 pages per minute whether on the PC or the Mac—below the average for this product category. Copying speed was poky, and scanning speeds were interminable. On the Mac, a full-page photos took about 80 seconds to print; that works out to a speed of 0.75 ppm.

The printer is compatible with AirPrint, so you can printer from an iPhone, iPad, or iPad touch vis Wi-Fi.

Output quality ranged from competent to disappointing. Color images showed a subtle backdrop of very fine horizontal lines, which made images look slightly fuzzy. Scanned images had a distinctly yellow cast and harsh shadows. Line-art scans showed jagged curves and busy moiré patterning in intricate areas.

The HP LaserJet Pro 100 Color MFP has just enough features to handle a basic small- or home-office situation. Paper-handling features include a 150-sheet paper tray on the bottom of the unit, and a 35-sheet automatic document feeder for the letter-size scanner. The 50-sheet output tray is modest, and duplexing is manual only. There are no media-card slots.

The LaserJet 100 M175nw uses a fairly unique rotating cartridge system. A button on the control panel positions each cartridge for removal, however, you must close the cover before you rotate to the next cartridge, which makes replacing multiple cartridges quite tedious.

Of greater concern is the price HP charges for its toner cartridges. The 1200-page black cartridge costs $50, or 4.2 cents per page, while the 1000-page magenta, yellow, and cyan cartridges cost $56 apiece or 5.4 cpp. Altogether, a four-color page costs a whopping 20.4 cents. We've seen remanufactured and compatible toner cartridges offered online for about 40 percent lees.

The documentation is well written and thorough, but it's available online only. We remembered why we didn't like this approach when we ran into a dead end ('page not found') while seeking help on how to change the toner cartridges.

The HP LaserJet Pro 100 Color MFP M175nw sports a low price tag, but it makes you pay in other ways, from time idling as you wait for output to appear, to high toner costs.

Review: Canon Pixma MG6220 offers futuristic controls

Macworld Rating

3.5 out of 5 Mice, Oct 5, 2011 Pros

Cool-looking touch control panel CD/DVD printing Good speed and print quality Cons

Price when rated: $200

By Jon L. Jacobi and Melissa Riofrio, PCWorld - October 5, 2011

If you're a fan of futuristic controls, you'll love the handsome Canon Pixma MG6220 color inkjet multifunction (print/scan/copy). The controls and LCD screen are embedded into the scanner lid, and you'll feel like you're operating the transporter in Star Trek the first time you use them. Beyond that, the Pixma MG6220 serves up high-quality printouts and decent scans, and it's fast for an inkjet MFP. However, you pay a lot for this model's good looks, and its ink costs are a tad high as well.

Setting up the MG6220, whether through USB, ethernet, or Wi-Fi, is easy. Canon has updated the look of the installation-routine dialog boxes, though they still aren't as professional in appearance as Kodak's. Fortunately, the software bundle that handles scanning, OCR, and other chores is as efficient and capable as any of the competition’s.

Yes, the MG6220's control panel, which debuted last year on the pricier Canon Pixma MG8120, looks futuristic. And yes, it has undeniable "wow" appeal. But we have the same complaint about it now as we did before: It isn't as efficient as it could be. The three buttons below the flip-up three-inch LCD screen, which you use for selecting options on the display, seem like an unnecessary alternative to the usual navigation and selection buttons. Frequently, you have to lift your fingers off the navigation controls and shift over to the selection buttons, which adds up to a lot of wasted motion.

Despite our gripes about the control panel, the MG6220 is generally easy to use, with the possible exception of printing on CDs or DVDs. The task, which involves inserting a tray into a separate feed slot, is easy enough after you've done it once, but Canon's convoluted instructions make getting up to speed harder than it should be.

The MG6220's media handling is a bit beefier than it might appear at first glance. In addition to the 150-sheet rear vertical feed for all media types, you'll find a 150-sheet drawer for plain paper hidden at the bottom of the unit. The MG6220 automatically duplexes (prints on both sides of the paper), but it offers no ADF (automatic document feeder) for the scanner—this is not an MFP for scanning long documents. The unit includes media slots for CompactFlash, MultiMediaCard, Memory Stick, and SD Card, and it also has a USB/PictBridge port.

Speed and print quality are high points for the Pixma MG6220. Text looks quite good—sharp and dark—and arrives at a brisk 7.8 pages per minute on the PC, and 8.14 ppm on the Mac. Photos printed on plain paper look nice, though a tad washed out, and they print at over 3 ppm (snapshot size). Full-page photos printed to glossy paper appear vibrant and clear, but print at only 0.6 ppm; that's about average for an inkjet MFP.

The MG6220's ink costs are a bit pricier than average. The 311-page black cartridge costs $16, which translates to a high 5.1 cents per page. The cyan, yellow, and magenta cartridges cost $14 each, and last from 450 to around 480 pages (about 2.9 cents per page per color). A four-color page will cost you just a hair over 14 cents per page.

If you want an MFP that delivers the basics with better-than-average speed and style, the Canon Pixma MG6220 is a worth a look. If you need an ADF (and can do without the space-age looks), check out its more business-oriented cousin, the Canon Pixma MX882, which includes an ADF and a more conventional control panel for about the same purchase price.

Review: Samsung CLP-775DN: a reasonably priced workhorse color laser

Macworld Rating

3.5 out of 5 Mice, Oct 11, 2011 By Melissa Riofrio and Jon L. Jacobi, PCWorld - October 11, 2011

Samsung's CLP-775ND color laser printer has power to spare for a busy workgroup, at a midrange price of $750. It breaks no new ground in output quality—photos are a challenge for it, as they are for most color lasers; but aside from that, it's a printer well worth considering.

