HP Color LaserJet CP3525 Printer

A4 Colour laser printer with a speed up to 30 pages per minute.

Also known as the HP CP3520 Series these printers are an entirely new HP / Canon design introduced in March 2009. They replace the Colour Laserjet 3000 and CLJ 3505 series.

Features are:

  • Black and white prints at the same cost as those from a mono printer. Optional high capacity black cartridges give low print costs.
  • Suited to print-shop quality and photographic work with HP ImageREt 3600 and HP ColorSphere toner.
  • Fast processor and large memory so the printer need not slow down when it deals with complicated page layouts.
  • Gigabit networking built-in on network models with IPv6 and security features such as IPSec.
  • USB 2.0 connection to a local PC on all models.
  • Two-sided printing built-in on duplex models.
  • HP EIO expansion slot to add networking and storage options.
  • Instant-on fuser both saves energy and delivers documents quickly from standby.

The same print engine is also available as the CM3530 MFP series of multifunction printer / copiers.

What this machine delivers is printing fast enough for workgroup use in mono or colour. Ordinary black and white printing is at a price comparable with many mono printers. Engaging the colour mechanism increases the cost per page but has no impact on speed.

The design uses a set of four toner / drum print cartridges inline for speed. The arrangement of the print cartridges is unique for HP with the transfer belt occupying the top of the printer. The toner / developer/ drum print cartridges are organised underneath the belt with the drums facing upwards. This gives the machine a simple paper path for its fairly small size.

Control:

Four-line colour LCD with a built-in help function. An embedded Web server to gain access to support and order supplies (for network-connected products).

HP Easy Printer Care software (a Web-based status and troubleshooting tool). Internet-enabled supply-ordering capabilities through HP Easy Printer Care software and embedded Web server.

Note that there is a heartbeat LED on the formatter - if it doesn't pulse on and off there is a problem. See the user manual.

Duty Cycle:

Up to 75,000 pages per month maximum duty cycle. Recommended monthly volume 1,500 to 5,000 pages per month.

HP Say: "Duty cycle is defined as the maximum number of pages per month of imaged output. This value provides a comparison of product robustness in relation to other HP LaserJet or HP Color LaserJet devices, and enables appropriate deployment of printers and MFPs to satisfy the demands of connected individuals or groups."

Print speed up to 30 ppm in mono and colour. First page out in 11 seconds

Consumables:

As usual with HP printers each colour is supplied by a single piece print cartridge. Unusually there is also a waste toner collection unit at the left side of the printer. There is also a transfer belt to replace, and a secondary transfer roller. The fuser is at the top left of the printer. HP helpfully provide a defects ruler in the user manual to help diagnose faults.

There are four print cartridges for Yellow, Magenta, Cyan and Black arranged in a diagonal row behind the fold down front flap of the printer. Each cartridge slides out end-on. The printer LCD gives messages warning that toner is low and a new cartridge should be ordered but can continue printing. When toner is exhausted a message like "REPLACE CYAN CARTRIDGE" is given. At this point the printer stops unless the user opts to override the message in the REPLACE SUPPLIES menu. (See the User Manual)
