HP Color LaserJet 4700 - Printer - colour - laser - Legal, A4 - 600 dpi x 600 dpi - up to 30 ppm (mono) / up to 30 ppm (colour) - capacity: 600 sheets - parallel, Hi-Speed USB The HP Color LaserJet 4700 series enables superior productivity with fast printing and processing speeds, expandable memory, and an engine that's built to last. Get more done with fast printing speeds up to 30 ppm for mono and color, two-sided printing at full speed and a first page out in under 10 seconds thanks to HP's instant-on technology which reduces warm-up time.

This printer is a big brut of a yoke. Its a very heavy duty printer that’s not for the feeble. The two paper trays is very useful and it’s a reliable piece of work. Having a colour printer in an office can cause havoc. It will go through a mountain of paper. Also the ink cartridges: there are four ink cartridges need to run this machine, black yellow red and cyan which is a fancy word for blue. These will need to be refilled regularly. the black nearly every 2 weeks. The cost of these cartridges is overwhelming and can cripple the stationery expensive for any place. I spent 1600 euro recently on getting two spares for each colour. I m living on chickpeas for the rest of the month. Good printer tho.
