HP 3700 Printer Review

The HP Color LaserJet 3700 is a color laser printer designed for the small or medium office environment, whereas printers like the HP 1600 toner printer are for personal use. It offers excellent print quality and built-in networking, but it is bulkier and slower than competing products.

The HP LaserJet 3700 makes a great choice for a networked office environment, as its 'N' model comes with a built-in ethernet port. It can be connected directly to the network and shared among multiple computers. The printer also includes an internal web server, which allows users to manage print jobs, change settings, and view status from their network computer without having to make a trip to the printer. This can be a real time saver and increase productivity. A great complimentary printer that adds mult-function capability is the HP 2840 toner printer.

The standard paper capacity is a generous 350 sheets, but this can be expanded to a maximum of 850 sheets with optional upgrades. Unfortunately, the paper upgrade is a little expensive, so buyers might be better off looking for a printer with more capacity to start with.

HP LaserJet 3700 toner cartridges are very easy to replace. HP 3700 toner cartridges have a capacity of 6,100 pages each, and there are four HP 3700 cartridges: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. HP LaserJet 3700 toner cartridges are fairly inexpensive, resulting in a low cost per page, and using compatible HP toner cartridges rather than the more expensive HP cartridges will save even more money. Rest assured when purchasing a compatible HP toner cartridge as all are backed by our satisfaction guarantee.

The HP LaserJet 3700 tends to be a bit bulkier than many competing printers, and doesn't have as much speed or paper capacity as one might expect from a larger printer. Print speed is only 16 pages per minute, a bit disappointing. Print quality is excellent. Text is sharp and defined, and graphics prints are better than average. Colors are sometimes inaccurate, and there is some noticeable banding and blotchiness in some color prints.

Overall, the HP Color LaserJet 3700 is a solid printer with excellent quality, but its extra size doesn't offer any other advantages. Its slow speeds and high price tag make it a less valuable proposition than the competition.
