Rock-Bottom Total Cost of Ownership: |
The Hewlett-Packard Officejet Pro K5400 (launched in the spring of this year) has a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) model in theOfficejet Pro range that currently has no match.
Hewlett-Packard Officejet Pro K5400: A High Performer
| With an initial purchase price with Officemagic at only £77, the HP OfficeJet Pro K5400 is ideally priced for a single function business-oriented desktop inkjet printer. Utilising Hewlett-Packard’s fastest inkjet print engine, black print speed (at 36ppm) is just 1ppm short of the current record set by Epson and yet colour pages can print as fast as 35ppm. At normal print quality (which equates to correspondence quality), the print speed is 16ppm for black pages and 15ppm for colour pages. |
Low Running Costs = Low Total Cost of Ownership
Standard paper capacity on the K5400 is a healthy 250 sheets and there is the option of adding a second paper feed that offers another 350-sheet capacity, taking maximum capacity to 600 sheets from two sources – a level that is every bit as good as a number of the low-end colour laser printers.
With the Hewlett-Packard Officejet Pro K5400 , Hewlett-Packard has followed its standard model range structure, meaning that customers should look at the dt model for autoduplexing and dual feeds. Each of these features is available as an optional extra to the base model.
Maximum duty cycle for the K5400 is set at 7,500 pages per month, a figure that is much higher than the average inkjet printer and gives plenty of leeway for small businesses. Perhaps the most significant feature of the Officejet Pro range though, is the fact that they utilise individual and independent ink tanks and two long-life (41,500 pages), replaceable print heads that contain nozzles for two colours each. At this level, they far exceed the life expectancy of most low-end laser printer OPC drums.
These independent ink tanks are high capacity, providing a massive 2,450 pages from the black and 1,750 pages from each colour and each can be replaced on its own, as required. So, users can expect to end up with an overall Cost of Printing under the 2p level if they print 500 pages per month. For higher-volume users, the savings grow further.
Even for users printing as little as 125 pages per month (6 pages per work day), the K5400 is still the best value option, with a long-term CPP of approx 4p – 29% lower than any of the alternative printers (the closest of which just happens to be Hewlett-Packard’s own Deskjet D6940).
While the K5400 is perfectly well capable of printing photo quality images onspecialty media, this is not what the Officejet Pro series is designed for. The one feature it lacks, therefore, is a borderless printing capability. This should not, however, be a major issue for the type of businesses for which this printer is designed.
To conclude, the OfficeJet Pro K5400 should be the best value proposition for a very wide range of business users. Even with colour laser printers costing so little to buy, the long-term Cost of Printing of the K5400 is very much lower than that of typical low-end colour laser printers.
