integrated into one supply, so you refresh the imaging
system and ensure consistent print quality when you
replace a cartridge.

Superior HP print quality
The HP Color LaserJet 3800 series printer features an
enhanced version of HP ImageREt 3600, a suite of
innovative technologies HP developed to provide
professional, high-quality color documents and images.
The enhanced HP ImageREt 3600 system is designed to
deliver reliable print quality regardless of the printing
environment and includes a media type sensor, an
environmental sensor, and intelligent, automatic calibration.
Automatic internal color adjustment provides consistent color
over a range of environments.
The HP Color LaserJet 3800 series printer is designed
together with the new HP ColorSphere toner and HP papers
to provide optimized printing results. New HP ColorSphere
toner features gloss levels that are significantly improved over
previous HP color toners when printing on glossy paper. The
result is brilliant, intense colors and excellent photo quality
output for your business documents.
HP Color Access Control solution
HP Color Access Control solution makes color printing more
affordable than ever by helping you to control who uses
color and when they use it:
• Assign color access to specific users or workgroups.
Use either your printer’s embedded Web server or
HP Web Jetadmin’s fleet configuration capability to
designate who has access to color printing. That way,
people who truly need color—such as your sales team and
marketing department—can use it.
• Assign color access by application. Designate certain
applications for printing color and others for printing
black-and-white to ensure that users only print color on
their most important print jobs, and that other printouts—
such as Web pages—are always black-and-white.
• Shut down color completely or temporarily disable color
capability. Disable color printing on shared printers—
locking out all individuals and workgroups—so you can
save your color resources for special projects or seasonal
needs. HP Web Jetadmin’s Print Driver Pre-configuration
Plug-in lets IT Administrators set users’ print settings to
control color printing by print queue.
• Track color use by job, by user, and by device. HP Web
Jetadmin’s Report Generation Plug-in generates real-time
and periodic usage reports that make it easy to track color
use by job, by user, and by device. Plus, it allows you to
easily allocate costs to individual departments.

HP printer management tools
Who says you can’t do it all? With a little help, HP knows
you can. HP makes printer management and consolidated
supplies reordering trouble-free.
• View printer and supplies status, perform simple
troubleshooting, and manage printing functions for an
individual printer from your computer, rather than the
printer control panel, through the print driver Services tab
(for end users) or through the HP Embedded Web Server
(for IT professionals).
• Manage groups of printers from a single access point. For
IT professionals, HP Web Jetadmin helps you install,
configure, and remotely manage all of your network
peripherals through a simple Web interface.
• For end users and office managers, HP Easy Printer Care
Software helps you manage up to 15 HP printers from
your computer to keep them running at their best. You can
also proactively manage supplies and reorder online with
the click of a button.
HP Universal Print Driver for Windows
Improve productivity, increase satisfaction, and use valuable
resources more effectively with the HP Universal Print Driver
for Windows. The HP Universal Print Driver for Windows
includes separate HP PCL5 and HP postscript emulation
editions of a single driver that gives end-users access to
almost any HP printer—without the need to install separate
drivers. At the same time, it helps IT manage printer fleets
more effectively by providing features such as usage tracking
and the ability to easily create, import, and alter
HP Managed Printer Lists.
Free as a download, the HP Universal Print Driver for
Windows delivers functionality on par with HP’s premium
drivers—giving users access to features such as two-sided
printing, hard disk, input trays, output bins, stapling, and
more. Download the HP Universal Print Driver for Windows
