HP Neverstop 1001nw Laser Printer Review Summary.

So, what is so different about the HP Neverstop 1001nw laser printer?

Everybody wants the lowest cost per printed page at the highest quality of printing performance. The HP Neverstop 1001nw printer achieves that with incredible innovation.

Instead of using a separate toner cartridge like any other HP laser printer, the HP Neverstop 1001nw uses a rechargeable toner hopper with all the traditional components associated with a laser cartridge integrated into the printer. Through this, you will immediately save money as all of those components last far longer than the toner in the cartridge.

In addition, while a toner cartridge needs to be replaced regularly, the HP Neverstop 1001nw has an inbuilt imaging drum. This comes with an extremely useful lifetime of up to 20,000 printer pages before it will need replacing. Combine that with the hopper that can hold enough toner to print up to 5,000 pages, the HP Neverstop 1001nw is built to, well, never stop!

The toner syringe is locked into the hopper and the toner is injected into the hopper. The process takes just 15 seconds to complete with no mess as shown by the video below.

Printing Performance.
