Getting Your Money’s Worth – The HP Color LaserJet 3600n Printer

These days a color laser printer acquisition can be quite challenging. Usually a medium sized usiness will opt for a more price oriented application to the expense of the larger corporate printer. HP Color LaserJet 3600n printer using Q6471a toner caters to this exact niche, being a reliable but price wise machine. A detailed observation for this product will follow.

Physically the printer has a diameter of 15.7 x 17.7 inches. It is clearly smaller, and therefore can be fitted in tighter places, which is a strong point when ergonomy is considered. Small as it may be it still weighs 59.7 lbs, a bit heavier than your average laser printer.

It has a built in Ethernet port so it can be used by the entire office, and it is very easy to install since it automatically detects the parameters of the network it is attached to. A network specialist is no longer required for it’s installation.

The HP Color LaserJet 3600n printer houses a 360 MHz processor and comes equipped with 64 megabyte RAM. It can handle a lot of documents as it is, no need for any memory upgrade, which would also not be possible since there is only one DIMM slot. 64 MB does the job impeccably and it is included from the start.

Being a work-group oriented printer, with speed as an important factor, the HP LaserJet is easily one of the fastest machines in it’s category. It will produce 17 pages per minute for black and white and color materials, with a slight increase in speed for plain black and white prints, but it’s capabilities are revealed once the color printing has begun. The major difference to other machines is that the speed with which it releases color documents does not drop when in this work mode as many other printers do.

The basic kit includes four image drums or toner cartridges. The black toner will produce 6000 pages while the color cartridges, magenta, cyan and yellow are estimated at around 4000 pages. This means that the overall capacity of the printer is better than what most other printers will offer. Another calculation reveals that the average printing cost for monochrome is set at 2.4 cents for every page while color printing is estimated at 3.6 cents per page. This concludes that HP has the best prices on the market.

Besides, the LaserJet 3600n also has a lower power consumption compared to other printers in it’s class, with a full load of just 335 Watts and a standby figure of only 48. There’s no other printer that has such efficiency in it’s budget range.
