Computer BildSingle testReleaseJune 2025

Gute Druckqualität
hohes Drucktempo
bedruckt auch dickeres Papier

Foto- und Grafikdruck teuer
ein wenig kleiner Papiervorrat
etwas laut

Der äußerst günstige HP Color Laser MFP 178nwg ist spartanisch ausgestattet, überzeugte im Test jedoch mit einer durchweg guten Druckqualität und einem hohen Drucktempo. Weil die Druckkosten zum Teil hoch ausfallen, eignet sich der HP nur für Wenigdrucker - oder für Nutzer, die ein Tonerabo-Modell von HP verwenden. Eine Alternative? Gibt es aktuell in dieser Preisklasse nicht.

PC Welt OnlineSingle testReleaseJune 2020

Compact design
Nearly silent in idle mode

Duplex printing manual only
High page prices
No real off switch

As with its Samsung predecessors, the HP Color Laser MFP 178nwg would actually be an ideal colour laser multifunctional for the home office due to its compact device dimensions. It can also stand right next to you, as the model is so quiet in idle mode that you won't notice it even if you are very sensitive to noise...
