HP Business Inkjet 1200 printer series
Low cost colour. High performance.
Lowered costs, increased returns
HPs low running-cost colour printer1, the HP Business Inkjet 1200 printer series is the ideal solution for high-productivity individuals or small workteams in general office environments. Four separate ink cartridges, automatic two-sided printing2, built-in wireless networking3, fast print speeds, and 4800 x 1200-optimised dpi colour printing on premium photo paper enable the printer to deliver quality, performance and cost savings in one economical package. So you can maximise your investment as well as your office productivity.
Keep costs reined in easily
With four individual high-capacity replacement ink cartridges that hold a single colour each, you replace only that colour when a cartridge runs out. This eliminates waste, saves you money, and helps deliver consistent quality prints at a low cost per page. For even greater savings, the four printheads, rated at 16,000 pages for black and 24,000 pages for colour, are separate from the cartridgeyou dont throw away a functional printhead when replacing an empty cartridge. To further reduce both downtime and running costs, a unique ink cartridge pressurisation system maintains a constant supply of ink to the long-life printheads at all times. Printhead nozzle clogging is minimised with the printers unique wetwiping system that eliminates wasteful ink-spitting and nozzle-flushing procedures.
Only replace the cartridge that has run out

Add colour affordably

The high capacity ink cartridges have a yield of up to 1,750 pages (based on 5% ink coverage per colour), reducing the number of times you have to replace ink cartridges. Along with HP Smart printing technology4, which automatically adjusts HP print supplies for the best print quality and optimum yields, it adds up to reduced cost per page for you.

Studies show that color improves comprehension, increases readership, accelerates learning, and reflects a professional image. More than ever before, businesses are discovering a need to produce high-quality color documents. The HP Business Inkjet 1200 series printer puts you in control of the color printing process: Create external communications in color for a professional appearance, such as letterhead and business cards. Develop full-color attention-getting marketing collateral that differentiates your business from the competition, such as brochures and flyers. Use color to design more effective, persuasive internal communications, including reports, proposals, and presentations. Print frequently updated materials in-house and make changes at a moments notice, reducing outsourcing expenses, storage costs, and the waste of obsolete materials. Data travels quickly, at speeds up to 54 Mbps across distances of up to 100 feet (30.5 meters). The printer provides a simple, secure connection to an 802.11b/g wireless network and is Wi-Fi certified to work reliably with other 802.11b/g wireless products. Security features include Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA Pre-Shared Key).
Simple printer management software
The remote management software simplifies printer configuration and lets you easily manage a networked printer from any standard Web browser. In addition, the software includes features to help you manage costs: Job accounting Allows administrators to track and monitor each users usage (for example, the type and number of pages printed and black and color ink usage). This information can be used by administrators to track printer deployment, workload, and the purchase of supplies. Pages remaining Lets you see the estimated number of pages that can be printed with the remaining ink for full color, business color, or black text documents. You can also determine if the ink levels are sufficient to print your jobs. Diagnostics Helps you perform troubleshooting and maintenance tasks, such as testing the printers media paths, aligning printheads, and cleaning printheads. Administrators can also configure network settings, including wireless security settings for the printer.

Low cost black and color solution
HP recently conducted a study to find the lowest-cost solution for both black-only and color office printing. The findings show that for small to medium businesses and workgroups, replacing existing separate black-only laser and color inkjet printers with a single, low-cost business-class color inkjet printer provides the following benefits: superior total cost of ownership lowered printer management costs convenience of using one printer, rather than two The study also found that contrary to popular belief, there is very little difference in cost per page whether printing black pages on a laser printer or a business-class inkjet printer. The HP Business Inkjet 1200 series printer is a low cost business printing solutiondesigned to print both color and black-only office documents quickly and affordably.
