HP CP4005 Printer Review

The HP Color LaserJet CP4005n is a color laser printer designed for large offices and workgroups. It is designed with high-volume printing in mind, with a duty cycle of 80,000 pages per month, which is an exponential larger duty cycle when compared to personal printers like the HP 1600 toner printer. The design of the printer is large and heavy. At 104 pounds and over 22 inches high, it is one of the largest, heaviest printers on the market. This will need to be a consideration for placement and maintenance, as the printer will not fit in tight spaces and can not be easily moved if maintenance is required.

The printer boasts high printing speeds of 30 pages per minute black and 25 pages per minute in color. The first page out time is 10 seconds when the machine is not in sleep mode, so printing starts quickly. The HP toner cartridges have a capacity of 7,500 pages each. The 600 dpi maximum resolution might be disappointing to those who expect 1200 dpi in a printer of this size and price, but print quality is still sharp and clear. The paper tray holds 500 sheets, with a multi-purpose tray that adds another 100 sheets.

The HP CP4005n includes a USB port and an ethernet port, which allows the printer to be directly connected to the network for easy printer sharing, requiring very little setup to make the printer available to the entire network. It is also possible to log into the printer's software from any computer on the network to manage settings, check printer toner levels, and access other functions. The LCD panel is large enough to give plenty of useful information to the user. Despite the large and heavy design, changing the HP LaserJet toner cartridges is simple and easy to do.

Overall, the HP Color LaserJet CP4005n is a printer designed for large offices who need a printer capable of high-volume printing. Assuming that the size and weight is not an issue, this printer will not disappoint.
