The HP Colour LaserJet CP3525X is an excellent printer for a small business that requires up to 30 pages per minute in print speed and would like to accomplish this in both colour and black & white. This colour laser printer can easily produce prints that have a resolution of up to 1,200 x 600 dpi. In addition, this printer uses HP ImageREt 3600 to reproduce colours and to enhance images. It also has a 515 MHz processor that handles information with the use of 512 MB of memory.
Design
The HP CP3525X is a bit bigger than most printers with dimensions of 51.30 cm in width, 49.02 cm in depth, and 52.07 cm in height. This printer is quite heavy to move around at a weight of 40.50 kg. To handle incoming prints, the HP CP3525x is equipped with a 250 sheet input tray that is accompanied by a 500 sheet tray as a backup. In addition, there is a 100 sheet multipurpose tray that is also included. The output tray is small in comparison and only holds 250 sheets of paper. The multipurpose tray on this printer can handle many different forms of media and include cards, transparencies, recycled paper, envelopes, plain paper, labels, and glossy paper. HP CP3525x toner is also manufactured to produce 5,000 pages per cartridge and high capacity HP CP3525X toner with 10,500 pages are available to reduce the need to constantly purchase refills.
Advantages
A feature that makes the top of the list is duplex printing. This special benefit will allow you to print double-sided on documents and decrease paper costs. This printer is able to produce rapid prints and can have its first print out in 11 seconds regardless of whether it is in colour or black and white. On a monthly basis, this printer can produce up to 75,000 pages and will keep up with the requirements of a busy office. This printer also comes with a memory expansion slot that will increase RAM up to 1 GB. Access to replace the HP CP3525X toner is extremely easy and won't take much effort.
Disadvantages
The only disadvantage that this printer has is its lack of scanner or copier. Having these would make the HP Colour LaserJet CP3525x a more complete printer. However, the speed and quality that this printer can print at will makes up for its expensive upkeep.
