HP Color LaserJet 2700 Printer

Colour laser printer using inline cartridge arrangement for fast colour performance. The base model CLJ 2700 achieves 15 pages per minute in colour and 20 pages per minute with black and white print.

The CLJ 2700 is a fully independent printer with PCL and Postscript language support. HP claim the printer has a small footprint and quiet operation, easily fits into office environments. Some critics say the printer is rather large and noisy. The aim was to creates professional documents for small businesses and home offices.

The CLJ 2700 was forerunner of a series the CLJ 3000, 3600, 3800. These printers split the design three ways:

  • CLJ3000 had fast mono print at 29 pages per minute A4 (30ppm US letter)
  • CLJ3600 has colour pages at 17 pages per minute A4; aimed at accurate print but at low cost by using host-based print.
  • CLJ3800 aimed at accurate colour print but without the fast mono ability

The CP3505 is similar to the 3800 but with improved speed. Later models add duplex options and are a bit faster.

Control:

Line LCD display and simple buttons for easy printer management. The network model has an embedded web server and supports HP Web Jetadmin.

Duty Cycle:

HP suggest a duty cycle up to 50,000 pages per month although (as often happens with duty cycle figures) a more realistic use would be a tenth of this.
