Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Hewlett-Packard Color LaserJet 4500N is a hefty workhorse for office habitats that need a large-capacity color printer. Hewlett-Packard effectively accomplishes this by offering advanced HP Image Resolution Enhancement technology (HP ImageREt 2400) and 600 dpi resolution for a fast four pages per minute in full color and a sensational 16 pages per minute for black. Combining 400-sheet capacity and rapid printing with automatic color calibration ensures consistent, high-quality printing and color over the life of the printer, in diverse environmental settings and between printers.

Two paper trays (and an optional third) support Hewlett-Packard Color LaserJet 4500N's impressive input capacity of 400 sheets and 250-sheet output. Printing a full range of professional stationary and envelopes (No. 10 and Monarch), plus transparencies and labels, is assisted by the new expanded control panel messages to identify potential issues and recommend solutions. Another benefit appreciated by the whole staff is that the toner cartridge installs quickly with no mess and no mistakes.

HP Web JetAdmin Network Printer Management software is simple to install and configure, intelligible to manage, and can be used to troubleshoot network printers right from your desktop. HP JetDirect 600N (EIO) Internal Print Servers provide a simple, reliable connection to all major network operating systems and network types.

The Hewlett-Packard Color LaserJet 4500N is compatible with Windows and Macintosh, and comes with a one-year onsite warranty. HP ColorSmart II automatically furnishes optimal color settings with industry standard sRGB color management. Overall, the Hewlett- Packard Color LaserJet 4500N's easy connectivity and manageability, high- capacity output, 64 MB of memory, and 80 built-in typefaces make it a most welcome addition to your team.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Printer for the Money, January 5, 2001
By 
Tony Corrao (Brecksville, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: HP Color LaserJet 4500N Printer (Office Product)
I have used my 4500 for about 6 months now and could not be more in love with it. I have owned about 6-7 color inkjets before this and finally made the big move to color laser. You can print perfect photos on just about any kind of paper. I would like to see some "true" glossy paper on the market for photos, however. Most specialty papers for inkjet printers (mostly glossy) will not work with the laserjet because of the heat. Keep in mind you can not do heat transfers with a laserjet printer. There are four cartridges that make up the 4500's color. They are VERY expensive, but I am still using the same one that came with the printer and have printed well over a thousand photos. Long term is much cheaper to run than an inkjet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality, Quality, Quality, June 29, 2000

This review is from: HP Color LaserJet 4500N Printer (Office Product)
This is a great color printer. I have been using this in my office since the beginning of the year. The quality of the color is unbelievable. When I use it with my hp scanner, it is difficult to tell the difference between the original and the scanned output. While I haven't used it with a digital camera, I suspect that the result is similar.

Negatives are few. Obviously, the purchase price is a factor. It is also expensive to operate in comparison to ink jet printers. Each color has its own cartrige, which costs about $100. While the printer comes with a starter set, you'll want a spare of each color. Just think... you're printing that perfect digital image of your favorite subject, and the blue runs out. These cartriges are not stocked at your local office supply store. If you have any significant volume of printing, you will need to purchase a replacement drum kit. (I know it sounds odd, but this is normal.) You may also want to add on a duplexer; this costs over twice the cost of a duplexer on most other printers.

I don't quite agree with the other reviewers about the speed of this printer in black and white. If you are comparing it to low end desk jet printers, then I guess that they are right. If you are looking for speed in black and white, then I suggest that you look at the hp 4000n. While the 4500c is the fastest true "COLOR" printer that I have seen, it takes much longer to warm up then other printers. When you are just sending 2 or 3 sheets, get a cup of coffee while you wait.

If you are networking printers, you can be both time and cost efficient by also networking a fast black and white printer such as the hp 4000n, as well as a low end desk jet for the quick draft print.

There are three reasons to spend this amount of money on this printer. 1. Quality 2. Quality and 3. Quality. I highly recommend this printer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Pleased with My Investment!, December 15, 2000

This review is from: HP Color LaserJet 4500N Printer (Office Product)
I print A LOT of graphs and charts on both paper and transparencies. I was very happy to see how well this printer handled them. Using HP Transparencies the printing quality was consistent and clean. No jams at all. Using plain 20lb copy paper, quality was even and bright. You can load up your media and literally walk away knowing that when you come back everything will be printed without having to "baby-sit" the machine. With the amount of printing I do (10K+ a month) that is very important to me. Hope this review helps people in their choice for a color laser printer.
