When considering the HP Color LaserJet CP3505x printer it will quickly become obvious that one is looking at a printer intended for a variety of business needs that also comes with decent print speed and very nice durability. It's also fairly easy to use, can print product out in black and white or color with the HP Color LaserJet CP3505x toner cartridges and can run off of several different operating systems. It's also an improved member of the 3500 series of HP printers.

"When it comes to the speed with which this Hewlett-Packard can print product, it comes rated with a full 22 ppm of print capability. This print output speed can be increased slightly by selecting a lower mode of print quality, as 22 ppm is for what the company calls ""best quality mode."" For a business needing slightly faster print speeds, this is a good option to have."

The CP3505x also kicks out product fairly quickly, from the time the print order is sent from a computer until the time the first page of the print job emerges. On average, it'll only take about 12.5 seconds to accomplish this task, which should serve to keep people from congregating around this network printer when not need or for long periods of time. HP bulk toner helps achieve this.

"This HP model is also fairly durable, with a rated monthly duty cycle of 65,000 pages. For those who don't know, ""duty cycle"" is the max number of pages per month a printer can image and then put out. Hewlett-Packard says that maximum monthly pages required of the printer should run between 1,500 and 5,000 before performing very basic and easy-to-do maintenance."

Print quality with this HP model is very nice, and the product that emerges will look clean and clear at 1,200 x 600 dpi (dots per inch). This quality comes in both color and black-and-white product, by the way. Remember; a laser jet printer will require four different print cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow and black). This is nothing new for any laser jet printer.

This particular unit from HP also comes with three standard printer trays that can hold up to 850 sheets of paper between them. It is also fairly well equipped and can perform automatic duplex (two-sided) printing whenever needed. The printer can handle a variety of media types, including bond paper, labels and envelopes. As well, there's a multipurpose tray that can hold a number of different custom media size objects.

The LaserJet CP 3505x comes supplied with 324 MB of RAM. This can be increased all the way up to 1,024 MB of RAM, meaning that the printer should be able to handle fairly easily most any amount of print taskings sent to it from the network. It will all be prioritized and then produced by means of a 450 MHz processor, which is able to shuffle everything around and then put it out without theatrics.

This printer is intended for business use, which means that it won't come cheap. It has listed for as much as $3,000 in the past, though a number of online retailers are selling new units for about $1,500. In all, there seems to be a great deal of capability when it comes to the HP Color LaserJet CP3505x printer, meaning it should be an ideal candidate for most businesses.
