HP 4700 Printer Review

The HP LaserJet 4700 color laser printer is designed for the medium or large office environment. It features excellent print quality in both monochrome and color, but it may be too expensive or too bulky for many offices. The LaserJet 1600 toner printer is much better for small offices.

The HP 4700 color laser printer is certainly not compact. Its large paper capacities and fast speeds require a lot of space. The unit measures 39 inches by 23 inches by 27 inches (HWD) and weighs around 218 pounds, making it one of the largest and heaviest models on the market. Fortunately, there are some good design decisions that help users manage such a large machine. The unit comes mounted on a platform that has casters for rolling, and adjustable legs that can be easily screwed into place once the machine is in its spot. There are a variety of models in the series, with different upgrade options and features. They are the 4700N, 4700DN, 4700DTN, and 4700PH+.

Large offices that require a machine in this class have to major needs: speed and capacity, and they won't be disappointed. It has a total paper capacity of 1600 sheets, and can handle a wide variety of media types, including transparencies, glossy paper, cards, and more. It also supports media up to legal size. It has the processing muscle to handle a large number of network users, with a 533 mhz processor and 256 MB of RAM. Monthly duty cycle is an impressive 100,000 pages.

HP LaserJet 4700 toner cartridges are just as impressive as the machine they work in. At 10,000 pages per color laser toner cartridge and 11,000 pages for the black printer toner cartridge, the HP LaserJet toner cartridges provide a much lower cost per page compared to other models, such as LaserJet 2840 toner cartridges. Using third party compatible HP toner cartridges will save money over the OEM versions. Any HP toner cartridge purchased is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee

Print speed is very fast, at 30 pages per minute. What is particularly notable is that the print speed is the same for both monochrome and color printing. Print quality is excellent, due to the 600 dpi printing engine. Text is some of the best quality available in a laser, and color and graphic printing are also above average in quality.

Overall, the LaserJet 4700 is a great choice for the high-volume office environment that needs speed and high capacity. It may be too bulky and expensive for smaller offices and thus the LaserJet 2840 toner.
