CNET product brief

Description: The IBM InfoPrint 1572N is a 50 ppm, monochrome workgroup laser printer.Compared to other monochrome workgroup lasers on the market, it is midpriced at around $925.This unit has a maximum resolution of 1200dpi.

Pros: Prints at 50 ppm speed, which is somewhat faster than some similarly priced lasers.In fact, the average cost of a product with this fast a speed is $1,295.Also, this laser printer with paper trays installed, this printer has a capacity of 4100 sheets total capacity, which is somewhat more than some similarly priced lasers.This printer?s ethernet capability enables it to be made available on the network without tying it to any one server.At 514 MHz this printer has a fast processor, which speeds up the printing of complex documents such as images.(A fast processor allows complex documents to be translated into printed graphics and text at a faster rate.)

Cons: At 600 sheet, without additional trays, the IBM InfoPrint 1572N doesn't handle as many printouts between refills than do most of its competitors.This unit does not support two-sided printing.This printer requires optional trays to achieve its 4100 sheets, which is 3500 more than its out-of the box capacity.

Suitability: Designed for those who need high volume black and white printing.This printer can handle A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in) and legal (8.5 in x 14 in) documents.

Value: In general, this laser printer's features are as expected for this price.Still, based purely off of resolution, a workgroup laser printer would normally cost 20% less.

CNET editors' buying advice

We have not reviewed this product but here is CNET's buying advice on Laser Printers. This content was chosen based on the features included with this model of laser printer.

Corporate cog

If you need a workhorse that can keep up with your small business or team within a larger organization, a workgroup laser printer is an obvious choice. Designed to juggle multiple print jobs, these systems have faster processors, more memory, and print engines that are capable of churning out more than 20 pages per minute. But these $400-and-up printers are more than souped-up personal lasers; they offer workgroup features, such as network printing, high-capacity toner cartridges, and larger paper input and output trays.
