Taking Stock Of The HP Color LaserJet CP4005n Printer

Taking stock of the HP Color LaserJet CP4005n printer reveals a machine ready to go across a broad spectrum of print tasks and performance criteria. Hewlett-Packard seems to have built this particular printer to accommodate the work needs of just about any sort of workgroup looking for a black-and-white and color printer. It might not be the cheapest printer on the block, but neither is it the most expensive.

Print speeds in the 4005n are fairly exceptional, considering that the printer is made to handle both color and monochrome. In black-and-white, the 4005n is able to print out at a robust 30 ppm while color print jobs are given to the tasker at around 25 ppm. It'll be difficult to find another printer for the price that could do this sort of print tasking at the same price point.

Altogether, it seems obvious that Hewlett-Packard created the 4005n to produce the maximum number of copies in the shortest length of time possible. From the time the first print job is sent to the printer until this time the first page from that printer emerges is only about 12 seconds and with 600 dots per inch resolution, the print job will look more than acceptable.

Just about any information technology (IT) specialists tasked with getting the printer connected to a network has remarked that the job seems to go particularly easy. It comes with both USB and Ethernet connection ports although it doesn't feature any sort of wireless capability. Hewlett-Packard, though, has other printers in this series that can handle that sort of connectivity task.

With a robust 128 MB of RAM onboard, it's nice to know that a full 512 MB is available should a workgroup require that much memory. It's most likely the case, though, that 128 MB should do just fine. It'll all be run by a very nice 533 MHz microprocessor, which will keep any print jobs prioritized correctly and then print out as they come in.

Onboard paper storage capability can range all the way up to 1100 sheets, though the 4005n comes standard with the ability to handle about 600 sheets in its auto load input trays. It will be able to also print out on a large number of different media stock, including labels, transparencies, envelopes and high gloss paper as well as standard plain paper stock. This makes it a fairly versatile machine.

Maximum monthly duty cycle ratings for this particular printer can be as much as 80,000 pages per month. This gives it a durability that many other printers in this price range will be hard-pressed to match, especially given that this printer is featured at a relatively lower-cost. It'll be rare indeed if maintenance is needed more than required. HP recommends minor maintenance after about 7000 pages.
