The HP Color LaserJet CP3505x printer is one of a line of up-market laser jet printers in the 3500 series of such office machines offered by Hewlett-Packard. It combines good print speeds in both color and in black-and-white with HP Color LaserJet CP3505x toner, along with excellent durability and ease of use. It’s also a very versatile machine and can run off of a number of different operating systems as well.

“When it comes to the speed with which this Hewlett-Packard can print product, it comes rated with a full 22 ppm of print capability. This print output speed can be increased slightly by selecting a lower mode of print quality, as 22 ppm is for what the company calls “”best quality mode.”" For a business needing slightly faster print speeds, this is a good option to have.”

The CP3505x also kicks out product fairly quickly, from the time the print order is sent from a computer until the time the first page of the print job emerges. On average, it’ll only take about 12.5 seconds to accomplish this task, which should serve to keep people from congregating around this network printer when not need or for long periods of time.

“This particular Hewlett-Packard is also durable and it comes rated with a duty cycle of 65,000 pages per month. What’s meant by “”duty cycle”" is the fact that the printer has a maximum number of pages that it can image and then produce within a month. For purposes of actual monthly output before very minor maintenance is needed, the printer should be set at 1,500 to 5,000 pages.”

Print quality with this HP model is very nice, and the product that emerges will look clean and clear at 1,200 x 600 dpi (dots per inch). This quality comes in both color and black-and-white product, by the way. Remember; a laser jet printer will require four different print cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow and black). This is nothing new for any laser jet printer.

This particular unit from HP also comes with three standard printer trays that can hold up to 850 sheets of paper between them. It is also fairly well equipped and can perform automatic duplex (two-sided) printing whenever needed. The printer can handle a variety of media types, including bond paper, labels and envelopes. As well, there’s a multipurpose tray that can hold a number of different custom media size objects.

Standard supplied memory is outstanding at 324 MB of RAM. This can be upgraded to a full 1,024 MB of RAM, which should be more than enough memory for even the largest networked workgroup anticipated to be clients of this kind of printer. All of this is handled through a 450 MHz processor, meaning that print orders — no matter the number of them — should be processed quickly and efficiently.

This printer is intended for business use, which means that it won’t come cheap. It has listed for as much as $3,000 in the past, though a number of online retailers are selling new units for about $1,500. In all, there seems to be a great deal of capability when it comes to the HP Color LaserJet CP3505x printer, meaning it should be an ideal candidate for most businesses.

The HP Color LaserJet CP3505x Toner Cartridges is one expense for this machine that will be ongoing and finding HP Laser Toner at a great price should be a business priority. Fortunately, online retailers offer all Toner at what you will find as a best price.
