Unfortunately, the LaserJet 1300's fast-moving prints do not look as good as they should, especially when compared alongside prints from comparable personal laser printers on the market today. The text output of the LaserJet 1300 lacked the definition and clarity you'd expect from a laser printer. Letters looked faint, and smaller fonts were not fully formed, with bumps in the text and the serifs; graphics prints suffered even more from the faint output. And the grayscale images were inconsistent, although banding was quite clear in all. Diagonal lines were choppy, as they were in the text tests.
