HP 3700 Toner Based Printer Offers Professional Quality Color Prints

Overview

For professional-looking results in full color and with the backing of a brand that offers a strong commitment to quality workmanship, the HP Color LaserJet 3700 is a great choice. This network-ready laser printer offers results best suited for small offices and workgroups that need quality prints with a minimum of hassle.

Features and Functionality

The HP Color LaserJet 3700 offers print speeds of up to 16 pages per minute, with a first page output in as little as 18 seconds. Actual speed times may vary depending on the level of color toner usage and the complexity of the document, but most users find that the 350MHz processor and 128MB of memory are more than enough to keep wait times low.

Paper runs through a fairly straight path on this particular model, which reduces the chances of paper jams or malfunctions. It can hold up to 350 pages in all, with options for envelopes, letter and legal-size paper, heavy weight paper, or other modern media. A secondary 500-sheet tray can be purchased and installed separately, and the same great results are offered no matter what is being printed or what it's being printed on, courtesy of a strong 600 x 600 dpi resolution.

This model offers superior toner options, with HP LaserJet 3700 cartridges available with yields of up to 6,000 pages each. Cyan (part number Q2681A), Magenta (part number Q2683A), and Yellow (part number Q2682A) cartridges are easy to install and order when supplies run low, and each one offers the same great quality with HP's ImageREt 2400 technology.

The HP Color LaserJet 3700 can be hooked up to a single user via either the USB or Parallel port. Advanced connectivity options are available via the internal print server for Ethernet networking. A high 55,000 page monthly duty cycle ensures that multiple users can all tap into the machine without worrying about overextending its capabilities.

The ease of use of the HP 3700 is one of its hallmark features. The easy-to-read LCD screen alerts you when supplies are low, and the included software allows you to monitor toner levels and troubleshooting issues from your own computer. It doesn't matter whether you have a Windows-based operating system or if you rely on a Mac to get your work done – both types of computers are compatible with this printer and all its features.

Why Choose the HP Color LaserJet 3700 Printer?

Although the initial price on the HP LaserJet 3700 is fairly high, this is considered a cost-effective business machine. It is designed for use in a shared workgroup setting (between 2 and 15 users), with the ability to eliminate much of the need for generating prints from an outside provider. It's also an Energy Star qualified machine that, when paired with high-yield HP LaserJet 3700 toner supplies, means users can strengthen their bottom line for as long as they continue to rely on the printer.
