Pros:

It takes the HP Color LaserJet 4650n printer roughly 22 pages per minute to print in color or black.  With the printer's flexibility in paper-management, the printer can hold up to at least 1,600 sheets.  The calibration system enables users to turn on the machine and print a page in as little as 15 seconds.  Where complex documents come into play, the maximum 544 Mega Bytes of memory and 533 MHz processor will produce documents effortlessly.  It has all the makings a growing business needs with its recommended 85,000 monthly duty cycle. 

Color and Black resolution rests at 600 x 600 dots per inch in resolution.  The low dots per inch resolution are accommodated by HP ImageREt 3600 technology.  HP ImageREt technology is a compilation of technologies that assist in delivering quality prints.  The imaging system is a dual-beam high-resolution scanner.  With its accurate print mechanisms, various edge control enhancements like Color Ret, Halo Reduction, Adaptive Half-Toning, and Trapping will produce professional-quality prints.  Its intelligent calibration consists of features like Environmental Compensation, Strategic Timing, and Automatic Closed Loop Color Calibration.  The media handling features are quite intelligent too.

For those who are interested in flexibility of printers, they will be pleased to know that the 4650n can incorporate an optional hard disk.  The standard connectivity consists of a USB 1.1, Fast Ethernet Jetdirect 620n print server, bidirectional IEEE-1284-C, and 2 EIO slots.  The optional connectivity features like EIO print servers (10Base-T/10Base2) Ethernet, wireless Token Ring 802.11b, USB and Serial, and Bluetooth adaptability are what makes this printer a networker's dream.  The standard paper capacity for the HP 4650n is 600 sheets.  HP backs the HP Color LaserJet 4650n printer with support and first-class warranty.  The warranty is a standard one-year agreement.

Cons:

The printer starts off  160 Mega Bytes of memory.  While the 4650dtn/4640hdn can automatically duplex print, the two-sided printing feature for the 4650n is manual.  Physical human-intervention is imminent if the end-user requires a bundle of two-sided prints.  While the more dots per inch resolution can increase the quality of documents, the dots per inch factor can be overrated.  Still, it would be nice to see HP include a higher resolution of up to at least 1200 x 1200 dots per inch for Color.  The printer does not scan, copy, or fax.
