Product brief - HP Color LaserJet 3600n
Hide

Description: The HP Color Laserjet 3600N is a 17 ppm, color laser printer. Compared to other color lasers on the market, it is very inexpensive at around $370. This unit features 600dpi.

Pros: This printer supports color at a resolution of 600 dpi x 600 dpi. This printer can be plugged directly into a LAN, so it can serve as its own print server. Holding 350 sheets without using optional trays, this product goes longer between refills than many other printers. At 360 MHz this printer has a fast processor, which speeds up the printing of complex documents such as images. (A fast processor allows complex documents to be translated into printed graphics and text at a faster rate.)

Cons: Only prints at 17 ppm speed. This is not out of line with the product's price, but is slower than the average laser printer on the market today. This product does not support two-sided printing.

Suitability: A color laser printer, suited for printing images, presentations, as well as documents in color. This printer is capable of accepting pages up to legal (8.5 in x 14 in) and A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in).

Value: Overall, this laser printer's features are as expected for this price.
