HP CM3530 Printer Review

The HP LaserJet CM3530 color laser printer is a multifunction device designed for the small or medium office environment. It combines an affordable upfront price with fast speeds and reasonable toner costs to provide a great solution for the small office.

The HP CM3530 color laser printer comes in two configurations. The CM3530 is the base model, while the CM3530fs, or CM3530fs MFP, adds faxing capabilities. Both models can print, scan, and copy. While the multifunction features are impressive, they don't come at the sacrifice of print speed or quality, so users get a full-featured printer with the bonus of extra functions for the office. Paper capacity is 350 sheets, and can be expanded to a maximum of 850 sheets by adding an optional 500-sheet drawer.

Scanning is one of the best features of the unit. Scanning at resolutions up to 600 dpi are supported, and it can scan in both color and monochrome. Furthermore, scans can be sent to email, FTP servers, network folders, and a variety of other locations, making it very convenient to scan a document at the machine and send it to wherever it needs to go.

HP LaserJet CM3530 toner cartridges give a low cost per page. The black printer toner cartridge has a yield of 5,100 pages, and the high-yield version has a yield of 10,500 pages. Each color laser toner cartridge has a capacity of 7,100 pages, but high-yield color cartridges are not available. HP CM3530 toner cartridges are very easy to access and replace.

Print speed is impressive for the price, at up to 30 pages per minute for both black and color prints. Print quality is very good. Text is sharp and detailed, and graphics and photo quality is better than average for a laser.

Overall, the HP LaserJet CM3530 is a solid multifunction device that is affordable and fast. It should make a solid choice for any small office.
