The HP LaserJet 1018 is a compact, inexpensive, alternative to more expensive laser printers. It’s small size and low price tag make it perfect for the small office, home business or even just for every day family use.

The HP 1018 costs around $129, making it comparable in cost to some high end inkjets. If you’ve been looking for high quality b&w printing, then the HP 1018 might be a good solution for you without breaking the bank.

Just because the price tag and size are small, doesn’t mean this printer can’t stand up there with the big boys. This little printer is quite fast and can print up to 12 pages per minute in clear, quality black and white print. The cost of the new print cartridges is sort of scary at first, they run around $70. However, these cartridges last longer than most that you might be used to. I’m finding one or two cartridges lasting longer than a 6 pack of cartridges would have with my old printer.

Another option to keep this printer even more affordable and budget friendly is to shop around for recycled cartridges. A lot of times you can pick these up for way less than the typical new cartridge. It’s just a matter of finding the right provider to get cartridges for your printer model.
