If your small office needs a printer that can be shared, the HP Color LaserJet CP3505dn printer using HP Color LaserJet CP3505dn toner may work well for you. This printer comes with both the standard print driver, as well as an alternative one which allows users to have a print previews. It even gives you guidance as the least expensive way to print large volumes of documents, whether by using this printer or by sending the work out for printing.

This printer is part of a family of three printers in the CP3505 line from HP. The CP3505n is the base model that does only single sided prints. The CP3505dn adds the duplex unit (two sided prints) to the features of this machine. The CP3505x includes both the duplex unit and a second paper tray that increases the paper capacity to 850 sheets of paper. That same tray can be purchased as an option for the CP3505n or CP3505dn. The duplex unit cannot be purchased separately. Other than these two features, the machines are identical.

This printer is not overly large, but may be found too large to fit onto your desk top. It weighs almost sixty pounds, so it would not hurt to have a helper to get it into place. Once it is there, you simply remove packing materials, plug in the cables and power cord and then allow the machine to do its own installation on your network.

The quality of the prints made by this machine is of adequate quality for most applications. Sometimes if printing text there may be certain combinations of letters that run together, however this does not cause most people any problems.

In graphics, as well as color prints, there may be some graininess as well as some places where there is a slight unevenness in the prints. Most graphics, however, will work well, especially for internal use.

Photo prints seem to be good. They would be fine in newsletters or in other handouts. In particular, printing Web pages that include photos should be no problem.

Many users may find that the cost estimator is useful, while others will not find it all that helpful. Laser printers are generally a good tool for printing advertising brochures, but when the number of copies moves to the thousands, you may find a price break at the print shop. In addition, if your copy includes large numbers of photos or a large coverage on the page, you may save money by having the printing done at a shop.

The alternative print view driver that allows for print preview allows the user to see what the prints will look like before printing. This is helpful if you need to adjust settings to get the best possible view of your prints.

This HP printer is a less expensive option than many other printers, with extraordinary value in the HP Color LaserJet CP3505dn printer toner cartridge. The HP replacement toner does a good job at producing economical laser prints. Enjoy an additional price break on toner refills orders.
