Fast, exceptional color output
With HP’s in-line color printing, you can print professional color documents as quickly as black-only documents—up to 27 ppm. Experience dramatic improvements in print quality with HP’s ImageREt 3600, an HP proprietary printing solution. Most high-resolution technologies cause degradation in printer performance due to increased data transmission, but HP’s innovative technologies achieve equivalent or better print quality without such tradeoffs.
The following printing system technologies work together to automatically deliver the best possible output for all of your documents:
The high resolution laser imaging system creates
near-photographic quality images.
The print mechanism’s design results in excellent uniformity
and color plane registration.
HP’s industry-leading image enhancements deliver
excellent tones, sharpness, and clarity.
Intelligent color controls produce color that is the same—
page after page—over printer life.
Special printing modes provide excellent gloss matching,
so that the shininess of the printed image matches the gloss of the media. The printer’s image mode is optimized for image printing with HP Glossy Photo & Imaging Laser Paper.
HP Smart printing supplies2 include chemically grown toner
for fine detail, bright saturated colors, and consistent color throughout the life of the cartridge.
An environmental sensor enables the printer to tune toner
particle charge, for uncompromised print quality in a variety of working environments.
Service and support from HP
HP offers a variety of support options to assist you with
setup and maintenance. Start with the standard one-year limited hardware warranty that includes phone support backed by award-winning HP Customer Care. To further ensure trouble-free operation and to maximize the capabilities of your printer, you can upgrade your service and support options to include network installation and extended printer maintenance.
Easy, flexible printing
Designed with medium to large office workgroups in mind, the printer is simple to install, use, and maintain.
Gain quick access to the four easy-to-replace print
cartridges through a single front door. The simple paper path design results in fewer and easier interactions with the printer.
Minimize printer downtime when you use genuine
HP Smart printing supplies proactive alert messages, supplies ordering, and convenient, simple installation.

print jobs. Designed for easy troubleshooting and configuration, the control panel displays up to four lines of text and animated graphics simultaneously.

that enable status monitoring,
HP color management tools
The HP color access control solution makes color printing and copying more affordable than ever by helping you 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 black­and-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.
