When considering the HP Color LaserJet CP3505x printer it will quickly become obvious that one is looking at a printer intended for a variety of business needs that also comes with decent print speed and very nice durability. It’s also fairly easy to use, can print product out in black and white or color with the HP Color LaserJet CP3505x toner and can run off of several different operating systems. It’s also an improved member of the 3500 series of HP printers.

“As far as how fast the HP CP3505x can put out product, it’s rated at 22 pages per minute or thereabouts, which is a good rate of speed for a color laser jet printer. This is in what HP refers to as “”best quality mode”" so one can expect print speeds to be slightly faster if dropping the print quality mode just below that criteria point.”

The CP3505x also kicks out product fairly quickly, from the time the print order is sent from a computer until the time the first page of the print job emerges. On average, it’ll only take about 12.5 seconds to accomplish this task, which should serve to keep people from congregating around this network printer when not need or for long periods of time.

“When it comes to durability, Hewlett-Packard has again produced a very nice machine that comes to its users with a 65,000 page per month duty cycle. As far as what “”duty cycle”" means, it’s simply the maximum pages that a printer can image and then kick out within a single month. Actual output is recommended to be between 1,500 and 5,000 pages per month, however.”

When it comes to the quality of the output that the printer delivers to its users, it appears to be generally excellent with resolution as high as 1,200 x 600 dpi. This is for both black and white and color. Speaking of that color capability, this machine will require four separate printer cartridges (black, magenta, yellow and cyan). This is standard for most color printers, by the way.

As far as this HP model and its ability to store paper, the three standard paper trays can handle up to 850 sheets spread out between them. It also has the ability to automatically print on two sides, which is known as duplex, and it can handle a number of different media products such as envelopes, bond paper and labels. Custom media sizes are handled through an included multipurpose tray, as well.

The LaserJet CP 3505x comes supplied with 324 MB of RAM. This can be increased all the way up to 1,024 MB of RAM, meaning that the printer should be able to handle fairly easily most any amount of print taskings sent to it from the network. It will all be prioritized and then produced by means of a 450 MHz processor, which is able to shuffle everything around and then put it out without theatrics.

It’s obvious just from a casual appraisal that the HP Color LaserJet CP3505x printer is intended for purely business use and that it doesn’t come as cheap as one might hope. Presently, it is listing for as high as $3,000, though many websites are selling new models for about $1,500 after discounts. Still, for a machine of such great versatility, this seems a small price to pay for a business-type printer.

You’ll also find excellent prices for HP Color LaserJet CP3505x Toner Cartridges when searching for HP Replacement Toner online. Many e-retailers offer exceptional value for Printer Toner Cartridges, at prices that just can’t be matched locally.
