HP COLOR LASERJET 3600 COLOR TONER CARTRIDGES SET

review - HP Color LaserJet 3600 Review

Overview:

Every business should have the option for color printing sometimes. This will make the business stand out from the rest, and allows you to add color to logos for example. The HP Color LaserJet 3600 is built to do just this, and not only gives you fast speeds with black and white, but also with color printing. Add to this the quality and reliability, and you have a very powerful printer that any business would be happy with.

Pros:

Speed and color are the obvious advantages with the LaserJet 3600. It can print out at a speed of 17 pages per minute when printing in black and white and also 17 pages per minute when printing out in color. This is a very fast speed, especially when printing in color. You will probably not find a printer that can match this speed in color at this price, which is a main selling point with this machine. At 17 pages per minute, it is best suited to a small office. Although it can still be used for personal use or use within a home office. It is also aimed at businesses that are wanting and need to print out in color.

It comes with software developed by HP. This helps you create reports and tables, to presentations and flyers. This can then be printed out using the vibrant colors of the printer. Having these options is very important, and it allows you to promote the business. The addition of color when printing a business is very important, and if used in the right way can attract more customers and make your business look better.

The printer also has very good quality. It can reach a quality of around 600 dpi, but there is a small feature that really makes this printer stands out. The printer has a media type sensor built in. This will determine what type of paper is being used in the machine. With this information, the printer will then automatically adjust its print settings and optimizes the print quality for the types of paper being used. This is helpful as you don't have to manually do it yourself, but also means that the quality of the print will be increased depending on what type of paper is used.

The printer only uses four types of colors, including black. This means that no matter what color you want to achieve, the printer will only use those four colors to achieve it. This is a very useful feature. It means that when the cartridges need to be changed, and then there are only four different cartridges to change. This makes it much easier than changing a lot of different colors, but also will save you money. You won't need to buy colors that you might not be using as much as others, and therefore won't waste money.

Cons:

The printer doesn't have any wired or wireless network connectivity. A network is something that almost every office will use, and if you cannot connect a new device to it, it might not fit around your working area. By not using a network, the machine will have to connect to computers separately using USB. If network connectivity was available, it would mean that more than one computer could connect to it, as long as everything was connected to the network as a whole.

The lack of other features is also discouraging. It doesn't have the ability to do duplex printing. This is where the printer will automatically turn the document around in order to print on both sides, and therefore saving paper and money. If you want this, you will have to turn the paper around yourself, which would cost you time.


For a small office that doesn’t require network connectivity, then this machine could be suited to you. It is powerful in the way it prints out - at high speeds and good quality. In fact, you will find it hard to find a printer in this price range that can print out 17 pages every minute in color.
