The HP Color LaserJet series printers set a new standard for colour printing by producing documents of exceptional quality at high speed in networked and non-networked environments, thanks to these new features:

Superb High Definition Colour

The HP Color LaserJet Series printers are installed with HP’s new resolution enhancement technologies which maximise colour output quality at full engine speed:

• True 600 dpi 24 bit colour - provides an exceptional true colour of 300 lines per inch for outstanding clarity

• Image REt 2400 - image enhancement technology that produces crisp, sharp text; thin lines, bold graphics and photolike images

• Matte and glossy finish modes

• Automatic colour calibration - ensures consistent colour and avoids the frustration of streaking, inaccurate colour matching and smudging

• HP ColorSmart II - optimises images printed from the Internet and multimedia applications, provides colour matching, consistent colour and half-toning via industry-standard sRGB support, and utilises Intel’s MMX™ Technology for colour processing up to 200% faster

• Colour Management System supporting Pantone and ICC Industry Standard

Faster Performance

The high standards of the HP Color LaserJet 8500 have been enhanced by HP technology which maximises output speed and reduces waiting time:

• 24 pages per minute (ppm) rated engine speed for black-and-white A4 documents (16 ppm for HP Color LaserJet 4500)

• 6 ppm engine speed for full-colour A4 paper documents (4 ppm for HP Color LaserJet 4500)

• 1.5 ppm engine speed for colour A3 size media and heavy or glossy paper

• 133 MHz MIPS 4700 processor - works on a reduced instruction principle to provide better performance and fast colour formatting (133 MHz NEC VR4300 for HP Color LaserJet 4500)

• 1 MB per second Expanded Capabilities Port (ECP) parallel C-connector I/O

• Up to 128 MB memory capable of printing colour-intensive files at high speed

• First-page-out in 21 seconds for A4 black-text printing and 36 seconds for A4 full-colour printing (12.5 seconds/ black text and 24 seconds/ full colour for HP Color LaserJet 4500)

• HP Transmit Once and MOPying (in HP Color LaserJet 8500) - simplifies workflows and reduces network traffic by enabling the user to send a single command and receive multiple original copies, which eliminates a trip to the photocopier

Superior Network Management

Network administrators will be able to effectively manage all their network printers in a fast and flexible mixed environment

• HP JetAdmin and Web JetAdmin software - provides easy set up, remote access, remote management and real-time diagnostics in a mixed platform network environment
