Looking for an affordable way to add high-speed color laser printing to your network? Look no further than the network-ready HP color LaserJet 4600dn, which includes an automatic duplexer for two-sided printing. Improved over the successful 4550 generation, the 4600dn offers more than four times faster color printing, at 17 ppm; 50 percent more paper capacity with two large paper trays (100-sheet and 500-sheet); 72 percent more processing speed; and 50 percent more memory (400 MHz and 96 MB memory). The result is fast printing of complex jobs.

Enjoy superior networking with new HP Jetdirect 615n EIO internal print servers for reduced network traffic. True 600 x 600 dpi with HP Image REt 2400 produces crisp text, bold graphics, and vivid images. PCL6, PLC5c, and Postscript 3 emulation provide exceptional compatibility. An intuitive LCD control panel displays text and graphics. And you can manage the printer through the Internet or an embedded Web server.

Optional accessories for the 4600dn include an extra 500-sheet paper tray (for a total of 1,100 sheets), memory up to 416 MB, and a hard disk drive that enables RIP Once technology for faster multiple original prints, saving you time and money. Optional HP Fast Infrared accessory allows walk-up printing using a laptop or digital camera with infrared capabilities.

(...)This printer is FAST! I use this printer for printing customer proofs (I'm a part-time professional photographer), and the colors are more accurate than photo-quality ink-jet prints (although ink-jet prints are generally more pleasing to the eye).

4.0 out of 5 stars What a Great Printer - A Workhorse, February 12, 2004

This review is from: HP Color LaserJet 4600DN Printer (C9661A#ABA) (Office Product)

I've had this printer for about a year now and it has been amazing. I work on private placements frequently and sometimes need to be able to print 100+ page documents at all hours of the day and night. This printer can crank them out amazingly fast, with great print quality and duplex printing to save paper. (I formerly used an old laser Multi-function device that printed at about 25% the speed, with no color, duplex or network connectivity - uggh!)

While I do not use the printer for extensive photo printing or other home/entertainment purposes, the color printing is excellent for business purposes - reports, proposals, etc.

The internal print server did burn out about 6 months after I bought it. HP Service was great - sent me a new part ASAP and I was up and running right away - very much unlike some of the customer support experiences I have had with other consumer electronic device manufacturers (Philips/TiVo). (The issue manifested itself by the printer "disappearing" from my available printers, needing to be reinstalled from time-to-time. I finally figured out what was going on after calling HP support when it happened a couple of times. All is fine now.)
