The HP Color LaserJet CP4005dn is perplexingly easy to structure; although, it is quite tedious to carry.   The printer is quite large at 24.7-inches tall, 20.5-inches wide, 23.5-inches deep, and 107 pounds.   It is best to put the printer together wherever it is going to be used.  Users may find solace in the triviality of snapping the printer together.  The network is straightforward.  Just plug the cable in and take advantage of the automated installation process.

Cons:

While the marketing software is effective, it can be overwhelming, leaving the user yearning for a more simpler high-impact marketing tool.  The paper handling may be limiting for some people or organizations.  It has a maximum 1,100 sheet capacity.  It is dreadful HP decided not to embed wireless-ability for the printer.
