HO-SANGDESKTOP printers in this age of virtual reality, cyber-space and rapid technological change are expected to be silent, fast, economical and above-all efficient.
However as in all consumer markets there are good buys, great buys and absolute rip-offs.
Hong Kong computer salesman Patrick Kwok offers this advice to would be printer punters: 'Go with quality, as if you want to ensure reliability it's best to dig a little deeper into the pocket and spending a bit more on a high-class brand name,'.
Mr Kwok offers the Hewlett Packard LaserJet 5L as an example of a top product made by a recognised big player in the increasingly competitive computer industry.
'If you want an excellent printer which guarantees to produce high quality documents a HP LaserJet 5L is a can't miss buy,' Mr Kwok says. For about HK$3,900 the HP LaserJet 5L is touted by suppliers as being ideal for the executive who wants to add the professional, typesetting appeal of laser printing to day-to-day business documents.
To add this professional printing touch the LaserJet 5L comes complete with 26 scalable typefaces, HP Resolution Enhancement technology and a microfine toner to further enhance quality.
