| User Reviews |  | "Bad Electrostatic Transfer Belt Engineering Design"
rating: 1
I have had 5 HP printers in the past 12 years, 2 of them using HP Color LaserJet technology. The 3600n and the 1518ni have both suffered electrostatic transfer belt failure. The 3600n failed twice during a 14 month life cycle with minimal use and the 1518ni failed during installment a few minutes out of the box. I don't recommend HP Color Laser technologies at this time but do recommend their Black and White laser technology. I do have 2 black and white laser printers that are working very well.

Picture perfect quality!
rating: 5
This is one amazing color laserjet - probably one of the best bang for the buck you can find among all color laser printers. I had recently bought this printer in order to print out more than 2,500 color pages (10 copies of my Ph.D. dissertation). I needed the best quality print-outs since I had a lot of pictures and artwork within my document. As a result, I had to buy a printer that was of high quality but also reasonably priced since I'm on a budget - and I wasn't disappointed at all!
Upon installing the software, I was already amazed by the test print out. The printed picture on standard multipurpose paper looked as if it was taken from a profesionally printed photograph. The text was crisp, and the colors were bright! In terms of print-out quality, this is by far one of the best printers you can find.
As for some technical specs, the printer does print 8 ppm, so depending on your needs, this may be good or bad. It does offer USB or Ethernet connection which is extremely convenient. The best thing is that no matter how large your document is, it prints within 30 seconds upon hitting the print button on your computer (and this is when I run my HP on a shared network). However, buyers beware - I have had some difficulty installing the complete HP software since I am running Vista on PC. It took a little longer than I wanted, but I was able to get everything installed at the end of the day :) Overall, no other printers can beat this one, and I highly recommend this printer to those who demand high quality prints from a printer that is economically priced!

Great printer!
rating: 5
This printer performs exactly as other reviews have stated. Great quality, very reasonable per-page cost, and the toner cartridges are low priced. Has worked great since we purchased this a couple of months ago. Would definitely recommend to anyone else.

Nice printer - expensive total cost of ownership.
rating: 3
Pros: Decent speed, nice user interface, nice media handling.
Cons: Toner very hard to find. Very expensive, recycled cartridges not availablle outside of UK. High yield cartrides not available.
Summary: Bought early on expecting other toner sources to appear in the market to move the HP colorspere cartridge price points down due to competition and to have the abillity to be green friendly through recycled cartidges. This market has not appeared. Take the yield numbers with a grain of salt. Most people use color where color is important and for laser color the density per page is greater than the numbers used in cartridge ratings. This means you are likely using black and white for drafts and text documents. But if you are using color for a Powerpoint slide the numbers of pages per cartridge will likely drop per your own higher usage rate of color for those pages. So don't plan on the cartridge yield number being accurate for your own situation. As with cars and cartridges your mileage may vary. A complete cartridge reload costs more that the street price of the printer.

Two Defective Printers in a Row
rating: 1
Normally HP printers are quality products, but this one is a dud in my opinion. The first one I received made the same screeching noises other reviewers have reported and then printed only solid black pages. I requested a replacement from Amazon.com and they sent one over night. The second printer had the same problems as the first, so I've asked for a refund. Getting two printers with the exact same defect points to some design and quality control issues from HP.
