HP Original Toners

The Color LaserJet 4700 uses inline toner cartridges and direct to page printing to give throughput of up to 30 pages per minute.
The machine launched in 2005 as a successor to the Color LaserJet 4600 and it shares general design principles but very little else. Although these machines are ten years old and more they have a respectable turn of speed and in December 2015 many of the critical parts are still available - so there is mileage in them. Original toners are pretty expensive but then a 10,000 page cartridge is huge by normal standards.
Particularly in its network multi-tray variants this printer was primarily aimed at workgroups. In that role it is probably being replaced - corporate budgets tend to yield to the temptation of a pretty new machine in the end. The printer is fast and robust enough, with sufficient cartridge capacity that it can be used as a production printer for short runs of things like catalogues so there will be mailing houses giving these things a hammering!

- Color LaserJet 4700n Printer - Q7492A - network
- Color LaserJet 4700dn Printer - Q7493A - duplex, network
- Color LaserJet 4700dtn Printer - Q7494A - duplex, tray 3+4, network
- Color LaserJet 4700ph+ Printer - Q7495A - duplex, 6 trays, network stapler, 544MB RAM 40GB disk
The 4700 and 4700n cannot easily be upgraded to duplex. Otherwise the 4700 series is highly scalable with up to 4 stacking trays.
The CLJ 4730MFP is a related multifunction print, copy fax device.
The HP CP4005 is closely related, slightly slower and with fewer expansion options intended for individuals and small teams.

- Color LaserJet CP4005dn - CB504A - 25ppm with duplex and network
The CLJ CP6015 series was one possible replacement, a faster printer at 40ppm with wide format and multifunction capability. HP also introduced the new "Edgeline" page width printers promising cost savings and back in 2009 we suggested "New printer buyers will want to look at those options". Actually we hope you didn't buy one of the edgeline inkjets. HP didn't sell many and we gather they more or less had to be accompanied by an on-site engineer!
The CLJ 4700 design is moving towards obsolescence but still has life in it. Whilst more recent printers boast 1200x1200 resolution and 40ppm speeds you aren't likely to see a huge quality or performance boost - and those big cartridges offer better value.
Control:
Backlit LCD panel with 4 lines of text and animated graphics.
Duty Cycle:
Up to 100,000 pages per month. Print cartridge life is around 10,000 pages. The CLJ4700 is similar in design to its predecessor the CLJ4650 but the duty cycle figure has been uprated implying it is a bit more robust or that experience with the older design proved it lasted well.
Print Speed:
Speed up to 30 pages per minute for letter and presumably for A4. Speed 4 ppm for transparencies. First page out in 10 seconds from ready and 16.5 seconds from powersave. Uses instant-on technology to reduce warmup time.
Copy Abilities:
The CLJ 4730MFP is a related multifunction print, copy fax device.