The CL-775DN can connect by USB or ethernet. Setup is easy on both PCs and Macs. The printer's driver and control panel are intuitively designed, the latter consisting of a four-line monochrome LCD and a straightforward array of navigation and selection buttons.

The CLP-775ND is ready for high-volume use. Standard features including automatic duplexing; a 500-sheet main input tray and 100-sheet multipurpose tray, accessible via a front panel; and a 350-sheet output tray. You may add tone or two bottom-mounted, 500-sheet feeder trays (CLP-S775A, for $200 each), if you need more. Overall, the unit is quite sturdily constructed. One of our few concerns with regard to the design involves the transfer belt, which is fully exposed when you open the printer's front panel to reach the toner cartridges. If you're not extremely careful, you might easily drop a cartridge on it.

Speed is a good reason to buy a CLP-775ND. Equipped with a 600MHz dual-core processor and 384MB of memory (expandable to 896MB), it printed text pages at a swift rate of 18.1 pages per minute on the PC and 17.5 ppm on the Mac—a good 3 to 4 ppm faster than the average rate posted by other printers in its class. Snapshot-size photos printed at 3.9 ppm, well above the average. The full-page, high-resolution photo we print on the Mac clocked in at 1.8 ppm, one of the fastest times we've recorded. The CLP-775ND's speed printing a PDF document with a mix of text and graphics was a middling 4.5 ppm.

While the CLP-775ND's speed stands out, its output is more pedestrian. Text looks very good, but monochrome graphics slightly less so. Color images have an orange tinge and a noticeably grainy background. The color controls available through the driver help improve the results. Among competing color lasers, the Dell 3130cn is a little slower, but less expensive and better at printing photos.

Economical toner is a highlight of the CLP-775ND. It ships with 3500-page starter cartridges. The sole replacement cartridge size has a 7000-page yield and costs $125 for black, and $182 apiece for cyan, magenta, and yellow. That works out to 1.8 cents per page for black, and 2.6 cents per page for each color. A four-color page would cost a low 9.6 cents. After 50,000 pages, you'll need to replace the transfer belt ($200), adding 0.4 cents per page to the price of the next 50,000 pages.

The Samsung CLP-775ND is a fast color laser that is economical both initially and over time. Larger, busier workgroups may gravitate toward faster and pricier models such as the Lexmark c734dn, but the CLP-775ND should satisfy a wide swath of more mainstream offices.

Review: Epson Artisan 837 offers great photos, cheap inks

The Epson Artisan 837 color inkjet multifunction (print/copy/scan/fax) is a high-end home unit that aims to give you pretty much every feature you could possibly want, plus stunning photo quality. Although its $300 purchase price is high, its ongoing ink costs are quite reasonable.

Setting up the Artisan 837 wirelessly is a breeze, as it offers both WPS and a Wi-Fi wizard. A series of concise and simple-to-understand dialog boxes guides you through the driver and software setup. Overall the Epson software is capable and easy to use. The HTML-based help files are informative and logically laid out, but they're available online only. USB and ethernet connections are also included, for anyone who wants a more secure and reliable connection.

The Artisan 837 is clad in midnight-blue casing that’s a subtle departure from the shiny black everyone seems to be favoring now. On the front you’ll find a 7.8-inch-wide, tiltable control panel that incorporates a 3.5-inch color touchscreen LCD flanked by backlit touch controls. The controls light up contextually, appearing only when required. Although this design is the wave of the future, we still find traditional buttons and LCDs more straightforward. Sometimes we couldn't easily tell whether we had to press something on the LCD or on the control panel, and in a few instances I couldn’t determine how to back out of where we were. Also, the slightly hazy plastic covering the control panel looks a little cheap.

Paper-handling features for the Artisan 837 are very good. It pairs a bottom-mounted, 120-sheet paper tray with an automatic duplexer. Sitting inside the main paper tray is a dedicated, 20-sheet photo-paper tray that accepts media up to 5 by 7 inches in size. The Artisan 837 also handles printable optical media: Touch the CD Tray button, and about 15 seconds later a tray appears, where you can place your CD or DVD. Epson includes a separate application for designing the labels.

In tests, the Artisan 837 proved fast at printing photos, and it did everything else pretty quickly as well. Scanning and copying speeds were brisk. Text pages printed at above-average speeds of 7.4 pages per minute on the PC and 7.3 ppm on the Mac. A snapshot-size photo took 11 seconds (5.4 ppm) printed at default settings on plain paper, and 28 seconds (2.1 ppm) generated at better settings on Epson’s own photo paper. A near-letter-size, high-resolution color photo printed on the Mac emerged at a swift rate of 0.9 ppm.

The Artisan 837 uses a six-ink printing system. The addition of a light cyan and a light magenta is meant to produce better-quality photos—and that's definitely the result we saw, with the Artisan 837’s smooth, accurate, and realistically shaded images. Text output at default settings on plain paper had the soft, slightly gray look typical of Epson products, but its quality improved drastically when we switched the driver to its fine setting.

Even with six cartridges, the Artisan 835's ink costs are low. The high-yield color cartridges cost $16 apiece and yield approximately 805 pages—a hair less than 2 cents per color, per page. The $17.09, 520-page high-yield black comes to 3.3 cents per page. A four-color page (the usual cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) costs a low 9.5 cents total. No standard-size black cartridge exists, but the other standard-size colors each cost $10.44 and last 510 pages, or 2 cents per color, per page.

You get a lot of inkjet multifunction for the money with the Epson Artisan 837. It offers full connectivity, good performance and print quality, and a long list of features, including specialized items such as CD/DVD printing. We look forward to comparing it against other high-end units, such as Canon’s new Pixma MG8220.
