HP Color LaserJet CP4005n Printer Review

If colour laser printers were sold by the kilogram, HPs Color LaserJet CP4005n would be well worth its asking price. If you ignore its 48kg weight, though, which is a good two-person lift, you start to wonder why even a workgroup printer like this one needs to be quite so massive.

This machine is over half a metre in every dimension and one has to assume that the size is tied to the machine’s duty cycle of 80,000 pages per month and its comparatively high print speeds of 25ppm in colour and 30ppm in black. Even so, it’s not a desktop machine, unless you allocate it a desk to itself.

..The Color LaserJet 4005n does pretty much what you’d expect of a workgroup colour laser. It prints fast and with fair quality, particularly for business graphics. Its high duty cycle and good network support make it an ideal vehicle for heavy office use, but we still wonder why it itself has to be quite so big and heavy.
