Hp Color Laserjet 3500 - Color Laser Printing With Speed
With print speeds locked at 12 pages per minute for both color and black and white, the HP Color Laser Jet 3500 is a mixed bag as far as performance. For color laser printing at this price, the speed is excellent, but when dealing in monochrome, the device comes up quite short. A 22 second first page out time doesn"t help any, concerning speed issues, as this lengthy warm up time is evident not only from power save mode, but from ready mode as well.True 600 x 600 dot per inch print resolution is complemented further by HP"s Image RE 2400 resolution enhancement technology, as well as their quality refinement process which utilizes a multi level printing process for maximum stability and accuracy and, with 64 MBs of included random access memory, processes should run smoothly even under high stress conditions. Unfortunately the memory is not expandable, and extremely complex print jobs may suffer some lag time.
A maximum monthly duty cycle of 45,000 imprinted sheets means that, though print times may run slow, the limit to how many pages the HP Color Laser Jet 3500 outputs is seemingly unreachable, meaning the device should function at one hundred percent capacity even under a heavy workload.
On top of an impressive duty cycle, HP also includes a one year warranty with the product, as well as tech support via telephone or the internet. The 71.5 pound unit may be heavy, but it is built to last, and backed by HPs exchange policy. Its footprint is surprisingly manageable considering its sheer weight, measuring 19 x 17.6 x 18.4 inches (W x D x H), and 19 x 17.6 x 23.8 inches when an optional 500 sheet input tray is incorporated for additional paper storage.
Standard paper storage is fairly decent, with a 250 sheet letter and legal sized tray, plus the welcome addition of a full 100 sheet multi purpose tray that can be used as extra regular paper storage, or for special paper types such as custom letterhead and envelopes. The optional 500 sheet tray brings total potential paper storage capacity to 850 sheets, and a 150 sheet output bin should prove to hold plenty of space for most projects within the HP Color Laser Jet 3500"s performance range.
For network capabilities, HP offers an upgraded version of the unit: the HP Color Laser Jet 3500n which comes with an external Fast Ethernet server for wired networking. The HP Color Laser Jet 3500 itself also leaves the option of 802.11 wireless connectivity open, furthering its standing as a powerful color unit that is also user friendly.
