HP COLOR LASERJET 3600DN COLOR TONER CARTRIDGES SET

HP Color LaserJet 3600dn Review

Overview:

Every office needs a reliable printer that can print out at fast speeds and produce high quality. The HP Color LaserJet 3600dn can do this, plus more. It obviously has the ability to print out in color, as well as the added functionality of duplex printing as well as network ability. Read below to find out more information on this fantastic printer.

Pros:

Duplex printing is one of the many brilliant features that this printer is capable of. Duplex printing is basically a way of printing on more than one side of the page automatically, meaning the machine will turn the paper around itself. A lot of printers don't have this feature, and therefore the user will have to turn the paper around manually. By having this very useful feature on the device it has many good perks. It can save the office paper, as you are printing on more than one side. This then saves the business money as they are using less paper. Also, it makes printing on both sides much easier for the end user.

Another excellent feature that is included is the ability to print over a network. Almost every office in this day and age will have a network system in place. This allows more than one computer to connect to a device or hard drive, meaning much easier access to files. You can use this network connection to connect to the printer. This makes it possible for a lot of different computers to all use the same printer at the same time. This can save you a lot of time, as with printers without network connectivity will have to be connected through a different way such as USB. Connecting via a network is also much more convenient, especially in the office. In a home environment, then a USB connection might be possible without disturbing your workflow.

Obviously this machine prints in color, as seen by what its called. However, many printers that do print in color can have bad quality. The 3600dn however, prints out in quite good quality. It can reach a 600 by 600 dpi resolution, which is what you would expect from a machine of this standard. Also, it prints out at a high speed. Most printers can print out fast in black and white, but lack this on the color function. This specific printer can reach the same speed in both. It can print out at 17 pages per minute in black and white, and 17 pages per minute in color. This is a very fast rate, especially for color. Companies that are reliant on fast printing will find this speed very good.

The size of the printer is also fairly good. It measures at around 15.7" W x 17.7" D x 16.7" H. This makes it able to fit in around most small office spaces. The printer is also fairly new having only been released in late 2012. This means that a lot of support will be giving.

Cons:

Although not a disadvantage to some, the speed at which this runs at might not be enough for some offices. This all depends on your office size, and if you are working in an office that is larger than a small environment, then you should think about investing in a faster machine. This is because with a lot of people all using the same machine, then it will require a faster printing speed.

Also, if you are primarily looking for a colored printer, then the quality might not be as good as you think. At 600 by 600 dpi then this will offer a standard quality, but not a very high quality print. If you are working in a company that is mainly based on graphical design, then this quality might not be good enough.


For a small company that isn't reliant on very high quality printing in both black and white and color, then this could be the printer for you. It is relatively fast for a small business, and has the added ability of duplex printing and network connectivity.
