Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

For companies that need strong performance from a color printer, Hewlett-Packard has designed the 8550 series to meet the high standards of creative and corporate divisions. The Hewlett-Packard Color LaserJet 8550 is the entry-level member of the series, but is still an impressive workhorse for offices that need a large-capacity color printer. The 8550 is ideal for all of your internal and departmental color printing needs--from marketing to CAD, from creative to finance. And automatic color calibration regulates the density of each color to give you a superior degree of color consistency from the first print to the last.

With the HP 8550, you can quickly and economically produce up to 12-by-18.5-inch pages on a wide variety of media and weights, including glossy and card stock. It has an input capacity of up to 1,100 pages, comes with 2 paper trays, and manages paper weights from 16-pound bond to 80-pound cover. It also supports an optional third tray. To further boost speed and save time, you might also consider purchasing the optional auto-duplex unit, which allows printing on both sides of a page automatically.

The HP 8550 offers 600 dpi resolution with HP Image Resolution Enhancement technology (HP ImageREt 2400), and offers fast multiple prints with RIP-once technology--all resulting in high-quality output. The printing speed is 6 ppm for full color on 8.5-by-11-inch and A4 documents, and 24 ppm for black-and-white documents. The built-in 3.2 GB hard disk can store very large print jobs, and it ensures consistent, high-quality printing over the life of the printer. The HP 8550 has two open EIO slots, and supports the optional HP JetDirect 600N (EIO) internal print servers.

With its enormous capacity--a 60,000-page monthly duty cycle--and high-technology features, the 8550 is distinctly suited for your most important printing jobs throughout the workplace.
